Just when I thought I couldn't admire the man more... 🎯 🎯 🎯 💯 💯 💯 👍 👍 👍

This is creeping dread, haunting fear. It’s the knock on your door during a roundup of those deemed different. History howls its brutal lessons through the centuries. We’re not listening again. #Booksky #books #TheTrumpYears #poetry

April was super busy IRL and I didn’t read as much as I hoped. Blood Orange as a re-read, this time in audio, was so good. Got in some good non-fiction too! #booksky 📚💙 #romantasy

Happening right now!! 🔥🏛️ Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are staging a sit-in on the Capitol steps ✊ to protest Trump’s proposed budget cuts — including attacks on Medicaid — and defend democracy! 📢 Livestreaming here: www.youtube.com/live/5ceR90l...

So excited for this upcoming book from @authorkarinahalle.bsky.social I love her writing and this has so many of my favorite things! #booksky 📚💙 #paranormalromance

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

March was a light reading month but a really good one! What was everyone’s favorite March reads? Have you read any of these? #booksky #readingrecap #romantasy 📚💙

When Women Were Dragons is a fiery reminder that sometimes the only way to take up space is to transform and burn brighter. This is fun and relevant with just the right amount of escapism. #booksky #feminist 📚💙

In February I read some meaningful, important and some fun books. Did you like any of these? What others would you recommend?

Yup.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

I need more people talking about that they added parts from One More Day into the epilogue Watch 'em run amuck Catch 'em as they fall Never know your luck When there's a free for all Here's a little 'dip' There a little 'touch' Most of them are goners So they won't miss much youtu.be/pIQh_5dZUwI

Claiming the save act is anything other than an attack on women is gaslighting. #saveact #womensrights

This book is off to a good start. A poignant epigraph and then chapter one starts with this gem “She didn’t think things could get any worse, then she saw the sign. Welcome to Florida, it read. The Sunshine State.” - Grady Hendrix, Witchcraft for Wayward Girls #booksky #currentread

I spent my whole life listening to cis straight men talk about their dicks. It's about time they get jump scared by women talking about smutty romantasy books in crude detail on TikTok.

This Will Be Fun 📚 4.5⭐️ Cozy fantasy can sometimes be hard for me to get into but this book engaged me from the start. It was funny and light while still finding meaning and moving the story. I really liked this one. #booksky

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

My grandmother’s family was murdered in the chambers of Auschwitz. She survived and told me never let it get that far. Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear of the Nazis or the holocaust will happen again.

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show. But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

I am sad because I love ACOTAR but I’m also relieved because I love ACOTAR. Outlander (TV) is amazing but it is not the same as the book and I’m not prepared for that to happen to the Maasverse just yet. Let’s see how it goes with Fourth Wing.

Proudly at level 9. Working towards level 10 📚

This was a quick 5⭐️ read 📚💙 that is relevant to everyone. The audiobook is under 2 hours. When exactly was the “again” in the president’s slogan “Make America great again”? Hint: It is the same “again” that we find in “Never again.” #booksky #nonfiction

Perhaps one of the most refreshing things about romantasy is its inclusiveness. Love for the genre “is across the board,” Hoeg says—women, men, queer and nonbinary people all stop by the shelves. She’s confident that romantasy is here to stay. #books #reading #PDX www.wweek.com/culture/2025...

sigh, I want to spend my days looking at nature, walking in the woods, gardening, writing poems, drawing pictures, reading books, and cooking. And I want to spend my nights dancing, singing, and laughing. None of this bullshit. 😭 Why did humans invent a modern lifestyle that doesn't include living?

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

Remember if someone had the confidence to say with their whole chest that they’re gonna call Greenland the Red White and Blueland, you can finish writing your book #booksky #writingmotivation

If only there was a way to have seen this all coming.

Experiment In Terror ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This series was a roller coaster for me. The horror was always really solid but the character behavior didn’t always click. It ended strongly and I felt satisfied with the ending. If you like Supernatural but wished it had romance, this is for you. #booksky📚💙

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

A refreshing piece of news this morning. #blackhistorymonth

I have said this one to myself more than a few times.

Oops 😬

They're gonna committee us right into fascism.

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

FYI all of the viral images government spending that “DOGE HAS UNCOVERED” is actually from www.usaspending.gov a website that Obama signed into law in 2014 that has always been accessible to the public.

2 insurrections, same President.
