Back to judging the weather based on whether by coconut oil is solid

i assume banning kids from social media will be accompanied by a huge investment in teen-friendly communtiy spaces (like youth clubs) and social activities? No? Huh.

This is SO incredibly important! Imagine the world of pain we could have avoided if this had been in place before Please do this now - takes seconds and could change everything! Thank you x

So what we really need is autonomy. We need to say goodbye to the parental stand-in and discover our strength. Take up space. Set boundaries. Be vocal. For the possessed this is essential.

Hear ye! Hear ye!! A girl is pleased to announce that HULU has picked up the option for our beloved Blessings series. Our writer, the very talented Sonay Hoffman will now begin creating the pilot's script. More details to come.

When yearning is written like this ‘yearningggggg’ you know it’s about to be good

My paperback of Score by Kennedy Ryan just arrived. 🤗🥳 It’s my most anticipated read of the year.

We keep hearing folks rejecting the warning bells about the trans genocide, saying “it’s not like there’s gas chambers & ovens”. Aside from the reality that the Holocaust didn’t start w/ gas chambers & ovens, this comes from an ignorant understanding of what a genocide is. Let’s talk about it. 1/15

Can’t believe that’s the last Outlander episode. I’m going to miss the characters.

Huge Green victory in my area 💚

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

This actually gave me the feeling of insignificance that people say they have when they look up at the sky/stars.

Why not buy something for the kids this easter and help an indie bookshop keep going? Highly recommend this one by @athenakugblenu.bsky.social with art by Nicole Miles. #KidLitUK #Booksky afroribooks.co.uk/products/his...

Regardless of how you feel about Royal honours, etc Selina Brown and the Black British Book Festival deserve recognition. And bookshops like Afrori supports authors who will appear at this festival and more. It will help to inspire kids like Selina Brown was inspired. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I will take this challenge on.

Great selection of Sci-fi and Fantasy books by Black authors... I always recommend checking out SFF which isn't writen by White Men, you'll experience such interesting takes and subverted tropes. It's healthy to broaden your horizons.

Just ordered 1 for me and 2 for kiddo :)

Diversity enriches our perspectives. Telling the stories of our communities, reading the tales from another's. #Reading #Books #BlackCulture #BlackExperience #African #AfroCaribbean #Authors #Bookshop #England

No report in the Guardian about a woman MP being attacked on International Women’s Day by transphobic fascists after just a week in the job. They have these “news” items though

I just bought ballet tickets for the first time and then this Timothee Chalamet thing happens 😆

I’ve come to realize people think slurs are just words that hurt our feelings. No. Slurs, particularly the N-word, F-word, antisemitic terms etc. aren’t taboo because of that. It’s because historically when these terms are said they precede or pair with pitchforks, torches, lynchings & gas chambers.

He needs a fake girlfriend to avoid his family’s holiday matchmaking. This pretend romance won’t change their friendship...right? Read Zach & Jo's story, A Fake Girlfriend for Chinese New Year, in ebook, paperback, or audio! jackielaubooks.com/books/a-fake...

The thing about ebooks as a substitute is that it ignores two major needs of teen readers: autonomy (the ability to get a book without going through parents) and community (the ability to pass a book around to all their friends.)
