Have you seen this yet? I saved a copy since they’ve been taking it down everywhere.

Any baseball fans here?

Currently Reading for Sept:

“Allegedly” by Tiffany D. Jackson.

It’s day 3 and I’m devouring this book. Shout out to public libraries and Libby, both for the access and the recommendation!

I used to pick flowers when I was younger until my brother (correctly) scolded me about being the tragedy of the commons in real time and it has haunted me ever since.

Take only pictures, y’all. 🌹🥀

Focusing on my favorite children’s book this week because idk if I can take any more political news atm.

This book “Ferdinand the Fox’s First Summer” is one of my favorites, primarily bc he looks just like my pup (that I lost in March).

But as nonfiction children’s books go, this is a gem.

Was swapping out books at a nearby LFL and found one of my old-new favorites: @freelibrary.bsky.social

“Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha” by Tara Brach, PhD

I gotta shout this from the rooftops:

We👏must👏protect👏the👏USPS👏at👏all👏costs👏

Which, consequently, is a really reasonable cost.

I just sent 34 lbs. of children’s books to multiple domestic locations for $1.15/lb (got some cute manatee stamps too), all tax-free.

That’s easily $100+ at FedEx/UPS.

Here’s a pic of the top 100 titles under attack from book bans. I pulled it from the @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social

You can specifically request libraries carry these books via request forms and comment cards. Idk their bsky handle but United Against Book Bans has a lot more info & does great work.

I will forever* stan Chewy.

When our senior dog passed (rapidly/unexpectedly) after our auto-order of meds & food, the rep we placed the refund request with sent us flowers and a card. Like actual flowers and a personal note. It’s still on our fridge.

* just please don’t become fascists pleaseee

My favorite part of military service is definitely the convenience factor.

Congratulations to these hard-working, earnest patriots.

If this isn’t peak #LeopardsAteMyFace, idk what is.

“Hell, we’re human beings.” Wish she felt that way *before* she spent all her time on bigoted #trumptrain #MAGAt tirades.

It’s giving “The only moral govt assistance is my govt assistance.”

Just a little @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social plug. I’m always so jazzed when I go back and find all the books gone because it means they’ve found a home.
