The perfect is the enemy of the good. I’ve been trying to organize this shelf of tools and supplies and I was procrastinating because the containers are mismatched and I wanted to make nicely printed labels that all matched nicely. Tonight I sat down and just grabbed some random stickers

My Left Unread shelves are filling up nicely! The @rainbowcrate.bsky.social edition of Cry, Voidbringer is GORGEOUS! I am deeply grateful to be a part of @michaellaborn.bsky.social efforts to fight the biases of the Tradpub industry and give us amazing stories from Black and Brown voices!

I have wanted one of this style of sewing boxes for a long time. I prefer not to buy new and get things by thrifting, so sometimes you have to have patience because it depends on availability, etc. and sometimes they are just priced out of my range.

Today a lady on threads made a “joke” about semicolon tattoos. I don’t have one, because I’m Muslim, and believe it would be haram for me, but it is still an important symbol for me and many others. This isn’t really something to joke about, and I am glad we are all still here. #semicolontattoo

Today is release day for To Ride a Rising Storm! The sequel to To Shape a Dragon’s Breath, this is an alternative history fantasy by Indigenous author Moniquill Blackgoose. The story picks up when Anequs, a young Indigenous girl has just completed her first year of schooling at the colonizer’s

We have a Discord community, Baby Got Books, which houses several different book clubs, including Diverse Historical Romance (@lostinabookbrb.bsky.social), Backlog Bookshelf (@thelefthandedkat.bsky.social), and No More Dead White Dudes (@joas-mon.bsky.social).

Please put sound on for this quick visual and audio representation of reading @niadavenport.bsky.social ‘s amazingly delicious romantasy Our Vicious Oaths! 🌶️ 🌶️

Cry, VoidBringer releases TOMORROW & today is the last day for pre-orders which are so important in helping make sure that books do well & that we are able to get more amazing reads like this! This is an action packed feminist fantasy of oppressive government and what resistance looks like! #booksky

My library hold finally came in this morning, and I know this is going to be especially useful at this moment in time. Take care of your friends, neighbors, and your wider community! 💜 #booksky #MutualAid

This is literally one of the most ridiculously immature things I’ve ever seen on a US government website. Are there any rational adults left in our government or is it being run by toddlers that missed nap time? #GovernmentShutdown #TrumpsShutdown

Watercolor work in progress, we visited Bancroft Castle recently and it is a lovely location. An excellent place for a picnic or a cosplay photo shoot, with beautiful views and interesting ruins. #BancroftCastle #Artsky #Watercolor

More mushroom doodles🙃 #MushroomCore #Cottagecore #ImTiredofThisGranpa #FDJT

BREAKING: At least 59 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn today, medical sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/kz2du2

Morning mushroom doodles! #Mushroomcore #cottagecore #artsky

A Palestinian boy in Gaza rescued his birds from under the rubble after Israeli forces destroyed Al-Ruya Tower in Gaza City.

Experimenting with different sets of paint markers for some mushroom themed bookmarks! #MushroomCore #CozyCore #Booksky

My next read is Deja Brew by Celestine Martin! I’ve got a cute bookmark to color, so I can match it to the book! #Booksky #DejaBrew #CozyReads

Conditions are expected to worsen by September, IPC global initiative says, in a ‘race against time’.

‘Deaths from starvation in Gaza may amount to war crime’, UN rights chief says - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/deaths-starvation-gaza-may-amount-war-crime-un-rights-chief-says

Leaked Israeli intelligence confirms one of the highest civilian tolls in modern conflicts.

Walking at the beach today and saw this little one’s shell. Amazing creatures even though the underside freaks me out when they are alive. #HorseshoeCrabs

I received an ARC copy of Grace Walker’s debut novel The Merge, all opinions expressed are my own. An excellent if slightly creepy premise, what would you do if you could merge your consciousness with another person & share a body? review on IG(link ⬇️) tinyurl.com/f67468nw #TheMerge #booksky

I've donated three prints of CRY, VOIDBRINGER to @novamali.bsky.social's auction for Gaza. Please consider bidding, if not for my work, but on the other talented artists that have donated their time and effort to help in the little ways we can. Head over to www.32auctions.com/novaandmali2...

I hold on to my MMPBs like lifelines, so I appreciate this post.

You know what’s super fun? When you wake up to a flooded basement because the washer’s drain hose popped out of its pipe. SO MUCH FUN! 😐😐😐 #LifeIsLife-ingAgain

I picked up my library holds today and started this one IMMEDIATELY. If you enjoyed the unhinged, unnerving, and weirdness that was Tender is the Flesh, you will most likely enjoy this too. So odd, in a fascinatingly creepy sort of way. #booksky

3 more months until the release of Cry, Voidbringer! Here's a fun little trope list and some book comps! Cry, Voidbringer releases 28 October 2025 in the US with @binderybooks.bsky.social, and 6 Nov 2025 in the UK with @solarisbooks.bsky.social. We're almost there!

There is an author trying to defend Nnedi Okorafor on Threads by harass tagging an Indigenous creator in MULTIPLE random pictures/posts about the bird that is an ill omen in many Indigenous tribes. She’s on the never read list, but looking at her work, there is a LOT of 😬 that explains her actions.

Possibly bc no one protested Nnedi’s post? One Indigenous person made a polite request and in return got a culturally insensitive response followed by Nnedi liking and laugh reacting to anti-Indigenous comments some of which contained an actual slur. People we admired can still be bigots

And I don’t even think this one was added in my original post

To publishers & authors posting book covers: Please credit the illustrator. Doing a #CoverReveal? Credit illustrator & designer. Not only does this help boost artist but it shows people that you hired a HUMAN artist. #PicturesMeanBusiness Art @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social #BookSky #BookBirthday

This is incredibly disappointing. This is exactly why I keep an open mind and a lot of flexibility on what stays on my shelves. Even people you wouldn’t expect bigotry from can be terrible sometimes. Never fangirl so hard for an author that you can’t accept new evidence/change your opinion. #booksky

How many war crimes are too many for the people that still support Israel in its genocide of Palestinians? When there are no more journalists left to report on the atrocities committed by the IOF, will that be enough war crimes for people to stop supporting this?

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

“I thought that was the end of everything. But tomorrow comes and you’re still alive [...] The sun rises for another day, and every day after that. Sometimes the mornings even look beautiful. It’s a hilariously cruel joke, like the world’s telling you what happened yesterday was all in your head.”

Post an iconic duo.

I'm not less safe as a woman because of migrants. I'm less safe because our government is in bed with a tiny but powerful clique of lunatics who think we all need cheek swabs just to piss.

We had a busy spring with family stuff and depression kind of kicked my ass so the spring season of the garden was not great. Today was a day of resetting the beds, organizing the seeds and planning the late summer/fall crops! #gardensky

A recent read that was cozy and fun! The Bookshop and the Barbarian is definitely worth reading, but especially if you are a fan of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams! A cozy story, with lots of randomness, a bit of weirdness, and a slightly odd sense of humor! #booksky #cozyfantasy

I was out by Burlington MA today and since I don’t get out that way often(or without an escort of young people that get bored easily!)I had to stop at one of my FAVORITE places, Used Book Superstore! I got five books, but there were so many more that I wanted (next time😉😂)! #booksky

Since we have short characters limits here, my full review can be read on IG/SG/GR. Basically this is one of those books that will heal all the cracks, splinters and broken bits of your heart that you didn’t even realize were there. Full review on Insta- tinyurl.com/5a9r7tue #booksky

"You're in a leftwing echo chamber" Man, I live in America. No I'm not.

A tip for my fellow indie publishers; Start keeping a spreadsheet of alt text for all the artwork and frequently used assets associated with your stuff. It will make your life so much easier when it comes time to do accessibility passes in books, websites, or when you need alt text for social media

Next thing you know we'll see novels with nonsense like calling things ungood out of fear of using the word bad and having it tagged as a negative sentiment by the algorithm. If something is extremely horrible we'll say something like double plus ungood.
