Hello! My name is Brooke, and I opened a bookstore in Greater Cincinnati last year! I own & run the 1300 sq ft store, & I'm excited to join #BookSky!

Just hosted the creators of Taco Goat Cheese Pizza at the bookstore, too. It was so fun to learn behind the scenes of developing a viral game like that

I'm also a history nerd w/ an BA & MA in history. If you're looking for solid historical context & commentary, I can't recommend @hcrichardson.bsky.social's Substack enough
Just the right balance of scholarly critique + depressive realism + hopeful action items

I'm a history professor interested in the contrast between image and reality in American politics. I believe in American democracy, despite its frequent failures.

Our first “Feminist” book club is tonight; it’s an outgrowth of a Blue Bracelet meetup, turned @redwineblueusa.bsky.social local group. Each month the group is meeting up twice: once for action-based meetings and once for a community bookclub

Another thought I’m thinking thru: how can I share things online (“create content”) of ideas/things our family does that may mimic the MAHA movement. So many friends, aquantiances are n this crunchy camp, but there’s got to be ways to encourage them to think more critically.

Things I’m thinking through/planning on implementing (at some level):
- No Buy Year (or, attempting to thrift first)
- Canceling Amazon Prime (member since 2008 & massively used in our family; have to weigh this with the mental load it’d carry)

- Joined League of Women Voters in my very conservative county (annual membership dues were quite minimal)
