This is a great time to escape into a book and ALSO an absolutely critical time to support the kind of books you want to keep seeing in the world by showing publishers they can still sell! Here are some of my favorite escape reads pubbed within the past year or so—what are yours? (More in thread!)

A proper villa vibe. Is this chunky legend floating into Fat Bear Week? The ultimate bracket reveal goes live today at 4 pm PT. Don’t miss it.

"Do you remember how we met?" The Dragon asked. "That feels like a trick question." The cat replied. The Dragon snorted. "I remember you were radiant." The cat said. "Oh stop. I was old and frumpy." "Never." The cat said, firmly. "You were terrifying. And in that moment I loved you forever."

What movie do you consider "perfect"?

Start using your public libraries. ACTIVELY REQUEST books by marginalized communities so libraries know the demand & can buy them. Use your NOTIFY ME tags in Libby. CHECK OUT books (electronic and physical) by marginalized authors. Circulation numbers and holds are critical for us.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

They should make an international franchise out of Murder She Wrote called Murder She Translated, where Jessica Fletcher's various translators in different countries also happen to solve crimes in their spare time

I’m not a writer for this year’s TBB, but there are some projects I wanna back! #TBBChat Hard to pick a fave fairy tale. Faerie Tale Theatre: The Dancing Princesses (good love story) Disney Animated: Sleeping Beauty (omg the artwork!) One I want a modern retelling of: Gold-Tree and Silver-Tree

I’d love to read a modern retelling of “Gold-Tree and Silver-Tree” one day. Murder, mayhem, ending with two wives and one husband (in a happily ever after throuple way). Seems really perfect for a retelling.

My half-baked theory is that the "if you don't measure it it's not there" stuff (CO2 emissions reporting, BLS shenanigans, this hunger survey) is a direct sibling to the attacks on advisory bodies (ACIP, National Cancer Center scientific advisory board, USPSTF, etc)—remove both data and expertise

Fuck your app. I want to be able to visit your website and do everything I need to do there. Apps are for specific functions, the way computer programs used to be.

“I was a convicted criminal, but I was proud of my crime…. It was above all the crime of seeking to convince my people that NONCOOPERATION WITH EVIL IS JUST AS MUCH A MORAL DUTY AS COOPERATION WITH GOOD.” -Dr. King, on his conviction for violating Alabama boycott law *emphasis added

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

Doesn’t super bother me, for the most part I get the clarity by trusting the author/TV/movie writers to unveil what the audience needs to know when the time is right. It’s pretty rare where I don’t get that clarity—and when that’s happened it’s been prose that is just not clear.

This is staggering. Dismantling the right wing propaganda machine is imo one of the biggest and most vital obstacles to the future of this country.

Remember the Iger who called out the Governor of FL for the “Don’t Say Gay” bill? Where’d that guy go? Wish I knew, we sure could use him now
