was just reflecting on the wildfires happening in Southern California, and the fact we've struggled with major wildfires for at least a decade or two (the woolsey fire being one of the most land destructive and long burning fires in recent history). I think we need native fire stewards taking over.

finished up a cute and short one too! #booksky #AANHPI #sapphiclove #queerlove #lgbtqia

also finished up remarkably bright creatures! reading this was way different in some ways to listening to it, but I could also hear the voice actors as I was reading so it was same in some ways! #booksky #remarkablybrightcreatures

finished banned book club but didnt post my review! #booksky #AANHPI #bannedbookclub

im rereading remarkably bright creatures by shelby van pelt and I cant help but notice Tova has a lot of neurospicy traits 🤔 does anyone else notice that? #booksky #remarkablybrightcrearures #neurodivergent #neurospicy #tovasullivan

I feel sad having to DNF books but I really didnt enjoy the writing style of this one :( it was too vague and inhuman (and maybe that was the point given the context of the book). #booksky #dnf

disturbing is the word for this book thats for sure 🥴 the women's maxim vs the men's maxim was fucked up, and the general way they were treated in the facility exacerbated the disparity. smh at the ending 😔 #booksky #theschoolforgoodmothers #AANHPI #dystopian #authoritariancps

this book shook. me. UP! I didnt know what to expect exactly, but I sure got a whole lot that I appreciate (and a whole lot that I wish had a content warning). this was a simultaneously deeply moving, haunting, grotesque, and heartwarming book. #booksky #AANHPI #afghaniauthor #thekiterunner

got the new centurversary card with los angeles public library! 😭 it's so pretty! #booksky #publiclibrary #losangelespubliclibrary

damn... i really wasnt expecting sexual violence in this book 😔 i dont know if i have the stomach for this rn. oooof. #booksky #AANHPI #thekiterunner

“Are you two talking?” “Yes.” I had to look at the wall now. Amena was still worried. “Are you fighting again or are you making up? Because it looks exactly the same from the outside.” We’re making up, ART told her.

Wow, im barely over 20 pages into Kite Runner and im in love! This quote really stuck out to me, "Children aren't coloring books. You don't get to fill them in with your favorite colors." (21) #booksky #AANHPI #Afghanistan #khaledhosseini #thekiterunner

"Loneliness is a form of narcissism." WOW. This dystopian has me fucked up! What the hell??? 😭 #booksky #dystopian #authoritarianCPS #theschoolforgoodmothers #AANHPI #jessaminechan

currently reading: all systems red by Martha Wells and the school for good mothers by Jessamine Chan 💜 #booksky #dystopian #solarpunk #marthawells #jessaminechan #AANHPI #murderbotdiaries

finally got back to reading physical books, and here's the latest on what ive finished! the book censor's library by the Kuwaiti author bothayna al-essa 💜 #booksky #dystopian #classics #Kuwaiti #AANHPI #womanauthor

damn I come back after two months and I have 300 followers? I don't remember ever having this many 😅 #booksky #stitchsky

also wanna highlight how amazing #publiclibraries can be! to date, ive saved nearly $700 dollars (and counting! im only at 36/104 books for my yearly reading challenge). #LAPL always has my back ✨️ #booksky

been out of commission after my cat had surgery and i got in a car accident that totalled my car. im slowly returning back to reading and getting my life together. im at 36/104 books this year, slightly offtrack but returning soon! #booksky #readingchallenge #yearlybookcount

felt moved asf by fireflies at el mozote w alma being a mama bear with lone survivor josé happy mother's day to all maternal people, but especially those who protect innocent young people from military and government sanctioned violence

I hate having emotions about reality; I’d much rather have them about Sanctuary Moon.

this documentary about #AmericasNextTopModel is mostly just a bunch of spineless people saying "It made sense for the time!" "That was the industry then!" and yet say they were aiming to change the industry. the delusion is WILD. and the accountability is hardly there. smh.

if yall aren't listening to wez atlas, I think youre missing out big time 💜 #music #musicsky #hiphop #japanese #wezatlas

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

I love me a scrappy dyke!

One of the best parts of the SOTU. Classic.

my cat's surgery is this upcoming week! if folks have any donations or networks to share this #GoFundMe, I'd appreciate it!! gofund.me/452994ccd #cats #catsurgery #siamese

love when democrats talk about kitchen table issues as if trans people and immigrants don’t have kitchen tables 🙃

watching the replay of #TeamUSA for #womensicehockey has me in tears. this is an absolutely crazy game!! so grateful I didnt watch this in real time lol this would have been so painful and nerve-wracking! #olympics2026

do folks have suggestions for #Black #Jewish authors? #booksky #blackauthors #jewishauthors #blackjewishauthors

We’ve moved onto the gaslighting portion of this hellish timeline.

hey all 💜 super off script from what I usually post 😅 my cat is getting an urgent surgery to amputate his leg since there's an aggressive cancer in his soft tissue. it's a very expensive surgery, and I need some community support! gofund.me/3874ae1a7 #GoFundMe #cat #surgery #cancer #donation #donate

Marsha P. Johnson said it best: "No pride for some of us, without liberation for all of us." I'm proud to be a co-sponsor of the Trans Bill of Rights. Our trans siblings deserve safety, dignity, & freedom.

It's Judy Blume's birthday. She's 88 today. Back in 2013, she said, "It’s not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers."

Just finished Golden Boy's Guide to Bipolar by Sonido (Sonora) Reyes & I've got Dirty River: A Queer Femme of Color Dreaming Her Way Home by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha as the earliest one next in my TBR! #booksky

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity. America deserves better.

Just turning yalls attention to potentially the most dominate hockey team we’ve ever assembled on the world stage going 4-0 in prelims, and no, it’s not the men’s team. LETS FUCKIN GO TEAM USA LADIES 😤🥇 LETS GET GOLD

"I guess I let the people around me help me. I allows myself to lean on my loved ones. On you, your mami, and Yamilet. And when you went to the hospital last year, I realized I needed to take care of you back. Loving you was loving myself. " #booksky #sonidoreyes #mentalhealth #bipolar

sonido is coming for my FEELINGS. "You hate yourself when you're with me. And as much as I love you, I cant love you out of hating yourself." stopppppp 😭😭 #booksky #goldenboysguidetobipolar #sonidoreyes #YA #mentalhealth

reading the follow up to lesbiana's guide to catholic school, golden boy's guide to bipolar, and this line really hit. "Hurting the people around me is the most effective way I know to sabotage myself. So no, I'm not a hypocrite. Just a coward." Sonido Reyes got me in a chokehold 😭 #booksky #bipolar

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop. Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government. This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

"Right from the start, the government had worked tirelessly to block all outlets of imagination, eliminating cognitive surplus, overturning the communications revolution, and abolishing what used to be known as the internet." #booksky

"Imagination had truly begun to shrivel and fade away, proving that if you control a human being's circumstances, you can drive their development in a certain direction..." (1/2) #booksky #bookcensorship

im reading the book censor's library by bothayna al-essa & boy is it giving Palace of Dreams. it's like you're floating around and everything in the world is just a dreamy nightmare. nothing makes sense but youre forced to believe it bc the government says so. it's so scary 😨 #booksky #censorship

so...this #StorygraphReadsTheWorld challenge is shit. People are just adding books with no care whether it actually fits the category. Thailand was a mishmosh of a bunch of Asian ethnicities, and now I'm seeing Senegal has Nigerian writers in the list. This ignorance is pissing me off. #booksky

Black history goes far beyond a single month—and at the PWHL, it's part of the game year-round. 🙌 Our Black History Celebration continues through February and beyond, recognizing the legacy, impact, and continued influence of Black athletes, leaders, and communities shaping the game..

instead of trying to add up hundreds of books at the end of the year, im going to start a #librarysavesme series where at the end of the month, I list how much I've saved reading from the library. January, I saved $347! 😅 I realized just how expensive some of the audiobooks are 😭 #booksky #library

here's my little #januarywrapup from #storygraph! I was committed to reading less in general this year, and commit to reading more prose than graphic novels/manga. I didn't win this first month, only because I had so many leftover library books that needed to be read from the prior year!

tell me why im looking through the suggestions for Thailand for #StorygraphReadsTheWorld and theres every kind of Asian in there with very few of them actually being Thai?? Taiwanese, Hmong, Singaporean-Chinese. And tell me why there are WHITE authors on the list?? make it make sense. #booksky
