First book of the new year. I love books where I learn some history and sociology. There's a great story, and there's a happy ending. www.goodreads.com/book/show/33... 💙📚 🗨️💙📚

Does anyone know how to find which books from this year's book flood list have been translated to English? I've been reading quite a lot of Icelandic books this year, and I'd like to branch out a bit to new authors. 📚💙 www.icelandair.com/blog/jolabok...

Wasn't a bad movie, really. A bit quiet and slow to start off, but it builds. "...gloomy-eyed J.B. never tells us what he's after, but we sense that he's one of those quiet men who feel trapped in middle-class life and are prepared to chew off their paw to escape it." share.google/V0Kj0oM7qpTO...

A fungus photo a day: I found these Ossicaulis yesterday on some small pieces of rotting wood, so I could pick them up to photograph (and then put them carefully back). The delicate details on these tiny guys… More photos below. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

💙📚 💬📚 My favorite recent book is a Canadian/Métis/indigenous werewolf/Rogarou mystery/supernatural/thriller. if you're interested in indigenous history and folklore it's informative in a fun way. It's thrilling & a bit scary. A cracking good story. www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/600423...

I can't wait. The movie can't possibly be as good as the audiobook narrated by Ray Porter, but I still can't wait to see it. 🪨🪨🪨 #BookSkyChat #MovieSky 💙📚 Source: YouTube search.app/oTdct

I'm glad they're thinking about making The Stand into a movie. I didn't watch the TV adaptation after I heard they changed the scenes about Vegas into a "city of sin" kind of setting, instead of a repressive religious place. The story was good as it is. comicbook.com/movies/news/... #MovieSky 💙📚

#BookSkyChat Yeah 🫥

If you’ve never seen one before, this is a strawberry finch.

I think I'd risk my life for a book like All Boys Aren’t Blue by George M. Johnson, Flamer by Mike Curato, or Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe, but I haven't read them yet I've read them, and I'd fight for Fun Home, Are You There God, It's Me Margaret, The Diary of a Young Girl, and Handmaid's Tale 💙📚

Great book. Funny. Insightful. I liked the married couple a lot. Nice twist in the story. "It only took her forty-six years to accept who she actually is, and not some version of herself she thought she should be." 💙📚 #ColleenOakley www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/653763...

Lesson learned. Do not stop for bagels in downtown Minneapolis unless I find a parking spot on the street. I paid $8 for 20 minutes of parking in a public garage. Good bagels, but not that good. 🥯 #minneapolis

I see some discourse about ditching the former Twitter, and so I'll remind folks that the best reason to there is that it's a fucking Nazi bar and we all deserve better. I'm on social media to enjoy conversation with cool folks. Bluesky does a bang-up job of that. The former Twitter doesn't.

My last four movies. I got to see a sneak screening of Life of Chuck. Highly recommended. #LastFourWatched #MovieSky #FilmSky

"Joy in the face of oblivion was the whole point" I got to see Life of Chuck last night as the Secret Movie at my local theater. I highly recommend it. It starts with a dystopian future & goes backwards. There's a real sense of hope in it somehow. #MovieSky 💙📚 www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

This is Bodie. He’s here to celebrate the start of Pride Month. Been working on this pose for weeks. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

Friends, don't be this person. Everything is terrible, and we need to enjoy what we can, when we can, so that we aren't too emotionally and physically exhausted to show up and fight against the fascists. Allowing space for entertainment doesn't mean we care less about the horrors.

Good reading in May 🌼 My favorites are This Cursed House by Del Sandeen & The Monsters We Defy by Leslye Penelope that are on a list of books recommended for people who like the new Sinners movie. 🖤 Woodworking is amazing--fun, good story & informative. 🏳️‍🌈 &Jason Pargin's new book 5⭐ #BookSky 💙📚

You just know he's going to blow it all on squeaky toys & catnip.

I love Peter David's Mackenzie Calhoun books. Mac has purple eyes. 💜👁️💜 ST novels were an antidote for me for the Harlequin novels my family read like popcorn. Star Trek women are generals and security officers, and basically whatever they want to be. I still read ST novels for relaxation. 💙📚

My favorite comic as a child. I wish my mom hadn't given away my collection in junior high. Maybe I could have been the queen of the in crowd. 👑 I'm pretty sure that Bunny, Richie Rich, Betty & Veronica, Casper and Wendy the Good Little Witch helped me become the voracious reader I am now. 💙📚

Trying this tonight for my chronic insomnia.

@chronicillness.bsky.social Yeah. What?

one of the rarest moments to witness when monitoring bird nests is the moment a chick fledges from its nest - it's all over before you know it, and you gotta be super lucky to record it. Here's the adorable exact moment a superb parrot chick makes the leap into the unknown 😭💚💚👋

I have always enjoyed Star Trek novels.

Now please bring it out everywhere in IMAX, or at least Minneapolis, so I can see it in greater detail, especially the dance scene. 🖤

Met a sweet-faced coyote up toward the top of Powell Butte Nature Park today. Very nonchalant.

This book is a mystery combined with a road trip, and ideas are chucked in all over the place to get you thinking, but not -force- you to think. A fast read where things are learned and fun is had. Two thumbs up. 👍👍 #BookSky 💙📚 static.macmillan.com/static/smp/s...

Indeed 🤍

Maybe someday I will be able to watch all of Andor, but that day will not be this year. I can read sad stuff, but watching it is too much like watching the news. I loved Rogue One. Watching the buildup to Rogue One is too much for me. 💔

Like a particularly gauzy but evocative children's picture book illustration (ALT: a slightly fuzzy red lighthouse in the middle distance of a lake-and-sky scene in mild blues and grays)

👻💀5* A ghost story with gothic elements, black southern historical fiction (1963), and a good mystery thrown in. The setting is near New Orleans with an extended family of free people of color. The pacing is a little slow in parts, but builds momentum. 💙📚 www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/729727...

I didn't know bunnies stretched like this. Those teeth look sharp. 🐰

This cat really speaks to me. I think it's saying, "Try the Mofong chips. You can give me the pork rinds." 🐖

A quote from The Night Guest rings true for me, of course her ultimate diagnosis was a bit creepier than I'd want. 💙📚 #ChronicIllness "It’s not that I was hoping I was sick. Except maybe I was just hoping for… something. Not ALS—never ALS—and not myasthenia gravis. But maybe something innocent...

I didn't want to read this book. I thought it would be too serious. Like Abigail, I prefer to cut through all of the shit and get to the point. At least in books, in real life I'm totally Minnesota nice. This is a good story, not a lecture. It has realistic characters and humor. 5⭐'s #BookSky 💙📚

We need them, but what we have are the words they left us. Still good words.
