When some people get feelings they drink, eat, post stupid online, start drama with their friends or partners… Why do that then you can take it out on your hair?

Look who has the @nypl.bsky.social Book of the Day? @natcassidy.bsky.social !

the cuyahoga county library system made me a reader, and it is one of the best library systems in the country. this would be devastating.

Plus Suzanne Young, @katchowrites.bsky.social , Renee Ahdieh, and @rachelharrison.bsky.social What's your pick?

The @nytimes.com asked me to write about the 20th anniversary (??!) of Twilight, and to recommend some books that have published since then that Twilight folks might love. Oh, this was SO FUN.

I made a free printable bookmark you can use for any banned books week (or before or after!) displays, books, etc., that gives people *action items* for defending the right to read. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

This fills my heart that the essay touched someone at the station enough to reach out and ask them to share how horror connects them. I hope their joy reaches others. Thanks Paul and Emma!
