Threads just seems like a place to rage bait educators now?

The bittersweet schadenfreude of a relationship you hated watching all along from afar coming to an end.

My summer reading manifesto: Articles about sports, video game tutorials, comics, whatever. All reading helps them become better readers and writers (and humans)! Parents, please hear me. Graphic Novels are reading! Re-reading is reading! Audiobooks are reading! Reading together is reading!

Don’t forget to vote today, NJ! 🗳️

Military parades should celebrate the end of a war or conflict, not the beginning.

Pleeeeease NYC don’t rank Cuomo or Adams.

Surprised and grateful to encounter a description of atheism that is unapologetic and thoughtful in this book. Some believers have treated me so unkindly when they learned I am not one, and Knox echoes my response, that not believing in god does not mean I have no beliefs. #booksky 💙📚

In May, I found the books I enjoyed the most were books I wouldn’t have chosen without recommendations from others. @thestorygraph.com #booksky 💙📚

Live your life so The NY Times doesn’t spend an entire paragraph speculating everyone who wants to punch you.

Don't forget, the June 2025 #BannedBookSkyClub book is #TheLeftHandOfDarkness by Ursula Le Guin. Discussion begin date is June 9, 2025. See replies for link to feed. Please join us! #BookSky

Watching other adults ruin a sport for kids is the worst.

I’ve been working really hard on not using Amazon and I’m using a similar muscle to try really hard not to give clicks to websites that thrive off of farming clicks with misinformation and rage bait. They don’t care about putting people in danger, they only care about ad buys and eyeballs.

I’m sorry but roosters in the suburbs is a No for me.

I binged all of season 2 of #SLOMW and phew I can’t stop thinking about that Santa entrance in the finale. Perfect comedic timing and/or editing. 😂 #momtok

Just finished this heartwarming coming of age / road trip book, which I first heard about a couple weeks ago on the literary + genre episode of “What Should I Read Next?” #podcast. modernmrsdarcy.com/472-episode/ #audiobooks #booksky 💙📚

@emilynussbaum.bsky.social have you finished the added material for the Cue the Sun paperback yet? 🫠

Not ads for charter schools and ChatGPT embedded into podcasts I love. 💔

how am i supposed to look nice in 83% humidity. how.

This is one of the wildest, juiciest #memoirs I have ever read. I read Janelle Monae is attached to a possible film adaptation. Another great rec from @bookriot.bsky.social TBR! #truecrime #booksky 💙📚

#BannedBookSkyClub discussion of #TheGirlWhoLovedTomGordon by Stephen King #BookSky I've sent out talking points to start the discussion of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. I'll send out more periodically throughout May. To join check the hashtags or pin/like the feed (go to link; click on 3 dots)

I really love witnessing my tween start to develop his own musical taste. He’s still figuring it out, but it’s fascinating to see the songs he lands on along the way. Currently: Mr. Bluesky by ELO, misc French hip hop, and Spanish dance music he hears in MLB The Show.

On my 100th day of consecutive reading, I finished my first Stephen King book, which I enjoyed & might not have picked up if not for #BannedBookSkyClub. Looking forward to the discussion threads this week. Read out of your comfort zone sometimes! #booksky @thestorygraph.com @stephenking.bsky.social

My friend @lightlyanchored.bsky.social shared this with me and it is so delightful I wanted to share it with everyone! #NationalPoetryMonth #poetry www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

NYC voters, I’m begging you not to rank Adams or Cuomo.

For all the folks saying shedeur is being passed over bc they are wary of an overly involved dad - as an educator, I believe this.

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...

I don't need any more books right now, but tomorrow I'm going to either buy one from my local independent bookstore, or buy one from bookshop.org to support independent bookstores. #IndependentBookStoreDay #BookSky

I loathe being a person who makes conversation by saying “I’m so tired!” Because it’s basic and boring. However, it’s really true and all I can think about right now, so I’ll say it here and spare anyone I meet in person today.

Facing my fears and reading Stephen King for the first time! Join me in the #BannedBookSkyClub discussion for May! #currentlyreading #Booksky 💙📚⚾️

Finally decided to DNF an acclaimed book I didn’t want to give up on for weeks, and today I feel like a weight has been lifted. Life is too short and there are too many books to waste time on things that are just not for me! There are no prizes for completionists. #booksky

A few years ago, I wouldn’t have believed I would be rooting for the downfall of an EV company.

My 3rd book of #poetry for #poetrymonth! #jamesbaldwin #booksky 💙📚

A delightful after-work wind-down. #currentlyreading #islathewhoodle #mcdoodles #booksky #dogsofbsky

I read Huck Finn for the first time to set myself up for James, which is so far wonderful and has the same narrator as The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store. First time with Sigurd Nunez, and I’m really enjoying it. #currentlyreading #hisfic #litfic #booksky

Nothing justifies a lazy day like an animal deciding to share a chair with you. Everything on my to do list can wait. #islathewhoodle #mcdoodles

Phew! Being a nobody and innocuously talking mostly about books, this place seemed pretty okay. But use the word feminist or mention a prominent feminist poc writer and the transphobes and misogynists come out of the woodwork. Blocking works, but hat tip to those fending off this sludge every day.

Reading from The Portable Feminist Reader a little bit almost every day. I’m not sure how to explain this, but you know how some books just FEEL good in your hands? This one is the perfect size and thickness and the paper flops perfectly. @roxanegay.bsky.social #currentlyreading #booksky 💙📚

I’ve been trying to read poetry almost every day this month. It’s a literary blind spot for me. I picked this book up after finishing Quan Barry’s novel We Ride Upon Sticks recently. #currentlyreading #poetry #poetrymonth #booksky 💙📚

Today or tomorrow, I’ll be able to finish reading Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino, which is dryly funny but heartwarming. #currentlyreading #fiction #bookquotes #newyork #booksky 💙📚

I've been on the road today, so this is late posting. It's National Library Week and today is Take Action for Libraries Day. ALA provides information on what you can do; see link below. Now's a bad time for everyone, including libraries. Any help is good.

Just the smallest, pettiest, lamest people in charge
