Friends, I'm still vetting adds. Thanks for your patience. Also, my pinned post is gone for some reason unknown to me. But please don't add me thinking I want your crypto opportunity or DM. I don't. Blocking me because you tried anyway w/out a response is a you problem. I'm not here for that.

Days 8-10 of #WomenReads on #BookSky are together because I 💙 this trilogy so much. I love historical fiction & she really did her homework here. I enjoyed the story and how much I learned from it. 📚

Cutting food and healthcare for every day people & keep giving more to ICE. A lot of people have been out protesting ICE & that's great. What can you do? Glad you asked. More to come in my next comment. 🧵 #FiscalYear2026HomelandSecurityAppropriationsBill

Day 6 of #WomenReads is one of those books you see recommended by book clubs, so you have certain ideas & write it off in your mind. But I 💙 how it's written, & it's based on memories & accounts from the Tennessee Children’s Home Society operated by Georgia Tann from the 1920s to 1950. 📚 #BookSky

Day 5 of the #WomenReads challenge is SE Hinton. If you haven't heard of Outsiders, where have you been? If you are Gen X, you may not have even noticed she was a woman. Joanne was hardly the first to come up with it. It's a book, it's a movie. Stay gold. 💙📚 #BookSky

Man, I am so behind on the #WomenReads challenge right now. I hadn't even realized what day I was on. Four days ago. But here's a holiday banger you might not know about for my day 4: 📚 💙I do recommend it as part of your holiday rotation.

Today is the anniversary. Trump caused it. He relished it. He pardoned or commuted the sentences of everyone involved. He even gave millions of dollars to the family of a traitor who died while breaking the law and calling for more deaths. Never forget.
🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did. 🚨🚨🚨

For day 3 of the #WomenReads challenge, I'm going to offend a whole bunch of people again & suggest this one. I have spoken about systemic racism here a lot & have tried pointing out things like how much harder it is statistically for black businesses to get loans, etc. & people get offended. 🧵1

This makes me sad but I appreciate him putting the wellbeing of MN politics ahead of personal ambition. He’s a good man and we need more like him in politics.
JUST IN: Gov. Tim Walz has ended his reelection campaign for governor. He was three months into a campaign that has been plagued by criticism over his handling of fraud and political opposition stirred up by President Trump.

For day 2 of the #WomenReads challenge, I'm taking it way back. I was very young when I read this, but it may be where I got my love of goats & mountains. It's a feel-good children's classic, but if you haven't yet read it, it's not too late. Probably. 💙📚

I'll bite. Today's book is one I just finished. First book of the year. Katabasis by RF Kuang. It's not as bloated as I'd heard. I thought it was written in an interesting way and I enjoyed some of the asides in there. A solid rec if you're into fantasy fiction. 💙📚 #WomenReads #BookChallenge

I read well over 30 books this year. Some were great and some were okay and there will always be some that are so completely unforgettable I have to read t/synopsis to jog my memory. Here are my big standout recommendations in no particular order: 🧵📚#booksky

Let’s be clear- she did worse than nothing by trying to cover it all up. She has her job because she was willing to make this go away for Shitler and she’s willing to use red flag laws against gun owners who don’t support him.
