Thank you, & also drat, bc NetGalley is interested in GR/ Amazon reviews & I am a glutton for ARCs, not to mention most of my romance (etc) reading pals are on GR.
I bet KJC is avoiding the Amazon/GR ecosystem on principle as well. I'm not buying books on A. anymore, at least.

anybody know why previews to stupid goodreads aren't showing up anymore?
Someday if you're very lucky you'll be old and enthusiastically banging your partner and you'll look back on this kind of joke and realize how offensive and dehumanizing it is
I love migration season, and I wish it didn't always make me think of habitat loss these days. How many more years of spring warblers & kinglets & gnatcatchers &&& are left to us?
Pine warbler perched on a branch. It's sunny, the branch is of a flowering tree, and the water of a decorative pond is visible in the background.
Same pine warbler, same tree, but a different branch with more pink-red buds. The warbler is behind a small flowering branch but is mostly visible.
Same pine warbler, same branch, but the warbler's beak is open as it sings.
Same warbler, same tree, still singing, different branch.
The early #warblers are arriving! This Pine Warbler was singing its fool head off in #Brooklyn, #GreenwoodCemetery, this morning.

I mean, yes, of course, but you do realize that the mayor can't control either SCOTUS or red-state legislatures? Or even the NYS legislature? Or even the City Council? He has some sway over the latter two and exactly none over the former, most powerful two.
Deep-sea mining halted as global moratorium gains support. International negotiations have again resulted in a no to deep-sea mining, with no code adopted and no projects authorised. It appears humanity is coalescing around the conclusion that this is a bad idea. buff.ly/6dRGO7w

And look at the price he paid. He couldn't even save his wife, and their daughters were orphaned.
i used to wonder what it felt like to be an anti-nazi german in the years after 1933
i didn't want to know, mind you. i just wondered.
But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?
hey so there's a one-time kinktomato exception for kristi gnome's husband, right? 😎
It's all slop FFS
notice also that we have here another racist, misogynist scumbag who has never had (consensual) sex with another person and never will
This may change your world. Birds process sound and vision around 10 times more rapidly than humans do. Here, I have a 2.3 second clip of an Eastern Whipbird call, followed by the same clip slowed 10x. Perhaps it's time to recognise that different intelligences are no less relevant than ours. #Birds

Walking the walk talk the talk something about Squirrels?
She was so great! @lackolight.bsky.social, back in the day of cassette tapes I wore more than 1 out, listening to her.
It's really good. I want that second edition with my small criticisms addressed! because I think that'll bring it a wider audience.
And heaven help you if you point out that one of the things wrong with Trump is *not* that he's fat.
Ebook cover of Rears & Vices by E M Caro
I came for the mmm romance in Rears & Vices and I’ve stayed for the rants about the evils of slavery and The East India Company.
I AM HAVING A GREAT TIME.
A somewhat belated review of a complicated & exceptionally interesting (and sexy!) historical novel with bonus poly romance: E.M. Caro's "Rears and Vices":

New York Times headline about the Trump regime demanding that the University of Pennsylvania supply contact info of Jewish students and staff. The university refused and the regime is suing.
Nothing says "Fighting anti-Semitism" like demanding lists of Jews, amirite?

yeah, because screenshotting for informational purposes is absolutely the same as reposting. you're blocked.
Never mind fanfic -- how about 99/100 KU titles, and I'm not even thinking of those obviously "written" by AI
Oh my goodness yes: how could I have forgotten this one, which sets off internal screeching whenever encountered
Next week, we will hit the goddamn brakes
