Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her

I didn’t even know Beyoncé had a new album. Truthfully, I thought she kinda fell off. I didn’t watch the Grammys myself, but I’m surprised Billie didn’t win.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT CRASH OUT.
Folks are relying on you to be overstimulated, overwhelmed, & overcome so you won't resist.
Take breaks,
Take a breath,
Be intentional with how you spend your time.
Be effective with how you spend your energy.
Support each other
Rest, live, & fight another day.

What kinds of things do y’all include when annotating books? I’m pretty new to the hobby, and I wanted some ideas.

The secret to getting over writer jealousy is realizing you're not in a competition with your peers. You're in a trauma bond! Wheeee!

BOOM! Bishop Mariann Budde has responded to her critics who told her to apologize to Donald Trump.
“I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.”
Smash that repost if you agree she owes Trump ZERO apologies!! 🦋

Black YA fantasy book rec of the day
Magic users in Orisha are oppressed by a ruthless king. One teenage girl sets out on a quest to defy the regime and restore magic to her people, no matter the odds.
A tale of resistance inspired by West African mythology & Yoruba culture.

I’ve seen a lot of folks who write book reviews on Good Reads (for fun?) and it seems like something I could get into as a hobby. Especially if reading is going to be my escapism for the next four years👀…
I just started reading Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto. I’m excited to continue. 💜

One thing before tomorrow:
Use your local libraries.
Get your card.
Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.
Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).
Attend promoted activities.
Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.
Tell your kids that libraries are good.
They are.

My writers! I have a question: when you’re writing something that has multiple chapters/parts, do you separate them in one doc or do you make a bunch of docs for each chapter? I’m curious.

In a year that feels like things are too big to do anything about, I am making it my personal goal to focus each day on what I *can* do.
I can hug my kids.
I can read a book.
I can give to those who need it.
I can exercise my body.
I can follow my natural curiosity.
I can tell stories.
I can love.

one major improvement i've seen in the world over the course of my lifetime is the emergence of lightly-salted sweets. i just swung by a bakery to pick up a chocolate chip cookie and it had the slightest flaking of kosher salt on it. that shit went crazy. i think we're doing great in that department
