I love & respect me some @sarahkendzior.bsky.social‼️ The one book I’ve read was outstanding & so is her heart. She’s a treasure & so are her written works. BTW, she ain’t stupid, @safety.bsky.app & neither am I.

Access to reading wasn't always as easy as it is today. Photos from the Library's Prints and Photographs Division illustrate how libraries on wheels used to get books to rural readers. https://blogs.loc.gov/picturethis/2025/09/books-on-the-move-bookmobiles-mobile-libraries-and-more/?loclr=blsky

With the Epstein emails at a new fever pitch, please read @sarahkendzior.bsky.social’s 2022 “They Knew” (as well as her prolific other writings) — it is a window into the past about things that seem only to be “discovered” now. Strongly recommend, I owe a lot to her thinking/writing.

I think the reason romantasy is dwarfing sales of fantasy & sci-fi is that it's a subset of romance.

And romance is the biggest, most profitable category in literature.

Romantasy allowed romance readers, who read very widely, to take cross-genre romance mainstream & it's reaping the rewards.

The White House has put out an "article" asking why Democrats don't talk about Jeffrey Epstein's connections to Bill Clinton, Katie Couric, and others, and the obvious answer is "Because they're not the fucking president of the United States, you vile fucks." www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Refugees have often smuggled valuables so that they aren’t completely destitute on arrival at their destination. Sewing coins or jewelry into clothing as a nest egg for starting a new life. This is deliberate impoverishment followed by complaints about dependence on state resources.

theres a whole bunch of cultures that don't do rings to mark marriage but do do necklaces for the purpose, so do only Christians get to keep wedding jewelry or
Ministers now appear to be confirming in broadcast interviews that they would audit and could confiscate assets (including jewellery) excepting wedding rings from the jewellery that they could confiscate.

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

Hi, it's me again. I'm reposting this today because a whole lot of people who saw this yesterday told me they appreciated it.

Know this: I believe in you. If you need permission to have some quiet space for yourself, here it is. <3
Hi. It's me. I'm here to gently ask if you've been giving yourself grace? Patience? Self-care?

You've got this. You are enough, and you deserve all the good things.

Wolf 1331F thrived in Yellowstone. Outside the park, she faced a deadly reality: hunters and no protections. Thousands of Northern Rockies wolves face the same fate, often unnoticed. Their stories deserve to be told, and all wolves deserve protection no matter where they roam.
