A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

Science discarded, The art of critical thinking flayed, Fools weave their insubstantial dreams, Brittle, and as smooth as new ICE, Ever eager to please the Orange waste on the throne, Demanding only the dullness of unremarkable subservience.

Pizza rolls hit different when cooked in the oven. You know, the “classic” way as the bag says.

Give this a trip down the ole ear canal. You won’t be sorry! Damn this song is rad. That’s an old Gen X term for you kiddos. Also, Randy Blythe is everything. #metalhead

Part 1/5 Another great reason to keep AI out of writing, is preserving the role and job of translators. I have clauses in my contracts that prevent AI from being used if my books are translated. So this edition of Meet the Reader features Hiie, my translator for the Estonian edition of Betty!

I can get behind this. Books make a great Father’s day gift! #booksky💙📚

My dog Ziggy has the same look we all have. The “what the hell are the Phillies doing” look. Man they’ve been tough to watch recently.

As always, a beautiful speech from Carl "Man in His Arrogance" by Carl Sagan

How is it that our “Secretary of Education” doesn’t know who Ruby Bridges is or what the Tulsa Race Massacre was? Astounding that these are the same asshats who want to dictate what kids are taught and gut our system.

Anyone else tired? I’m talking a specific tired. Not physically. But just done with all the BS in the world? Were we blissfully ignorant before the internet connected us all? I simply can’t wrap my head around all the hate in the world today. And the hypocrisy is astounding.

I just finished book 2 Of Blood and Bone, A Time of Blood by @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social Moving to A Time of Courage immediately! I can’t get enough of this Banished Lands epic saga. Started with Faithful and Fallen, now finishing Of Blood and Bone. Will there be more, Mr. Gwynne?! #booksky📚💙

My March reading wrap up and first post to Skylight Social! Loving this platform and the fact it shares content with Bluesky via AT protocol. You’re onto something here! #booksky

#BookSky These days i'm suffering from Readingsomnia Sagas have that effect on me

Amen

So sad that I have to make sure this comes from verified Onion to know it’s satire. Even then, it’s highly believable.

I am Billie Jean King has made the list of 2024’s Most Banned Children’s Books. So remember: Throughout history, if you're banning books, you'll eventually be revealed as the bad guy in the story. #bookstagram #bannedbooks #lgbtqia

Continuing my intentional reading for Black History month with King Leopold’s Ghost. Words can’t describe how disgusting and greedy this man was. The way he (and the rest of the world outside of Africa) swindled the people of the Congo is beyond comprehension. So gross. #booksky

6 books read so far this month: The Bluest Eye - Toni Morrison House of Frank - Kay Synclaire The Reformatory - Tananarive Due The Nickel Boys - Colson Whitehead Kindred - Octavia Butler Razorblade Tears - SA Cosby Highly recommend all of the above! ☝🏼 #booksky #BlackHistory

Finished Razorblade Tears, 6th book of intentional reading for Black History month. Halfway thru and it’s one of my best ever reading months ever in terms of quality. Eager to continue reading stories by Black authors and Black history. We can be better if we choose to learn more. #booksky

Currently reading Razorblade Tears by SA Cosby and I can’t put this book down! This amazing author is on my auto buy list for sure. What a wild ride! @blacktopkid.bsky.social #booksky

Finished The Nickel Boys by @colsonwhitehead.com. INCREDIBLE story, gripping, heartbreaking, and couldn’t put it down. Will definitely read the nonfiction references on Dozier School pointed out in the acknowledgments. Highly recommend. #booksky

Just finished The Reformatory by @tananarivedue.bsky.social. I’m shook. The story was gripping, heartbreaking, and I’m craving to learn more. It’s a peek into horrible Jim Crow era reform schools. Historical fiction. Great read. Plan on learning more and further reading on the subject. #booksky

Currently reading The Reformatory by Tananarive Due. Gripping, heartbreaking historical fiction that makes me want to apologize to all Black people treated poorly throughout this country’s history. How any human can treat a fellow human in these ways, especially a child, hurts my soul. #booksky

I believe!

Self checkout at the grocery store is the closest I can come up with.

I read House of Frank by Kay Synclaire and it healed me in ways I didn’t know I needed. If you lost someone close to you (I lost my brother unexpectedly) this book will hit different. Even if you didn’t, it’s a great story about a witch losing her sister and how she finds love and family. #booksky
