I’ll be at Decatur Public Library for a local launch of THE WEDDING WEEK this Saturday at 3pm. Please do join me as I chat with author Shelly Anand!

Got this book from the library and Russell has loved it. There is a recipe in the book and he has been asking to make it. Bought all the ingredients and its been cooking all day. He keeps running into the kitchen and asking if it's ready yet😂 First time making it, hope its good! Smells amazing tbh

This thriller was so good.... 5 stars #booksky @aishasaeed.bsky.social www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I’m still figuring out what the better medium to connect on social is. Do some of you maintain active presence’s on this site as well as Threads?

What is your small joy today?

New post! If you’re in Dallas come say hi next Saturday! If you’re in Atlanta come say hi this Saturday! Also, secret book info! aishasaeed.substack.com/p/hafsas-way...

Day. Made. ❤️🥹

Yikes. Thread…. It’s definitely something I had noticed when I first read the piece.

I’m not sure I could reread this book when I live inside it.

What’s your small joy today?

Coco Jones, loving the dress and the red green and black along the sleeve. 🇵🇸

HAFSA’S WAY is out next month!! Available for preorder wherever you get your books!

What’s your one small joy today?

What’s your one small joy today? Because wow do we need to hold on to and soak in all that is good that we can.

Doing a social media analysis (for lack of a better word)— curious if you’re using this site exclusively to connect or both here Threads as well. Seeking to find my bookish community. It’s been really quiet here but I might be doing it wrong.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

ICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.

Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

“None of what I’m doing is enough. But all of it, I reassure myself, is better than nothing. The most heartening thing about this deeply disturbing moment is seeing how consistently and forcefully Minnesotans of all demographics have been pushing back.”

hi all! i am working on little anti-ICE kits to be handed out for free at the bookstore that include info on how to protest, rights info cards in english and spanish, a zine that includes regional-specific contact info, and whistles. is there anything else y'all would find useful in such a kit?

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

Do you like books? Do you like books that are $1.99? OF COURSE YOU DO!! You should buy @aishasaeed.bsky.social ‘s book THE MATCHMAKER today!! www.amazon.com/Matchmaker-N...

Not on socials much. But I guess today I feel like yelling into the void. It’s really hard. Both domestic and abroad. And what is happening in Gaza. It sits lodged like a stone in my throat every day. Volunteering. Giving. None of it feels like enough. No reflective conclusion. Just sad.

Keep spreading the word: Don't rank Cuomo.

Cuomo PAC darkens skin of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in new mailer to NYC voters.

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's attorneys urgently ask Judge Farbiarz to order ICE to permit Khalil to hold his newborn son today "for the most elementary human reasons." ICE has so far denied the request, despite his wife and child having made the 1,500-mile trip. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Pope makes an appeal to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and to bring an end to the hostilities:

Evil

How is this real life… (I know how. But. Sigh)

Framing is everything. Framing is the story.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

More of this please

Banning books is not about books. Banning books is about the erasure of stories. Banning books is about the erasure of identities. Erasure is the precursor to eliminationism. Silence is complicity. Resist this regime. Resist this regime of monstrous evildoers.

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

this is the way! NO KINGS IN BOSTON!

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

Any Democratic politician who doesn't understand Nayib Bukele's grave offense against the sovereignty of the American people and constitutional order and say as much publicly should have no future in elected office. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bukel...

🚨🚨

The framing from legacy media on the Ms Rachel stuff is insane. Nowhere do they say that these are baseless claims, or that what she said (every child's life is precious and worthy) is not "Hamas propaganda." If u didn't know the background to this story and saw this post, you'd believe their smear
