One easy way to support a banned book: Tell the world you're reading it! If you share on social media include a link to somewhere people can get it. Word of mouth is a powerful way to draw attention to books & that takes readers like you shouting about the books you love!

Reading my first ever ARC!! “Thief of Night” by @hollyblack.bsky.social I’m SO excited. 😁 #booksky #booksky💙📚

Attempting to reread “Book of Night” by Holly Black, but library holds keep coming in!

So I finished 3 books since my last update. I think I mentioned one, but the other two were: “The Spirit’s Curse” by RK Ashwick and “The Devils” by Joe Abercrombie

I hope generative AI users realize they're disappointing Mr. Rogers 🥺😭

Books with Black/brown characters and LGBTQ+ characters are getting banned because banning books is the first step towards banning people. Contact your local library and school board and tell them you support the freedom to read, for everyone.

Republicans just voted to RAISE Americans’ health care costs. @ossoff.senate.gov led Democrats in fighting to stop premiums from spiking and bring down costs for working families. But Republicans said NO — they just want to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Democrats just forced a vote to cut every part of this bill that would hurt rural hospitals. It's a no-brainer — but Republicans voted NO and shut it down. Republicans are FORCING hospitals to cut their services and close their doors to fund giant handouts for billionaires.

YES AND stop getting any information from ChatGPT or any other "AI" because pretty much all of it is inaccurate.

I said what I said No to AI in libraries #alaac25 www.probiblio.nl/matthew-noe-...

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, or Marvel

Currently reading: “Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil” by VE Schwab (FINALLY) Also I finished “Midnight in Chernobyl” by Adam Higginbotham but forgot to add it. #booksky #booksky💙📚

Hey everyone, just a reminder: A little more than a week ago, a Republican terrorist killed two people and injured two more in an effort to kill enough democrats to capture the Minnesota Legislature

It's 1991, I'm 4 years old watching the US start a war in the Middle East. It's 2001, I'm 14 watching the US start a war in the Middle East. It's 2003, I'm 16 watching the US start a war in the Middle East. It's 2025, I'm 38 goddamn years old watching the US start a war in the Middle East.

Answer to every legal question right now:

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

It’s been a rough couple of weeks, friends. Hug your pets tight. ❤️

Vance joining here to get people to say legally actionable things at him is the most obvious fucking trap of all time people come on

this is going to be an unpopular take but this is 1000000000% bait, this is 1000000000% vance intentionally driving far right traffic to this website, this is 1000000000% implicit brigading (surely to Musk's great joy), and therefore you should 1000000000% not take the aforementioned incoming bait

Miller's statement indicates that they are setting the stage to declare martial law - A Project 2025 playbook step If Trump declares martial law - state law is suspended & military can set laws & enforce them An authoritarian move and will tip us over into a crisis #DefendDemocracy

It’s been A Week, so I’ve forgotten to update recently read: “Good Dirt” by Charmaine Wilkerson “Problematic Summer Romance” by Ali Hazelwood “Leia: Princess of Alderaan” by Claudia Gray #booksky #booksky💙📚

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

again all of this stuff is resignation-level for literally everyone involved www.notus.org/health-scien...

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes. You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that. Please share as well.

The man on the left wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine *last week* that pregnancy is a one of the medical conditions that increases the risk of severe covid and thereby warrants vaccination. Covid infection is linked to miscarriages. MAHA is a cult. www.statnews.com/2025/05/27/c...

Pregnancy is a major risk factor for severe COVID-19 outcomes (read: death). GOP, if you want women to have more babies, how about making it easier for women to do that without dying?

Today RFK and co. removed the COVID vaccine from the CDC's recommended immunization schedule for children and pregnant people. This is junk science. COVID puts children and pregnant people at higher risk for ER visits and hospitalizations, and Long COVID can cause chronic health issues for anyone.

Aside from the fact that anyone can get seriously ill from COVID, a key point they are deliberately hiding when removing access is that COVID vaccines reduce transmission. People choose to get vaccinated to protect other people. It is wrong and harmful to take that choice away.

Just finished reading “Great Big Beautiful Life” by Emily Henry #booksky #booksky💙📚

Science & medicine is ALL about identifying root causes. It’s literally the foundation of biomedical research. It’s how we’ve discovered what causes disease: acute & chronic, infectious & non-communicable. Read about REAL root cause medicine Immunologic: news.immunologic.org/p/real-root-...

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

ATTENTION: Buried in this bill is a provision that forbids federal judges from challenging the Trump administration with citations. This is the END of the concept of checks and balances in America. Trump will be a full blown dictator with nothing stopping him.

I need cis people to understand that if this bill passes, thousands of trans people will die. That's not hyperbole. That's not sensationalism. That's fact. You know the genocide of trans people in the United States you refuse to acknowledge? It's here.

please, cis friends, call yr senators. this is very very important. 11th hr stuff

It's cruel. It's an incredible escalation of their anti-trans culture war. And there is still a chance to stop the provision in the Senate, so if you have a trans person in your life you care about, I implore you - make your voice heard with your Senators. Both of them. Republican OR Democrat.

Under its new leadership — who spread misinformation throughout the pandemic — the FDA announced it will limit all Covid vaccines to adults over 65 and those with certain medical conditions. Covid continues to spread and cause harm. This an anti-science move that will kill more Americans.

BREAKING: FDA says covid boosters now only for those over 65 or with preconditions. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

“you should have a choice” means “we get to choose for you”

This intentionally adds confusion where it’s not needed. For those who want to know, Here’s the CDC’s list of conditions that increase a person’s risk of *severe* covid, which notably includes asthma, depression, physical inactivity, and current or recent pregnancy among many others.

You do NOT have to accept this! Post on the public comments to pressure them to NOT do this! www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

The number of Americans who will die as a direct result of the numerous idiocracy grenades from this Trump administration is absolutely mind-blowing. From tornadoes in Missouri and Kentucky to measles in Texas, weakening EPA water regs and now eliminating voluntary vaccine boosters.

If you don’t want to take the booster don’t. But to prevent adults from having the choice is depraved.

She’s being charged with being a Black Woman. She’s being charged with being a Black Woman, speaking up. A Black Woman acting out. A Black Woman swinging back. She’s being charged with integrity, courage and dignity by a coward.
