“When we allow political groups to pull books that feature marginalized characters, we’re not just removing ink and paper. We are sending a devastating message to students that their stories…and their very lives do not matter,” Jones said. publishingperspectives.com/2026/07/cens...

Unfortunately Fred is FIV+ so she can’t come in since we have another cat. 😭 I’m hoping we can find her a loving FIV+ or only-cat home

Live footage of me after arguing with CVS’s AI phone service for ten minutes for a 10-second question it couldn’t answer

We’ve chosen to take the plunge and adopt the street cat who decided she lives on my porch. Off to the vet tomorrow for a (hopefully) clean bill of health. Everyone, meet Freddie Spaghetti Redacted-Redacted

GenAI sucks, I will not be using it, and I am absolutely judging you negatively if you are.

Indeed. We are not forcing upon Graham the memory of him being a villain, a coward, and a malignant presence in the country; that was the legacy he chose again and again. He earned our contempt, as has everyone else on his path.

Sunday scaries this Sunday scaries that— I’m having an entire month of summer scaries!! How is it already July!! Summer is basically over and I have to start thinking about back to school??? Already??

I’ve always wanted my own READ poster… so I made one

Fresh finish! This is my favorite yarn I’m sad I don’t get to keep this one

Had to deactivate my Facebook for a little while. I forgot you can’t have a little criticize billionaires, as a treat 😮‍💨

Today I made a pillow, just cause I wanted to

I got a sneak peek of what the new carpet looks like in my library… it’s worse than I could have ever imagined. It looks like I’m having an ambien-nightmare about being trapped in an airport purgatory

If you loved Widow’s Bay I have five book recommendations for you ⬇️

I got some new headshots and it turns out I am a cutie patootie, thank you for your time

If you ever have the opportunity to listen to Seanan McGuire speak… do so. She is so academic and eloquent and so SMART I love her

I came in with a vision and my tech nailed it #manicuresky #fishsky

I’ll be honest with you, I haven’t felt “sexy” in actual years. I don’t know why, but I’ve felt pretty and cute and whatever but not sexy. Well, I just got a sneak peek from a shoot I did and actually u can’t tell me SHIT I am SO SEXY oh my GOSH

A fun but silly thing my husband and I do is “play Blockbuster,” which is when we go to the library and pick out a DVD to watch later. It’s really fun honestly and I’m getting close to cutting another streaming service

Remember how you used to just know everyone’s phone number? Then cell phones came out and you could barely recite your own number? That’s what AI’s endgame is but for every aspect of your life.

I organize a monthly low-skills craft club, and I do it out of a desire for community. I come up with all the ideas & provide most of the materials and today I am sitting in a room w a table of craft supplies and no crafters and tbh it feels worse than when I didn’t get any valentines in 3rd grade.

Venice is gorgeous

Tbh I don’t think I will take a better photo on my Italy trip, enjoy

Howwww has SNL not tapped Colbert to play Mike Johnson yet

This headline is just pure Oklahoma, my god

Ok FINE I am having a nice time in Italy

T shirt idea: Front - “the Pope hates AI and I do too” Back - all 42,000 words in tiny little font

*getting off the international overnight flight on which I did not sleep a wink* it’s 8am and I’m NOT TIRED it’s 8am and not 1am and also I’m NOT TIRED

There are authors so good that I'll immediately read their entire backlist, but there's actually a tier above that: Authors I love so much that I ration their books like health potions, saving them for when I really need them. Authors with one last book sitting on my shelf for years. Just in case.

Die in a fire. Absolute dogshit. I have rarely been prouder of my SM curation than when I realised Good Omens 3 had come out on telly and not one person on my TL was talking about it. Honestly mate, fuck off, you've been told.

Halfway tempted to make a real go of a side hustle selling vintage picture book art cause what do you mean this 10/10 is now hanging up in my houseee

About last night’s scrambling from gun fire at White House reporters dinner .. Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) makes a critical point on CNN: “This is happening in schools across the country.. the kids have no resources to process their trauma”

Indie bookstore day was a rousing success. We went to four stores and ended with an engorgement of breadsticks before napping the rest of the day. 10/10 will do again

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

To take a metaphorical page out of @noethematt.bsky.social’s book….. what are y’all reading this weekend?

Book 44/150: WITCHES ABROAD. This was my first Terry Pratchett book and I’m happy to report it was literally perfect. 5⭐️

Book 43/150: SMALL GAME. I think if I had not read so many Nora Roberts books where there’s some sick twisted dude watching your every move I would have enjoyed this more. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop instead of appreciating the one that was already on the (forest) floor. 3.5⭐️

Sunday afternoon read - ICARUS by K. Ancrum. Can def see why this thrilling queer art heist YA novel won the HS Sequoyah book award! Ancrum pulls you in from page one and doesn’t let go. 4⭐️

My crafting group this month was button-themed. I made these cutie little earrings and can’t wait to wear em out!

I went on #pittsky looking for Discourse about The Pitt and was instead inundated with adorable land seals in pajamas 10/10 incredible mixup

This is a verified GoFundMe for librarian Luanne James from the Rutherford County Library Alliance. gofund.me/f7704eb98 Read what happened to this hero: www.newschannel5.com/news/rutherf...

I can officially tell you exactly how much you have to weigh for a doctor to suggest your health problems are due to size! It’s happened to me for the first time! Apparently! Intermittent loss of sight! Is due to being fat!

"It's hard to boycott a writer when you grew up reading them and their work meant so much to you." No it really isn't, or I'd still be reading Neil Gaiman.

what happened to if you have time to lean you have time to clean. or does that only apply to me making $7.25/hr to sell shitty frozen yogurt and not the highly paid murder squad

>belly hurts from menstrual cramping >eat a metric fuck ton of spaghetti plus one (1) mcd Diet Coke >belly hurts from too full

Why, how do you decide what color frame to buy? (I went with orange)

You CAN do an illustrated cover that conveys “this is a book that fucks.”

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

I also got to go visit one of my favorite art museums, the philbrook
