Pick a Bond from the photos you already have.

All I have to do is open Bluesky and I add at least one book to my tbr. My library holds have been over 90 for at least 2 years. Just today, I have added 8 books.

I have just realized I have not read an Ali Smith book since Hotel World. *adds 5 books to tbr*

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

5th book for AAPI month was Superfan by Jenny Tinghui Zhang, which was the February pick for @thebloggess.bsky.social’s Fantastic Stranglings Book Club. I liked the exploration of fandom. This one succeeded where 2 other books I read this month fell short. 4 stars. 📚

👀

Yes.

“Tell Congress to defend the right of states to regulate AI. The petition takes 30 seconds. Connecticut already did the hard part.”

My first book of this year’s AAPI Month reads was Cleo Dang Would Rather Be Dead by Mai Nguyen. I went in blind and my eyes are still raw from all the tears I shed while reading it. 5 stars. 📚

Not to brag but my final check up today, my oral surgeon told me that I have the healthiest gums he had ever seen at an implant site.

Jude the Obscure. What an absolutely miserable experience that was.

We are definitely seeing THAT CLIP on @lastweektonight.com again this week.

I watch a lot of British TV. Without a doubt the best I have watched recently is Riot Women. Everyone should watch it. It’s amazing. I also enjoyed A Taste of Murder, After the Flood, Karen Pirie and Douglas is Cancelled.

Ninth Grader Demi Johnson receives National Geographic award for plan to save Mississippi's oyster reef population. The ninth grader has produced 1,100 oysters that will in turn spawn millions of larvae into the ecosystem, a huge ecological impact

Omg!! I love this story! I think about it every night. EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT.

Reposting so that I don’t forget this when I get to the finale in a few days.

Finally, some good news.

What is wrong with people? Have some respect. I doubt they would want someone to come to their job and heckle them.

This.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

You don't get to the Moon by cutting the number of H-1B visas, closing your borders, or stigmatizing immigrants.

Anytime yall wanna wrap this presidency up. Anytime.

Reminder

Philly area people: The CHOP garage collapse in Grays Ferry has (probably) killed 3 people, and all the animals at the Grays Ferry Philly Paws location have been evacuated. They desperately need cat foster homes until the shelter can reopen. Please help if you can! phillypaws.org/foster/

If we could just get all the women to stand behind the fact that a woman can be in charge... Like stop being a hating ass bitch and let us crush the patriarchy!

I too am a constituent @delauro.house.gov - it’s past time for “it won’t pass” reasoning. Clog up the works of this worthless administration with bureaucracy until he’s removed from office. Lives are on the line. Impeachment for Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and criminal charges for all!

As your constituent, I am asking you to introduce articles of impeachment.

After Trump's latest genocidal utterances, I'm posting this again from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

you need this

Trump threatened to destroy Iran’s power plants and bridges, posting that “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Legal experts and Amnesty International say the statements could constitute war crimes under the Geneva Conventions.
