Tim Walz: "I want Minnesotans to hear this from me. The desire to get out and protest and to speak up to this administration of how wrong this is -- that is a patriotic duty at this point in time. But it needs to be done safely."

One of the reasons our country is in the state it's in is because reading is not being actively encouraged and sought out 💙📚 #booksky #blacksky

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela? 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

A great article written by @nadinematheson.com that is must read for everyone, especially with everything going on in #Venezuela.

Happy New Year, everyone! I can't speak for everyone, but I am glad to see the backside of 2025. 2025 was a particularly challenging year for me, ranging from a life-changing medical diagnosis to massive surgery to a death in the family. 💙📚 #booksky #blacksky

Every year, I am always so jealous of people who get to see the New Year's firework display in London, because every year it's always mind-blowing to watch! 🎉🥳

Imagine explaining to the galactic federation during Earth’s application that we picked white as the colour of the year and chose a bunch of techbro scammers as person of the year. All whilst burning up all our resources for meme junkware masquerading as AI.

Most of us are in a rush for 2025 to end, but before we close out this tumultuous year, let us try to aim on a high note, particularly with a few highlighted book releases! 💙📚 #booksky #blacksky @zakiyanjamal.bsky.social @wordsiren.bsky.social cupofteawiththatbookplease.com/2025/12/02/b...
