This might be an unpopular opinion, but if your dog doesn't have perfect recall you have no business taking them off leash in a public space. It doesn't matter how friendly they are, other dogs and other humans might not be.

Make no mistake:
Alligator Alcatraz IS a concentration camp, and they absolutely ARE planning genocide and ‘ethnic cleansing.’
As a white person, i don’t know what I can do to help, but if all I have is my voice, I will make sure it’s heard.

Just a reminder not to re-share any AI "art," even if it's funny or contains a message you agree with. You can find things you'll like that were made by real human beings ❤️

Friendly reminder to support your local independent bookstore this weekend!
A slightly less friendly reminder to just not buy books from Am*zon at all.

Question for the #writingcommunity especially any #litagents or folks with #amquerying experience: how many rejections should I receive before I need to revisit my query package and/or re-edit my manuscript?

The cuts to IMLS will affect every library system in the nation. Use the 5Calls app script to call in support of library services! @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social @penamerica.bsky.social @everylibrary.bsky.social

Just a reminder that if you love libraries, you should call and write to your reps to protect their funding!
National Library Week hits different during this time of turmoil and uncertainty.
Thankfully, libraries continue to bring together knowledge, reader connections, community, lifelong learning- you name it. ☺️
This year, it feels especially meaningful.
📚 Happy National Library Week! 📚

Four years out of college and I somehow have more stress dreams about not finding a seat in the cafeteria or forgetting a class now than I did then.

I'm sorry to all my friends who are not part of the writing community, that you have to hear about my book again and again whenever I decide to participate in a pitch event. But not sorry enough to stop 😬

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

17-yr-old Emmie has the coolest job ever at the indie bookstore with her crush, but when a patron dies during her mom’s book signing, all eyes are turned towards her. She needs to get her life back & not get killed in the process. #PopUpPitA #LuckyPit
