Really enjoying this series and had the rare joy of book 3 becoming immediately available from the library right as I was finishing book 2!

Over 6,000 calls and emails have come from nerdfighteria in the last 30 hours as our community fights to save PEPFAR and other global health funding from devastating US Government cuts. Really proud to be a nerdfighter today.

From a colleague. Keep calling! It’s working!!!

“We’re hearing that because enough moderate Republicans in the House are telling Speaker Johnson they’re against PEPFAR cuts, the White House is going to amend the package. The pressure is working!!“
The House is voting on the rescissions package THIS THURSDAY.

Congress is considering devastating cuts to global health funding, including to PEPFAR and ‪@unicef.org

I've been truly enjoying reading Rivers Solomon. Just the perfect blend of weird, fantastical, genre defying and questioning of gender/social structures.

Feel free to join me as I keep working through their books through a StoryGraph Challenge!

HAPPY PRIDE! People often ask us what they can do to help, so here’s a short list. Truly, though — any support is extremely appreciated! You can still be helpful even if you can’t afford to donate by helping to spread the word about us and our fundraiser <3

One of my favorite libraries is participating in project 4 awesome and could use your support! They are keeping queer literature available for people across the states in an online space. A worthwhile organization in these trying times.

I always try to get my books from local libraries and then book stores. But occasionally both don't have what I'm looking for and then Thrift Books comes in handy!
Hey #Booksky if you’re in the US and looking to step away from the zon for physical books can I highly recommend Thrift Books?

They donate and partner with non-profits to support school libraries in underserved areas, and prison libraries. Plus, the book prices are *very good*
