Have you checked out my page on @bookshop.org? Lots of recs for #KidLit & for adult #Books, or search for something completely different to buy—you’ll help out a former brick-n-mortar indie 📕shop owner who is struggling financially right now. 🙏
If you buy from this page (even using the Search bar to find and buy a book I didn't list), I will get a small commission split with the general Bookshop fund for indies all over the country. Not gonna lie, every little bit helps. I've been looking for full-time work for over a year!

He’s a talk show host , not a journalist, but I was hoping Colbert would ask Sen. Warren about the faction of old guard Dems resisting the leading with affordability wave. For a second there, after discussing Mamdani, I really thought he was going to.

I’ll be hosting a workshop on building structure into your middle-grade novel on November 29!
Structure will help you give agents and publishers what they’re looking for while giving you the freedom to write the story you want to write.

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.
ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.
We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:
“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.
But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:

North Carolina GOP Is Cracking Down on the Black Sheriffs Who Stood Up to ICE
Boosted by new supermajorities, Republicans are closing in on legislation to mandate more collaboration with ICE and preempt local policies hard-won by immigrants’ rights advocates.
