It feels weird to talk about your own books now, so I've barely done it, but I wrote a classic whodunnit that also features our long American fascination with Eugenics and race in law (the Nazis LOVED OUR LAWS and BORROWED THEM) and is ANTI FASCIST.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

I really really hope Luigi is found innocent. I hope that no one is ever convicted of this crime despite whatever evidence stacks up because no jury will convict someone for this. Using the broken justice system for good, because it continues to fail to hold the right people accountable #abolition

If you ever find yourself thinking “it’s too late!” Just know that you are once again falling for propaganda and Suzanne collins would be disappointed in you.

Solidarity with all trans brothers and sisters today. That your future is yours is cold comfort when the state has you targeted but for whatever it’s worth we stand with you
the reason they are going to ban care for trans kids is because they want to kill trans kids. that is not a bug it is a feature

I genuinely do not understand the vitriol regarding the statement "audiobooks count as reading." Your brain is still processing language, story, and themes. You’re just multitasking while crushing your TBR. Efficiency and literacy win.

"Listening to audiobooks isn't actually reading" is such a pointless argument. It hurts people (by diminishing their hobby or their efforts to learn) and helps no one except people who want to feel superior. #booksky

This past election cycle, a lot of people didn't vote because they didn't think their vote mattered. Your voice always matters. If it didn't, people wouldn't work so hard to take it away.

Unlike last week, tomorrow a simple majority in the House could pass the “nonprofit killer” bill, placing all NGOs that campaign for human rights in jeopardy. We need each of our US followers to contact their congressperson and tell them VOTE “NO” ON HR 9495!
