Public libraries have overwhelming public support, so why are they under attack? Thank you to @itpi.bsky.social for highlighting how the fight for libraries is part of a broader assault on public knowledge and democracy. Read SHHH! NO MORE → inthepublicinterest.org/shhh-no-more/ #ForOurLibraries

Ten years ago, when I first starting writing, it would take me a matter of a few months to write a full manuscript. It’s been a rough decade in the query trenches. And maybe it’s waning motivation or inspiration but I swear it now takes me hours just to write 3 pages 😞 #writersky

Malnutrition is on a dangerous trajectory in the #Gaza Strip, marked by a spike in deaths in July. The crisis remains entirely preventable. Deliberate blocking and delay of large-scale food, health, and humanitarian aid has cost many lives. Statement from WHO. www.who.int/news/item/27...
