California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50. California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Reminder to anyone who needs it today: Reading books (at home, on the bus, in Starbucks); owning books; loving books; discussing books. None of these things are “performative” unless you’re selling tickets.

Read in public. Read in private. Read e-books, genre books, comics, fanfiction. Read literature. Read nonfiction. Read books you’ve already read. Listen to audiobooks. Read what you want. There’s no such thing as “doing reading the wrong way.”

Unsolicited Writing Advice, no: 76783.9999: PROMOTION. Trad published authors can usually rely on some promotion from their publishers. However, you shouldn't rely on this: publicists are often overworked and underpaid, and don't have time to think up brilliant ideas for all their authors.

Let's see what the team are reading this week! Bert is stuck into "The Cut Throat Trial", the first novel from The Secret Barrister! Three teenagers are in the dock for murder, but they all claim their innocence... - Michael

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Happy Obama Appreciation Day 🇺🇸✨ On this day, we honor leadership grounded in hope, dignity, and class. President Barack Obama reminded us that intelligence, empathy, and calm strength belong in the White House. 💙🇺🇸 #HappyObamaAppreciationDay #NoKingDay

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

Last week, pupils from 10 schools across Yorkshire took part in hands-on activities at the University to mark International Women’s Day 👩‍🔬 The event, which celebrated gender diversity in engineering, showcased achievements in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) 🔬

Happy Women's Day to all women in our resistance community! We honor all women who came before us, fought courageously for equal rights, and stood up against misogyny and the patriarchy. Know your power and stand in it as we continue the fight to preserve our fundamental rights and freedoms.

Holy shit!! Trump just slipped on live TV that he lost the 2020 presidential election. Trump would HATE it if this goes viral:

Impossible to resist this rallying cry from Lucy van Pelt on International Women’s Day

Every #IWD my buddy Bronte at @scandikitchen.bsky.social posts this quote from beloved character Pippi (Langstrømpe in Norwegian, Longstocking in English) - is it any wonder us Scandis grow up to be the way we are? 💪 (Created by Astrid Lindgren 🇸🇪)

Gender equality doesn’t just 'happen.' Women’s rights must be fought for and protected. Our responsibility is clear. To lead by example and create a world where opportunities are fair for all. Not just today, but every single day. #InternationalWomensDay

MY LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK ABOUT PRIDE comes out today and I'm feeling extremely Ralph Wiggum "I'm in danger" about it. It's beautiful though and I love it no matter what they say

I'm reading lots at the moment and loving every page! How lucky are we to have books to escape in to!

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did to our country on J6

A friendly face on my walk today.

Friendly reminder: there’s plenty of time left to claim up to $1,750 per child with our nation-leading Child Tax Credit.   Last year, we put over $550 million into the pockets of nearly 225,000 families.   Don’t leave money on the table, Minnesota.

Go on then... what's everyone's favourite love story?

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

🚨I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Donald J. Trump did‼️

Dr. Patricia Bath invented laserphaco, a device and technique to remove cataracts. It performed all steps of cataract removal: making the incision, destroying the lens and vacuuming out the fractured pieces. Dr. Bath is the first Black woman physician to receive a medical patent. #BlackHistoryMonth

😡 Elon Musk is allowed into the Department of Education but our elected officials are NOT! Make it make sense.

As the forces of hatred are on the march, my promise is this: Our trans neighbors will continue to be safe, protected, and welcome in Minnesota.

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze. I worked at an organization that -helped veterans who have lost a limb -Assisted elderly and disabled people -Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

Ironically, it took me a couple of seconds.
