In the bookshop this morning: PARENTS: “Okay, we’re leaving now.” CHILD: *pulls another book from the shelf and sits down * CHILD: “Then I guess this is goodbye.”

Beloved Judge Frank Caprio has passed away from pancreatic cancer. He was 88. Rest in peace. #Resist

@naominovik.bsky.social What the world needs now is the Temeraire series as movies or a TV series. When the U.S. president decides the history of slavery is "too woke" to be shared in our museums, we need Art more than ever to fill the gaps. Your work is exactly what we need. #HistoryThroughArt

I kept this screenshot assuming someday we might be asked to forget.

In all my years of being married to my husband, he has never put the extra pillows on the bed in the morning after getting up. However, his favorite cat has decided this week that she likes this particular arrangement of pillows. Now they are on the bed in just this configuration every morning.

Today we honor what would’ve been Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 96th birthday. 🖤 Dr. King was revolutionary who fought for justice, equality, and love when the world needed it most. His fight isn’t over—it's on us to keep pushing, keep resisting, and keep his dream alive.

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

I'm seeing a video making the rounds that claims mammograms cause cancer. This anti-science movement is a contagion. Mammograms save lives. It saved mine when it detected an incidental #breastcancer. I was asymptomatic & the tumor was not yet palpable. An early diagnosis can be key to survival.

Another woman younger than 50 dealing with something that doctors still say is "rare" for someone so young, yet I've lost count of the women (& men & nonbinary ppl) I've known 30-50 yo dealing with it, and some haven't survived. For me, 1/6
