Just here to urge everyone who hasn't already to read The Serviceberry. Oh my gosh it was short, so sweet, and a fantastic image of what blending community and care for nature can look like.🍓🐦 #booksky 💙📚

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Finally going home after a week of traveling to see everyone for Christmas. So happy to finally crash on my own couch 😴

When is a good time to crash out over grad school admission decisions? Asking for a friend who hasn't heard back yet 🫠

I am simply not meant to work 40 hours a week. I am meant to sit at home with a warm drink and a good book and my small dog.

With the rising interest in physical media, be sure to check your local library out for DVDs, CDs, books, and more. It helps us keep those programs going and offers you a chance to use physical media without buying it all outright! #booksky 📚💙

For those who were invested, I found a modular notebook. I got a voyager notebook from my local bookstore. It's sold out from the publisher online right now, but here's the link! Eagerly awaiting the planner inserts. #booksky 📚💙

Does anyone have any refillable journal/notebook recs? Looking for something with inserts that won't cost me an arm and a leg.

Apparently I have an EPIC problem.

Thanks, Spotify.

This is going to be a devastating blow to the sciences and the crisis we're already seeing in research, education, and advancement.
When history marks the point where we lost the future to China, this will be it.

Review: Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez
Rating: 5⭐️
Reading Method: 🎧
This made me sick to my stomach. Du Mez does an amazing job tracing the threads of the evangelical to alt right pipeline through history, presenting how we got where we are in the US. #booksky 💙📚

Review: The Cult of Trump by Steven Hassan
Rating: 5⭐️
Reading Method: 🎧
Written by a former Moonie and Cult Expert, Hassan puts Trump's first presidency under the lens of cults and manipulation tactics. Excellent analysis. #booksky 📚💙

I love T. Kingfisher's fairy-tale style of storytelling. This was dark and rich in lore. Chef's kiss! #booksky 📚💙

I'm still on IG (I know, I know), but nothing makes me angrier than seeing all of the stupid target ads/influencers and people gushing in the comments and breaking boycotts. New pet peeve unlocked.
