As the editor of a book on this list, allow me to say again that book banning is a catastrophe for freedom of speech in America. There is no silver lining. It's all harm.

You can fight back by calling your reps to demand they vote against HR 7661, which is effectively a national book banning bill.

I went to the locally owned nursery for some plants, because it's a bit early but I saw a bumble 🐝 looking hopeful around my balcony.

Got some bee-friendly perennials AND the nursery cat said an affectionate hello to me.

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about.

This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

Orban's defeat has me in a good mood, so here are 10 US #KindleBookGiveaway copies of Terry Pratchett's Small Gods, which has an ending that makes me feel the same way. This is a fantastic book, and was the first pterry book I read that I *loved*.
