To introduce myself here: I'm a fiction writer specializing in literary fantasy. I published my first novel, Sasha the Witch, this year. It's about friendship, loneliness, drinking, control, and fraught familial relationships. I also love cats, crafting, flowers, style, television and movies.

I just couldn’t read anything but a Maisie Dobbs audio last week. And now I’m faced with hard Libby choices. Have you read Artificial Wisdom, and do you recommend focusing on it in the next few days—as we are inaugurating an orange man and LA has been burning? Or moving towoard whimsy? #BookSky #💙📚

If you’re coming from TikTok, I created a Black BookTok starter pack. I created it awhile ago and needs to be updated but it’s still thorough

Managed to create a new account on desktop. I am unable to get logged off on the phone app or uninstall and reinstall. It's throwing up errors. US based accounts are still visible to those with accounts outside of the US.
This is one of the most restrictive bans I've ever seen on social media.

The practical implementation of this ban by tiktok is completely over the top. It's overcompliance to an extreme degree while praising Trump. It's clear that this is political at this point. This isn't simply an IP ban, it's an account level ban tied to accounts with registered US phone numbers.
Just tried on desktop. I was able to access the site with a VPN but once I logged in, it gave me the ban notice. I think this is specific to US based accounts and cannot be circumvented with a VPN.

It should have been like survivor. We should have been able to vote an app off the island instead of it just being TikTok.

If this wasn’t the most ominous way to learn it was gone—a German TikToker warning Americans about 1933, fascism, and media while seeing this TikTok splash—seemed too on the nose. #TikTok #BookTok #Ban #LightsOut #BookSky

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.
