Sure, the world may be falling apart, but don't let that stop you from being kind. Don't let it stop you from searching for magic. Don't let it stop you from building a wizard tower out of books and gaining untold powers.

Announcing DOWNRIGHT SCOUNDRELS NEEDED. The Anarchist Cookbook meets Unforgiven in a story that is unapologetically about the means and methods one should use to interfere with the logistics and supply lines of those in power. March 2027.

As someone who recently had all their money seized, boy is it hard to get anyone to let you prove you didn't have it coming after the fact. Banks don't care. They'll take all your money & give it away without warning. Be worried about this no matter who you are.

you mess with the bull you get the horns. you mess with the goat you get the woodwinds. the horse has the string section and the rabbit is on percussion

A sequel!!!! I will treat myself to a reread of Tantie Merle and the Farmhand 4200 first. Such a good story ❤️

Nearly 147,000 US-born kids have had a parent abducted under the regime’s mass deportation obsessions. 22,000+ have seen both parents detained. The new family separation crisis is here. “Families are also now being split up in ways that are more dispersed, more hidden and harder to track.”

The Trump administration has deported 21,000 immigrants to places that the US State Department calls too dangerous for Americans to visit. The overwhelming majority of those deported had no criminal convictions, and at least 600 were children. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

A key part of any good vacation is reading a whole book in a single day

Visited Venus Flytraps today ❤️ I love these lil carnivorous guys

THE POPE IS QUOTING GANDALF!!!

Finished reading Saint Death’s Daughter ❤️

All I want to know is what was happening on northbound I-26 in Polk County, NC, around maybe noon today. All searches thus far have failed. Traffic was stopped for MILES.

I can't word this perfectly in bite size, but it's pretty clear many people in publishing saw diversity as a burden they've now been permitted to discard, a social media fad they no longer need. 2020 saw so many promises made to writers of color, and the past 5 years saw all of those promises broken

This is like trying to drill for oil through the ruins of Pompeii. Chaco canyon is one of the most significant native archeological sites in the United States. Absolutely disgusting to even propose it

Every time I get a cold, I underestimate how much kleenex I will use and how much orange juice I will drink

RFK Jr. is taking backdoor routes to cut preventive healthcare that must be covered under the ACA.

“Pirates, dinosaurs, and penguins” is the key information I need to check out a series

People do not fall in love with stories because they have massive worlds where every stone is described and noted. People obsess over every stone in a world because the story made them fall in love with it, and they want more to the point of dissecting every scrap of information available.

the trans agenda is literally just trans people asking to keep the rights trans people had without much issue until a few years ago, when Republicans started trying to take them away and a frightening amount of Democrats decided some of that was reasonable

This is a beautiful article and exactly on the nose. I played probably hundreds of hours of New Horizons and had a great time, but it was a pandemic and all my human friends were playing it too. Talking to the animals was almost always a disappointment.

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

I should not be able to carry $81 of groceries inside in a single trip

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

Finally started reading Saint Death’s Daughter!

nurserymaids just don't apprentice brave and daring lads to pirates by mistake anymore when did we lose our way

one of my favorite facts about the US coal industry is that it employs less people than Broadway

Dragons

“Roughly three-quarters of those children… are likely U.S. citizens”

It's probably bad that every hundred years or so in this country, the government decides to pay reparations to white supremacists, but reparations to Black and Indigenous people are consistently deemed a nonstarter or too hard.

Teams is what happens when MS looks at Zoom, Slack, and Dropbox and says "Put 'em all together and make 'em worse"

This is the biggest squirrel I have ever seen.

I visited Loganberry Books in Cleveland today, and it’s GORGEOUS and feels like it has infinite corners to explore. An ideal bookstore. With great self-control, I emerged with only three books.

So many new book releases today: @ada-hoffmann.bsky.social @sarahgailey.bsky.social @shannonchakraborty.bsky.social @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social @annleckie.com Matt Dinniman And tons more I don't even know about Happy release day to all!

Tapestry of Fate release daaaaaaay

Any mustelid fans here?

I am being effectively nostalgia-baited by this incredible romance novel premise: a 35-year-old woman is transported into the alternate reality of a MASH of hers from 7th grade bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

With Tapestry of Fate coming out on Tuesday, it’s time for a reread of The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi #amreading

Got my first sketches from my cover artist ❤️❤️❤️

I don’t know how to explain the huge gap between “I have no idea what’s going on in this story“ (complimentary) and “I have no idea what’s going on in this story“ (derogatory), but it’s so clear in my mind

“officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”
