The Quiet Damage by Jesselyn Cook is such a compassionate take on how conspiracy theories can destroy the people we love and how important community is #booksky

If I am eating a vegetable this week, so should you.

A tender read on this solstice and a reminder to tell your friends you love them! Tell them often! #booksky

I took a neighbor shopping for a winter coat. I am not saying this to brag. I am saying this to show we all have a small part to play in keeping each other safe and warm. She is coming over to bake Christmas cookies tomorrow. This is how we build community. It doesn’t have to be expensive or big.

I love Minnesota so much and we are better for our diversity.

Reflections on this year. I am so proud of the community I have built. Thanks for being part of it 💙💙💙

I always decide my book goal in December. I am at 235/250 #booksky

Reading problems I have: only having 15 holds for Libby #booksky

I am surrounded by people who would are doing the work on every level. I am proud to be part of that. I am never going to regret the work I am doing and not staying quiet about what I know to be right.

@laurensandler.bsky.social I give less than 9% of the books I read 5 ⭐️ this book is must read for politicos. Sandler follows one woman as she goes through the nyc system to get housing. I will be screaming about this book forever & that is why it gets 5⭐️ & changed how I see the 🌍 #booksky

Your workers rights and compensation is bc of these women. Such a good book #booksky

How many books were in my car? So glad you asked. 50. I cleaned out my car. I have so many books to read #booksky

I am doubling down on community. I will grocery shop if you are afraid to leave your house. I can’t pay for the groceries, but I can shop. I have a Costco membership. I am showing up in every way I can.

I am driving folks to school, work, and appointments. People are scared. But in my car, we are feeling a little joy. We are playing music and building community. I am not going to let them take our joy. We can hold multiple truths and feelings.

17 degrees feels warm when it was -14 for a few days. I have a new lease on the weather.

I hate that republicans voted for this and I am not going to forgive them for this. Ask god, not me.

I am scared to go outside without purpose and I am a citizen. I don’t care how people got here. Let them stay. I don’t want racists here. I want them in a volcano. Ice is not welcome here nor anywhere.

Being brown is stressful right now. Every tinted suv and truck scares me. Every single one. Am I next?

Sugar cookie Rice Krispie bars #baker

There is a right side of history and if you support ice, you are trash.

I am always reading and getting smarter #booktok thank you @hclib.bsky.social

Puzzle and audiobook? Do not disturb #booksky

We all need to read books by @laurabates.bsky.social We must demand better from tech companies and our government. #booksky #bookrec

Packed at Easy Day Cafe for future Senator @peggyflanagan.bsky.social Unlike crypto Angie Craig who voted for the Laiken Riley Act and to thank 🧊, Peggy supports immigrants.

I walked to my car in a sweater and didn’t realize it was 4 degrees out. This is why we acclimatize. I also got an iced coffee. I am unstoppable.

Every man needs to read this book. Every single man. #booksky

I may not be able to control much, but I going to spread cheer by baking cookies and giving them to the people I care about. This is a sample of what I have.

well,,,, you know what they say.... when you have professional news that relies on word of mouth and leveraging your reputation in order to generate livable income, you should always release that news after 9:00 p.m. on a Friday night www.danielsuitor.com

Why don’t I age rapidly? Me at 17 versus me at 33. Aging is a privilege & I love the gap in my teeth (sorry mom & dad), my smile lines, long hair, and curves. Welcome to the world Nat, take it on.

Do you support ICE kidnapping our residents here in Minneapolis? All I’ve seen you do is vote for the Laken Riley Act and strip away due process from immigrants. You didn’t stick up for Minnesotans. In fact, your vote is impacting our Somali and immigrant communities heavily.

Why can’t Libby give me a wrapped? Like here is how many minutes you spent reading? Oh wait, @thestorygraph.com does and I still have time to read!

Yesterday I turned 33 and let it be known that I am an unrepentant book slut who loves dogs.

I don’t care if the angel tree videos are for clout. It is taking care of kids in the community. I will watch every video with a smile. Use that influence for good.

Winston wants to be in my skin. He doesn’t complain about my audiobook choices either, so he is great.

Sometimes it is good to remind yourself what you love about yourself. You are worthy of self love 💙💙💙 Let me look at this on a bad day when I need this.

Always be reading on a snowy Saturday night #booksky

This is worth the read. Understanding the experiences of others, especially now, is crucial #booksky

Cities are fascinating to me. I have so many special interests. If you find yourself under this arch in St. Louis, you may find the history more complex & violent. American expansion didn’t come peacefully. It was violent & we must recognize it #booksky

Grateful for books and the joy they bring me. One day I will write books the love letter they deserve. Tonight, I appreciate books and the authors who write them #booksky

Black Elk was a Lakota chief who fought along side Crazy Horse. This is his story. Indigenous stories should be read all year, but especially today #booksky

Today I am grateful for the community I have built this year. We are not fighting alone and there is so much good in the world. We will get a better society.

A snowy morning read #booksky

Are 🧊 agents proud of themselves? Are they going to thanksgiving grateful they tortured people? Are they grateful to uphold a dictatorship? Bc they are not welcomed at my table.

Tw: sa The Secret History of the Rape Kit a True Crime Story by Pagan Kennedy is a must read. It is short but important reminder of how far we still have to go in helping survivors of sa #booksky #bookrec #nonfiction

My goal is to get everyone to hate Robert Moses.

apologies for no alt text - i am very exhausted and don’t have the bandwitdth at the moment 🧵 i was looking through my texts after the listening session last week and came across my texts with richard regarding some issues i had with planning ward 6 caucuses and convention. below are those texts+

I am rewatching Lizzie McGuire and it is still so great.

And who am I going to debrief with? I am a yapper.

Reminder, it is not normal to call for the execution of your political rivals. Stop normalizing it. It got our leaders killed. Every single leader must condemn this rhetoric. It leads to death. This is not an overreaction.
