It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Whatever happens, never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So always make time to share books with kids, and help them find books to love. Make reading central to everything you do. It will change their lives forever!

Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books.

👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

Friendly reminder that if you buy a book on Kindle, you're only paying for the rights to read, not own. If a book truly gets banned, it will be taken away from digital platforms like Kindle, nook, etc. Consider getting physical copies of banned (or other) books!

Hello #TikTok pandemic preparedness diaspora! I have been trying to find and add everyone in the community that I’ve come across to this list.

You can click it, view the users and follow your friends—I am going to be working on potentially creating “starter packs” where you can simply “follow all”

Most men in romance novels respect boundaries, wash their balls, make sure she comes first, care about their children, are emotionally intelligent, and loyal to their relationship.

And then men make fun of women reading "fluff novels."

Because apparently those are unreasonable things to yearn for?

On days where it feels like everything is too much
You are not strange or abnormal

What is strange or abnormal is denying yourself the compassion that you would give so freely to others

Be kind to yourself

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617:
Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel.
Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

Libraries, man 🥹

Please don’t be upset with the library workers if/when they run out of masks. They’re doing their best just like you. Ask how you can help them as they help you ✨

Thank you libraries, thank you firefighters, thank you first responders, thank you helpers 💚

I took some more photos of poor Pepper today. He is so sweet and loving and gentle but nobody has wanted to adopt him just because he looks a little bit scrungly. 😢 Please share with anyone you know in northern Vermont who might be interested! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...
