Mexico’s overwintering monarch population grew 64% this winter, with butterflies covering their largest area of forest since 2018. The recovery remains fragile, but suggests there’s been a positive impact from conservation efforts in the butterflies’ core habitat. buff.ly/XoPKQ9d #ShareGoodNewsToo

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

The first book in C.J. Archer’s new series is on sale for $5 for the ebook at Bookshop, Apple & elsewhere. “Laws of Witchcraft” is a spinoff, but you don’t need to read the main series. It’s a quest for a rare book with the need to solve the mystery of the kidnapping of magicians. 🪐💙 📚 #booksky

The blue lab opal earrings are stunning. #shopsmall #jewelry

Enjoyed this story by @stephanieburgis.bsky.social Read it for free the Sunday Transport 🪐💙 📚 #booksky “Instead her mouth fell open as the griffin cocked its eagle-head, staring back at her with open curiosity”

Dad joke incoming.

Strong agree. I also side-eye a fantasy novel that doesn’t have a map.

I’m impressed with this design and love the meanings.

Love this.

I highly recommend putting this NASA #Artemis II mission livestream on and just leaving it playing as you go about your weekend. Live views of the spacecraft, occasional visualizations of the current config, views of the control room, space-ground radio audio. www.youtube.com/live/m3kR2KK...

What a nice presentation of the instruments and their classical sounds. #music #museums

I really love following the Artemis II mission.

Love my Kobo. It's lightweight and the adjustable backlighting makes things really easy on the eyes. Definitely easy to use with my library card for Overdrive integration. I haven't used the plus or audiobook subscriptions, but I appreciate that those are available. #booksky wapo.st/4dSYeNG

It's honestly kind of mind-blowing that this is the first time in over fifty years that anybody has been able to take a picture like this. Images of the earth are completely familiar to us, but a human hasn't pointed a camera at the whole planet for half a century.

These incredible corals form what may be one of the world’s largest reef systems—and researchers have a plan to restore it

I can’t go. Everyone who can, should!

HASTINGS: I say, Poirot, this vial’s labeled “hyaluronic acid”! Is it a poison? SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: Non, mon ami. This acid, it replenishes the skin’s barrier naturale HASTINGS: So this is a gal who takes care of her skin. SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: *irritated* The gentleman may use it as well

SURPRISE! I released not one but TWO short cosy fantasy stories about an anxious bean apprentice wizard and dees mentors, the cinnamon roll and the glam giant who hasn't met a neon colour he doesn't like. 1: dovelynnwriter.itch.io/archmage-app... 2: dovelynnwriter.itch.io/archmage-app...

This is very exciting! Love Le Guin and lots of these fantasy authors. #booksky

Incredible footage from a United Airlines flight of the Artemis II launch.

Love this. What a capture.

This is a fantastic deal for those in the UK. I love the energy of this book: “I will defend him against all those who would harm him. Only I am allowed to harm him!” #booksky

Really lovely and eerie.

Also me

Aaand the Artemis II crew is officially in space!! First up post-launch is @nadiadrake.bsky.social's excellent preview of the 10-day mission: www.scientificamerican.com/article/nasa...

science and engineering are cool, actually

Next up in my TBR is, fittingly, Rebecca Boyle’s deep dive into “Our Moon.” #booksky

Watching and hoping for a safe launch. #artemis www.scientificamerican.com/article/nasa...

Wish this were real.

With these socks I wanted to celebrate all the diamonds present in my life, the people, the experiences and the environments that foster a sense of joy and gratitude, particularly in difficult times. The socks are free to download on 1 April, SAST, with code ChooseJoy 💎 More info in comments #knit

Amazing. I salute your April Fools fun.

The cherry blossoms are out.

These are so cute!

For the first time ever, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will stream the two opening songs of the Springsteen & E Street Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour kickoff in Minneapolis — live and free at approximately 7:30 p.m. CT tonight!

Sparkling with a lovely amber brooch and amber ring from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social and a multistone ring from Garcia Cristina. Perhaps this Eye of Sauron will find the One Ring at my office.

Using up my gift links on the last day of the month. Some vegetarian #recipes for spring. #cooking wapo.st/4sIOpGV wapo.st/4s3u39U

If you woke up in the world of your favorite fantasy series, what would you do—or where would you go first? ⚔️ Everyone say happy book birthday to THIS KINGDOM WILL NOT KILL ME by @ilonaandrews.bsky.social! 🍰✨ bit.ly/4djQpk3

Libro.fm preorder of Ilona Andrews’ “This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me” has downloaded! Very excited to start their tale of Maggie the Undying’s adventures. 🪐💙📚 #booksky

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics in 2023, she received hundreds of invitations and requests. She accepted just three. One of them was advising the WNBA players union as the women prepared to negotiate a new labor deal with the league.

Gorgeous #jewelry here. #shopsmall

Dreaming of lovely vacations. #travel wapo.st/4bVzGBj

I also love her audiobook narration of the Marple books. Joan Hickson just embodies Jane Marple so well.

Tons of extremely cool stuff went up tonight over the course of about four hours, with four members of the team staffing it. Maybe check the shop out and thank you so much!

These seem interesting #dance “When Harris and his brilliant longtime sound designer, Darrin Ross, grant the withheld pleasure of a beat drop, the dancers get down with evangelical force.”
