The image shows a Kindle Paperwhite display featuring the black and grey cover of The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst. The Kindle Paperwhite is balanced in a left hand, hold in an L position. The background is a plain white wall with no color or texture. The image is not well light or social media aesthetic.

#CharlieKirk: "I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

God: “Bet.”

I have been struggling with reading, but … hopefully I’m back?! Still working on Assistant to the Villain, and dipped my toes into Magical Innkeeping … but #KJBradford releases this baby soon & I was intrigued. Black characters, fantasy elements, spice?! 👀 I’m in!!! #BlackAuthors #Booksky 📚💙
The image shows a black & grey cover of a book by KJ Bradford, titled The Perfect Unicorn. Tagline states “What happens when perfection meets sin?” The image also shows that this novella is part of a series called, “Enchanted Forest.”

An appreciation post for my MSW ride or die, @emynemmy.bsky.social on “the other social medias” that she doesn’t have. The accompanying song was Graduation by Vitamin C. ♥️
Screenshot of a Facebook post featuring this author and the stranger she met in 2023, who became one of her best friends over the course of their MSW program.

So many Americans are barely keeping their heads above water financially. Maybe covid won’t kill them, but they literally can’t afford to be sick for a week or they can’t pay rent

we need to normalize saying “i don’t know enough to speak on that”, because silence rooted in humility is wiser than noise rooted in ignorance.

CR: My Sister, The Serial Killer by #OyinkanBraithwaite (pg. 195/227).
💭: Holy. Shit. This has me in an absolute chokehold! Edge of my seat vibes! Try audiobook for correct Nigerian name pronunciation. #booksky #currentread #thrillerbooks #bookish, #bibliophile #bookworm #booklove #bookshelf #reader
The cover of “My Sister, The Serial Killer” by Oyinkan Braithwaite shows a Black woman’s face and upper shoulders. She is wearing a beige head wrap, concealing her hair pulled back into a low bun style. She is also wearing sunglasses that have a reflection image of a silhouetted hand holding a large knife, poised to stab downward. The title and author’s name are in large bright green letters.

The least you can do is support your local library.. get a card for your kids and see what services they have…that is a minimum

Grad school is basically over. My internship ends May 15th. I do have to attach appendices to my paper & submit it as a final, but … I’m done. Me & my Kindle are gonna get some *quality time* in before I start my new job. 🙌

When Joe Fucking Rogan sounds … reasonable? We’re in trouble. Holy fuck. 😬
carnage4life.bsky.social Dare Obasanjo @carnage4life.bsky.social · Apr 20
Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin — "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.”

He argues against shipping people to a prison in El Salvador without trial because we think they’re gang members.
