The only sale emails I ALWAYS look at (and at least half the time buy from) are the ones from @libro.fm. I just got 9 audiobooks for less than $40.

A friend recently called me after she watched Into the Manosphere to tell me that she realized my ex was continually using DARVO anytime we would have disagreements. It was extremely validating to hear her confirmation, even years later.

We had a tornado warning in Minnesota last night. 😑

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

Today is the inaugural Black Bookstore Day! We partner with over 300 Black-owned bookshops across the globe, and today—and every day—is a great time to show them love 💓

Has anyone studied the psychic toll of years spent waking up to the unhinged rantings of a vicious madman who could kill us all — and then going about one’s day per usual?

Raise your hand if you want to read audiobooks from a company that
1) supports your indie bookstore
2) offers them DRM-free (you get the actual files)
3) is a certified b corp and employee owned
4) doesn't take away your credits (they don't expire)

My local indie bookstores would never

Bondi was awful, but no worse than Patel. Noem was terrible, but no worse than Hegseth. Funny that it’s only the women who get fired.

some bell hooks and some hell books

Thank you. I tested the water parameters and couldn't find anything wrong. Might have just been his time. Womp.

RIP Watercolor. I have literally no idea why you died, but I'm sad about it.

Color is a form of resistance in a world that wants to homogenize everyone and make them quiet and unseen. Enjoy the shirts!!

Tfw you're in Minneapolis for a concert, and they tell you "chant whatever you want," and the ENTIRE crowd starts IMMEDIATELY on "FUCK ICE" and they are not prepared

The beautiful cover of Amal El-Mohtar's newest book, Seasons of Glass & Iron, which has a geometric figure and a rabbit chasing a wolf or coyote moving through the shape, set against a bucolic forest scene

Picked up my pre-order of @amalelmohtar.com's newest book, Seasons of Glass & Iron, from a spectacular Black-woman-owned bookstore, Black Garnet Books, that I found through the Friends of the Hennepin County Library. Actively fighting the urge to cancel my plans tonight to stay home and read this 🤩

I've been a full-blown professional working in corporate America for so long now, at my current company for almost a decade, and it just occurred to me that I'm STILL not as old as the man who sexually harassed me at my first job out of college.

This account was originally supposed to be about books, but uhh yeah. You know. *gestures vaguely* The world.

Listen, if you do get drafted, you know what to do

Olive is sleeping on my lap, and I feel like the chosen one. (She has historically not been a fan of pretty much any human other than my partner.)

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

People: how do you read so fast? Me: babes I’m avoiding reality at an Olympic level

In honor of the Olympics and a reality to currently avoid #booksky

The surge in violence meted out by ICE absolutely should continue to be condemned, but I think a lot of people didn't realize or care that activists have been facing life-altering injury from cops for generations. "Law enforcement" has always been the violence. It ALL needs to stop.

Jack Posobiec on twitter sharing a video of Baelor Targaryen from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms with the caption "This is white culture"

oh you think white people don't have culture? what about this sickly family of incestuous warlords from a book i didn't read?

Re-watching Bridgerton season one, and I hate to say, but the prince was the correct choice. He was kind and genuine, and he wasn't an emotionally stunted man-child holding a toxic grudge. Simon is such an absolute ass to Daphne for the entire first four episodes. Ew.

Ever since I read By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult, I'm now thoroughly convinced Shakespeare didn't actually write anything himself. (Which I understand is not this point of this post, it's just a thing I can't help but think every time I see his name now 😅)

Our Valentine's Day has consisted of brunch with Grandma, nerding out at the fish store, parallel play (partner doing fish tank and plant maintenance, me crocheting), Thai takeout, and now we're starting a new Stardew farm. Marriage can be pretty fucking cool.

FACT.

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this
