Beca and I did an experiment and apparently if you mute a word, but the word is in the alt text of the image, but not the actual post it is also muted!

This is great information to know!
This worked out really well! I didn't get a notification at all. At the bottom of the post I saw "show hidden replies" then I click on it and it stops me again and tells me why it's hidden from me and one more click gives me the photo! Thank you so much Dani!

•I like when I finish a book I feel like I've accomplished something (I'm a huuuge checking boxes off list person)
•I like exploring new things/ideas
•LOVE when books connect (Like Melville's Benito Cereno being foundational to Ellison's Invisible Man)

@ #Booksky 💙📚 who else excitedly thinks "new year, new reading goals" and starts organizing/prepping 2 months ahead of time...
Seems like an excellent challenge for me in 2025 💙📚

BTW since a lot of people have arrived recently, I wanted to make sure everyone knows about two AWESOME FEATURES that would have been great on twitter:

1) if someone quotes a post of yours to be a jerk, you can detach your post from theirs! It vanishes & they can do nothing about it. It feels good.

Because I came here for the #books, let's make cabinet picks based on literary characters. Wrong answers only, since nothing can top our next AG or HHS leads in "real" life.

I don't mind cracked spines, but if I loan you a book and you dog ear the pages I'm going to wish the lego gremlin will drop pieces in your path to step on in the deep dark of night

Absolutely love StoryGraph.
Been using it to organize my reads for just over a year and it's far superior to goodreads IMO
Highly recommend 💙📚👀
Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️

The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion.
When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!
