Happening TODAY at 3 PM EDT! There's still time to sign up to attend my conversation with author @clareharlow.bsky.social! 💙📚 #booksky

Seems like a great idea for a company to make location sharing a thing on a social media app where women and minorities get death and rape threats. How could that possibly go wrong or get out of hand.

The 2025 longlist for The Diverse Book Awards was just announced. Take a look at the fantastic books that made the cut! @simonjamesgreen.bsky.social @saimamir.bsky.social @anikahussainwrites.bsky.social @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social 💙📚 #booksky #blacksky #childrenbooks #yabooks

Canceled my Paramount Plus, just canceled AMC Plus, and next year, HBO Max will end... When it comes to the protection of public media, we have to roll up our sleeves and do the work ourselves

So much sadness and rage...when you keep seeing the continue erosion of education and learning, it makes you want to give up but now I'm just empowered to keep fighting 💪🏾

Get in the "Summerween" spirits with these new and upcoming spooky reads! 🎃👻 #blacksky #booksky 💙📚

So my daughter is the face of a nationwide Congressional PSA on teenage mental health that launched today. She was chosen based on her advocacy stemming from our @imagecomics.com comic, A HAUNTED GIRL (co-created by her, me, & @marcolorenzana.bsky.social)! sacks-appeal.beehiiv.com/p/from-a-hau...

Two days late, but wanted to share pics from the @sangumandanna book signing at @bnunionsqnyc. I've been a fan of Mandanna for a while now, and it has been wonderful to meet her in person. And she said she might use my name in a book, so we'll see. 😊 💙📚 #booksky

So sad 😢

"If we push in the right spots... the the future becomes fluid, and change is possible. History isn't a premade tapestry that we've got to suffer, a closed world with no exit. We can form it. Make it. We just have to choose to make it." —Babel by RF Kuang

Our latest episode has dropped! For this episode, the gang talks fandom and franchises: our favorites, series we want more of, series we can do without, and series we’d like to see made. Funny enough, we don’t argue about Star Wars, not once! open.spotify.com/episode/4Pj0... #podcasts

ICYMI: Our tense political environment – despite the gains made over the past decade – has meant that representation of LGBTQ+ voices, and true visibility, is shrinking, says ‪@mofanning.co.uk‬ 👇 #BookSky

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5⁠ This is a treat for fans of Austen and also for readers who are looking to know more about the beloved author. With such an intimate look into Jane's life and including references to adaptations of her work, this was such a delightful treat to celebrate Austen 250. 💙📚 #booksky

"but we are in a moment of great transformation in journalism" You mean you've slashed your actual staff as much as possible and outsource writing meaning you have little editorial oversight of what's being published under your own masthead. Embarrassing.

Not that we need more evidence of the dangers of relying on AI, but also, here's more evidence of why you need to support local libraries and local bookstores because an actual human librarian/Bookseller could have come up with better book recommendations... 💙📚 #booksky

It sucks when publishers say they support libraries and love what they do, but then pull crap like this. Ebook licenses are getting harder and harder for libraries to purchase and having an affordable option like @comicsplus.bsky.social makes comics more accessible. 1/2 #comicsky 💙📚
