This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

I am reading a book called Wonder. I am reading it because my 11 year old grandson is reading it and we can now talk about it together. Share the kids books of today.

Yes you saw what you saw. Yes I saw it too

Fuck this bullshit.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: “What Trump said is he wants the federal government to take a 50% stake in Tiktok. That means he gets to run Tiktok. Well, Don. Jr gets to run Twitter. Once again, you're seeing the Trump administration try assiduously… to have state run, state controlled media.”

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

We have literally come to point where we are discussing how to preserve books from the government. If you have any grandfathers left that fought in WW2, ask them what they think about that.

As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community: The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies. I know, Kindle users, it sucks—but your digital copy can be deleted any time.

Just so we’re clear: 1. Audiobooks count 2. Reading is political 3. The orange man is a piece of 💩 Thanks for stopping by 💃

Petition to scream my face off and eat French fries all day like the angriest little seagull there ever was

Looking for cool indie book stores in the Inland Empire or north county SD- any suggestions? #indiebookshop #inlandempire

With TikTok, meta, corporate media, and Twitter controlled by Trump, I feel like we’re throwing sticks at a tank.

Today and in the coming days, remember

One thing before tomorrow: Use your local libraries. Get your card. Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks. Recommend titles for purchase (usually online). Attend promoted activities. Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires. Tell your kids that libraries are good. They are. 📚

This was our first click ap post. Feels right that’s it’s our first Bluesky video post. It’s been 4 years, one move and thousands of books since this video. We are excited for more!

“What’s your reading goal?” 𝙏𝙤 𝙚𝙣𝙟𝙤𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙨 𝙄 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙. This year I didn’t set up a reading goal. I didn’t love the social pressure and comparisons. The feeling of having to rush to get onto your next read. I’m just seeing where the year takes me! So far it has been amazing! 💙📚 #Booksky #Booktok

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school. Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.

Question for my small biz friends: IG is where most traction for my biz comes from, follower base is super local and tuned into what we are doing, making it hard to give up. What do you all plan to move to as we divest ourselves of all things meta? #booksky #smallbusiness #bookstore
