If reading about authors’ political beliefs hurts your feelings try to imagine what it’s like reading legislation that completely and utterly dehumanizes you and denies you equal rights. Just a thought.

Fascinating that Gus Walz, who’s neurodivergent, was decimated and criticized by the right for being emotional and showing pride by clapping for his father but Elon Musk is excused for doing a naz! salute because he’s neurodivergent

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

I can’t go on TikTok, but when I open insta or threads everyone is like “don’t use meta apps!” But then I go to Bluesky and it’s not my usual bookish people so I’m like 🧍🏼‍♀️

Reminder for anyone who sees Trump as a savior: He lobbied to have tiktok banned in the first place, and now he’s positioning himself as the hero by unbanning it. It’s theatrics.

Just so we’re clear, Trump started the legislation to ban TikTok when he was in office, but it didn’t get through the senate or house until Biden’s presidency—Biden signed it into law—then SCOTUS upheld that law.

Trump gets to slide into office to “save” what he, in the first place, sought to ban.

I could be writing but I’m looking at engagement poses for future book cover ideas instead

If I’m going to do anything it’s make a birth chart for my main characters before I start writing ♏️

Every time someone decides to claim that a 6yo picked up Icebreaker by mistake, thinking it was a MG children's book, your favorite author loses their will to live.

This shit is urban legend at this point. "My friend's, cousin's 6yo..."

IS THE 6YO IN THE ROOM WITH US?

Last year I saved $1,772 by using resources like the library, Hoopla, and other free programs for my reading. This year I’ve finished 4 books and spent $0 and I’m excited to see how much I save this year! Visit your local library!

Reminding myself that the drop in page reads is normal becuase the holidays are over and everyone stopped reading holiday novellas (it’s not working very well)

You meet these two in A Thousand Sunsets, and they had a few brief interactions 🤭

only four more days left until I say “this year I’m determined to get a video EVERY DAY for my @1secondeveryday.bsky.social” and then immediately forget (yes even with notification reminders that didn’t work this year)

Ran into Santa last night and he confirmed that yes, audiobooks are a valid form of reading, and anyone who thinks otherwise is on the naughty list.🎅🏼🎄
