Trump is attempting to destroy federal funding for libraries. EveryLibrary made it easy to take action today! action.everylibrary.org/saveimls2025 via @everylibrary.bsky.social

Keep your trash takes about Beyoncé winning AOTY away from me and stay outta the Cowboy Carter tour ticket queue OKAY!!!!

I’m dying to the folks saying “but TTPD was the most streamed and best selling album” - this isn’t the Spotify Awards. They made sure to mention 13,000 Grammy voters so be mad at them. Cowboy Carter fans rise up!!

Beyoncé having a Cowboy Carter tour stop in DC on the Fourth of July is diabolical and I’m seated. American Requiem is gonna hit different. tour.beyonce.com

The purpose of yesterday was to frighten us to submitting in advance. I have my freedom of speech and I will use it here and everywhere else I exist online to make my voice heard. No oligarch, no president will silence me. So, be prepared for more Latinx books just as soon as my mourning ends, okay?

Yesterday trans and nonbinary people watched orders signed that say they shouldn’t exist. Undocumented immigrants are scared for themselves and their children. Educators are worried about fighting to teach the truth. They want us too scared to mobilize. We can’t give them that satisfaction.

I just went to preorder Oathbound and said “Jess….make sure you didn’t preorder it anywhere else”. Y’all I have preordered this book TWICE already. For Bloodmarked I had preordered THRICE. Someone stop me!!!

Not Mark Andrews losing them the game……damn.

I am currently reading two books at once. And getting ready to start a 3rd. My brain is so chaotic.

TikTok being gone for 12 hours with that fancy little message thanking Trump better be suspicious to you all. Especially since there was not actual enforcement of the ban. They didn’t have to go dark. This is all a ploy. Democrats making dumb choices. Trump and TT CEO think we’re stupid.

I will be a shell of myself until I get Oathbound

This is really awesome!

Virginia Tech professor and poet, Nikki Giovanni, has died at the age of 81.

Highly recommend this podcast from Code Switch “Taylor Swift and the unbearable whiteness girlhood.” It talks about who is allowed to be a girl and how the Kanye interruption helped set the stage for Taylor Swift to always be protected. open.spotify.com/episode/3yDo...

If you love dark academia, creepy fungi, hot doctors and unreliable heroines read Grave Matter by Karina Halle. I read a bunch of Karina’s romantic suspense books years ago and this has now taken over my brain and idk what to do with myself besides googling “dark fungi”. Pick up this book!

Walmart is not just ending DEI programming. They are dropping small businesses, diverse suppliers, and Pride events. They are not renewing a $100m commitment to Center for Racial Equity. The impact of this is going to be monstrous. The impact on PEOPLE - makes me sick. www.cnn.com/2024/11/25/b...

Yesterday I: - scheduled a long needed eye doctor appointment - scheduled my kids orthodontist - paid important bills So I’m taking today off 😂

This is an amazing program from Haymarket.

Goodreads. NYTs list. Audiobooks as reading. I can’t keep up sorry my brain is still on Wicked and Oh, Mary.

Get ready for me to continue to scream at you to read my favorite @berkleyromance.bsky.social books!!!! So glad to be back in the Berkley Influencer program 🥹🥹 #Booksky

Listening to the audiobook of Reel (Kennedy Ryan) as a re-read is a JOY OMG. The audio is stunning and I’m loving this reread. Bookthreads - do you reread books? When you do, is it in a different modality than the first time you read it? #Booksky

Finally reading Cebo Campbell’s Sky Full of Elephants because it’s time. A world with no white people. I’m 7% in a riveted about where Charles and Sidney’s stories will go. #Blackbooksky

Introduce yourself with: One book 📚 - Reel One movie 🎥 - Hocus Pocus 2* One album 💿 - Lemonade One TV show - Scandal

I’ve now found #blackbooksky and I know I’m in the right place. My people!!!!

My 7 year old drew this in 15 minutes and I’m over here still using stick figures 🥴. Idk how this kid came from me but he’s a prodigy okay!

Fell asleep during the fight. My thoughts: 1) the buffering…. 2) can’t believe I’m rooting for Mike but JP is actual trash 3) this is sad

I’m revealing a new cover today! More dogs. More fun. More romance in this romcom. Pugs & Kisses will be available next summer!

Dial Press - baby what do I have to do to get approved for this???? I need that slutty crop top wearing long hair flipping neck tattooed Dusty in my life STAT.

The hypocrisy of the right is outstanding.

Hi. I’m here. I’m stressed. I’m reading. CR: Jewel of the Isle by Kerry Rea and it’s making me LAUGH
