@alyankovic.bsky.social Please don't play at Ravinia again. Worst concert experience I've ever had. If you weren't in the pavilion, you literally couldn't see the stage and the screens were useless if you didn't get there 3-5 hours early. Left before you even came on it was so miserable.

Baggage: Tales From A Fully Packed Life by Alan Cumming I’m really enjoying Alan Cumming’s second memoir. Lots of incredible stories and a good amount of humor and levity! #alancumming #BookSky #booksky💙📚

Man, the clubs are really sorta ruining Independent Bookstore Day. They get in early and clear it them out. I was really hoping for that Indie Bookstore Day Paul Tremblay special edition of Horror Movie. At least the money isn’t going to Amazon.

Passing by Nella Larsen
A fantastic and quick read! While this was written in 1929, a lot of the subject matter within are still very relevant. #booksky📚💙 #nellalarsen #fiction #semiautobiographical #bookworm #booknerd

Good news from Colorado: A U.S. District Judge ordered a school district to restore library books they banned by next week, prohibiting the district from further restrictions on access to books that the school board objects to politically.

Federal judge orders Colorado district to return banned books to school libraries
The order prohibits the school board from removing books “because the district disagrees with the views expressed therein or merely to further their preferred political or religious orthodoxy.”

If you find yourself reconsidering where to buy your books in light of Target ending DEI, don't forget your local independent bookstores! I'll happily spend a bit more, and wait a little longer for my pre-ordera #booksky #target

Just finished Still Me by Christopher Reeve. A fantastic memoir detailing his accident, his past, and his optimistic views of the future of healing and treatments for spinal cord injuries and paralysis. The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation has made remarkable steps over the years! #booksky

seeing the dumpster fire that was “keep politics out of booktok” taught me that reading isn’t enough. critical thinking needs to be taught, needs to be practiced. #booksky

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.

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.
