  • Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl Well, I can safely say it’s been exactly 10,000 years since I last did a Top 10 Tuesday. In that time, the host has changed and the topics have been many. But never mind those— we’re well past that. Today’s topic is books you liked but will probably never…

  • When it comes to inspirational celebrities, Hayley Kiyoko is towards the top of my list. She’s an out-and-proud lesbian who openly sings about girls. For me and many others, she’s a revelation.
