Now see here, what exactly is *too many* books?
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I am virtually attending the Imani Perry and Tananarive Due event on Octavia E. Butler, and I just saw a question in the Zoom that puts Margaret Atwood on the same level as Octavia E. Butler and Ursula K. Le Guin, so resharing this in case other folx may still be unaware of how problematic she is! 💩
Seeing Margaret Atwood's face on my skyline makes me think many of you may still be unaware of her rape apologist antics regarding Steven Galloway, Canada's #MeToo, so sharing in case folx on the other side of the Turtle Island border may be lacking this crucial context: open-book.ca/Columnists/D...

This graph just gives the whole game away about how dogshite the NYT is because what the fuck do you mean that removing "D.E.I." and constantly torturing trans people is "positive" and "less conciquential"????
I think it’s interesting so many people rushed to put this in a partisan framework and it’s why I keep this chart saved.

Interested in sketching outside but worried people might talk to you? It's a pretty common fear, but the good news is that these conversations can create lovely moments of connection with strangers. I hope this recent experience I had sketching in Granada's busiest square helps reassure you:
