Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways

All this in New Orleans... What a moment

Hello, I've officially moved the Content Scrapers blocklist to its own dedicated account.

The old list will stay for the time being, but you'll need to manually re-subscribe to the new list if you want to stay up to date with the latest additions to the blocklist.

With the mass influx into Bluesky, a lot of imposter accounts are being followed. If you own your own website domain, you can make it your @ handle.

Instructions below.

(nb: your [name].bsky.social handle will be available so make sure you have that squatted, too)

Using a domain as your handle helps with account identity, verification, and portability. Here's how to set your domain as your handle.

you don't need 200K followers on an app with no algorithm.

Build your community organically by actually talking to people not through follow back nonsense. It's not 2010 and this kind of blatant engagement farming is gross.

This is so well researched. I've not read such a well researched BDSM themed book in eons. Whew.

The translator added footnotes explaining terms and equipment. I am so very impressed. 🥰

Ohh apparently they went really quickly!!!! I'm now getting personalised requests!!!! For my book!!!! It looks like the team did a great job talking it up for me. I'm so happy.
If you're going to YALC this weekend, be on the lookout for ARCs of THE REAPER at the Del Rey table - there'll be a few copies there and this is what they look like in the wild 👇🏾

If you’re new to Bluesky, this is a really helpful thread that explains how to use this platform:
🦋 WELCOME TO BLUESKY! I recommend exploring our custom feeds, which are a little like hashtags but more interesting. We have them for academic and professional subjects, sports, cities, hobbies (e.g., gardening, baking), and many more. Search them in the sidebar under Feeds. 🧵

I need to relearn short form book reviewing. It's been over a year since I've done any.

I read a lot. Over the last 3 years I've been reading mostly translated works by women.

Please read this.
A thread about feelings stuff around Our New Political Reality™.

First of all, as always:

eat
take your meds
hydrate
tell your people you love them
let them love you back

The first three make an ENORMOUS difference in our capacity to grapple w/ All The Things; the last two are kind of The Point.

I've been using Storygraph since 2020, and it's been amazing to be part of their journey. I suggest it to all of my reader friends.

I stopped using Goodreads links in the book group I admin 2 years ago, which has encouraged folks to change to Storygraph.
people who use goodreads: jeff bezos owns goodreads and if you want a better alternative there is a black woman owned company called storygraph that you can use to replace it. you can transfer all of your data from goodreads to storygraph and have your mind be free of trumpie jeff bezos! win win. 💙
