If a human told you things that were correct 80% of the time but claimed, flat out, with absolute confidence, that they were correct 100% of the time, you would dislike them & never trust a word they say. All I'm really suggesting is for people to treat chatbots with that same distrust & antagonism.

As we get into the era of DEI rollbacks and boycotting, I just want to remind you that not everyone can boycott every place- whether that’s due to physical/mental health, socioeconomic status, or location.

Do what you can, when you can. And know what your privileges are.

As a Very Serious Journalist™️ Part of my personal plan for fighting the ugliness that’s to come is … becoming as hot and lethal as possible.

Ya know, embodied resistance.

In da clurb we ready to fight nazis! 👊🏻

The mainstream media is already normalizing Donald Trump.

I won't, and neither should you.

This is why legacy media is dying.

Now's the time to stock up on your banned books!
Remember:
- physical media is best (because unless you own the PDF/Epub, Amazon can take it from you!)
- Shop local, thrift stores, used bookstores, or independent sellers
- Thriftbooks is not owned by Amazon and supports independent bookstores.

Today’s a really good day to support your local library.

So much love to all my trans and nonbinary friends today, tomorrow and forever

Just so we’re clear:
1. Audiobooks count
2. Reading is political
3. The orange man is a piece of 💩

Thanks for stopping by 💃

Today and in the coming days, remember

A periodic reminder: if you are in America, you almost definitely live near a library. Libraries are some of the last third spaces left, and the employees genuinely want you to get the information you need, without selling you stuff. Help them however you can.

If you haven't already, today is a good day to go get your library card.

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

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.

do some people not understand, If I have headphones on, I might not want to talk???????

Public libraries are cool and badass

"If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter”

Every time someone decides to claim that a 6yo picked up Icebreaker by mistake, thinking it was a MG children's book, your favorite author loses their will to live.

This shit is urban legend at this point. "My friend's, cousin's 6yo..."

IS THE 6YO IN THE ROOM WITH US?
