What we saw today was one of the most despicable and horrifying things from this administration so far. And follows a long string of offensive actions since they took control of the government.

I knew the Dewey guy was a racist a-hole. What I wasn’t aware of was Dorothy B Porter’s contributions to improving the system our libraries use to classify books. #Blackhistorymonth
Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜
The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.
Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

I’m loving the book and horror community here on Bluesky. So much to read coming up…
Five more 2025 books that I’ve read and can safely say will blow your horror loving minds! 2025 is going to suck in so many ways but not when it comes to reading!! @chuckwendig.bsky.social @haileypiperfights.bsky.social @sgj.bsky.social @rebelsam94.bsky.social

Many students are arriving at college unprepared to read entire books, Rose Horowitch writes. But one possible cause is a change in values, not ability.

Young people might be responding to a cultural message: Reading just isn’t that important.

The best thing about Bluesky so far is how much has been added to my ‘to be read’ and ‘to be watched’ lists. Thanks to #booksky and #horrorsky. Escapism FTW!
