I don’t know what I’m doing…
Pinned
Just as a heads up….like the bio says, I don’t know what I’m doing here really. Just vibing for now.

I lean neurospicy so starting books & finishing books are two separate activities for me 🫠

I’d love to be able to post & review books consistently, but that’s unlikely 🤓

Going to a seminar about bats at the local library tomorrow and I’m getting a new library card. Libraries are amazing places and need our support now, more than ever! Look up the schedule of your local one, you might find something really fun to attend!

“Barring AP journalists... because of the news agency’s editorial decisions is an affront to the First Amendment and a free press,” said PEN America's Tim Richardson. “It is retribution, plain & simple, & a shameful attempt to bully the press into ideological compliance.” (gift link) wapo.st/4jRK2VQ
The Associated Press says reporter was barred from White House event
The wire service said the decision stemmed from a style guidance to continue using the name Gulf of Mexico instead of Gulf of America.

Listen, they can keep lying about USAID, but gutting the program is hurting the American Ag sector.

That is the point though. Destroy American Ag to make way for other authoritarian countries to take over the market.

I feel like I’ve seen barely any discourse about this bill they are trying to pass in Oklahoma making romance novels that don’t fade to black a FELONY to publish, sell, or own. But s3xting your legal spouse will still be ok 👍🏼

I used to think that Dragon People were just former or current Horse People but now I think there's maybe more of a Cat Person --> Dragon Person pipeline.

Just received an email at the college I work for about ICE on campus.

Basically say, no thanks, I’m not authorized to speak to you. Let me get the administrator.

Per legal: ICE administrative warrants to NOT have same enforcement authority as a judicial arrest warrant, so you don’t have to (1/2)

And the Libby by Overdrive app too!!! (my personal fave 😉)

Libraries NEED your support just as much as your fave local #IndieBoosktore because libraries guarantee that EVERYONE, regardless of money, gets access to education/information/books/knowledge & more

Go RIGHT NOW and get a library card if you don’t have one. Discover what your local library offers and shout from the rooftops how wonderful it all is!

If you believe that:
1) Reading is critical to our democracy.
2) Books help us understand complex issues.
3) Parents shouldn’t make decisions for other parents’ children.
4) Youth deserve to see themselves in books.
