I resent having to make yet another social media account but in an attempt to get off all the social media that the billionaires own, here I am.

I may use this to shitpost... :)

I've recently gotten into the idea of digital gardens and personal curriculums to combat doomscrolling and have posted about it over on my newsletter: bibliothecarybooks.binderybooks.com/item/ZIQrAIk...

@thoughtsontomes.bsky.social and I made a tag like it’s 2015– the Get to Know My Taste tag. We hope this will be a fun way to find BookTubers whose tastes align with yours! If you make a video answering the questions, tag me and/or Sam so we can add you to our playlist.

Each person in New York wakes up on an unfamiliar block after its buildings rearrange overnight. The power grid has snapped, thousands of residents are missing, and the Empire State Building is on Coney Island—for now. The next night, it happens again. #booksky

The cover of The Unmapping by Denise S. Robbins features a bold, abstract design composed of overlapping colorful geometric patterns, blocks, and lines. A fragmented city skyline runs horizontally across the center in shades of orange, purple, and pink, evoking a sunset or sunrise. Silhouettes of two figures appear at the bottom corners, partially obscured by the abstract patterns. The title, "The Unmapping," is displayed in large, dynamic white lettering across the center, with the author’s name, Denise S. Robbins, written in white at the bottom.

My flight got delayed 11 HOURS so I convinced myself I don't need to bring my laptop because I can take those 11 HOURS to get stuff done before I leave.

Come talk to me over on YT about how every book release appears to be a special edition at this point! Also I love posting book chats and getting so many comments with people sharing opinions - I missed it :) youtu.be/OcoaUs_hRM4

Ok Dandelion Dynasty fans - I finished book 1 and as someone said in my Discord, it feels like one long prologue. So much happens and there's so many characters, and it mainly feels like moving pieces on a chess board for 500 pages. Does the rest of the series feel the same as book 1??

I’d love to hear from other Black creators about what your experience putting yourself online has been like. How would you describe being a Black content creator and what have been your challenges?

This is brought to you by someone repeating portions of my video in their own with no credit 😬

In 2025, celebrating Black History Month isn't just about honoring Black legacies—it's an act of defiance against an administration that seeks to erase Black voices, downplay our struggles as a direct consequence of white supremacy, and deny our progress.

There are two wolves inside me: one that wants nothing to do with the internet and wants to delete almost all social media AND one that wants to stay connected to community and discussions

I truly never know which one will win at any given moment. It’s anyone’s game.
