Procrastareading: reading a well-loved book instead of everything on my #tbr

Today they have crossed a deep red line.
We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.
I have several numbers I'm attached to, such as the number three, so for my pause to land on 3 hours 33 minutes and 33%, I'm tickled 😂
Also, this audiobook is pulling me out of my reading slump much like Caleb lovingly (and literally 😉) pulled Sarah to their tent that first night. 🤭
We’re sure many of you have heard about the growing controversy in Oklahoma, where parents are pushing back against a new curriculum quietly pushed through by the state’s superintendent.
A friend in the bookish community needs a little help. She and her partner are both out of work and trying to hold on until they can find work and figure their next steps out. If you have a dollar or two it’ll make a difference.
Do not give this woman a dime of your money.
1. Do not watch the new show.
2. Do not stream any of the movies (yes, that includes Fantastic Beasts)
3. Do not buy any of her books. She has a pen name Robert Galbraith.

Donald Trump's policies are cruel and harmful. They're also insulting, to his opponents and supporters alike.
His actions and claims insult the intelligence of the American people - and our shared values.
Rules are rules.
Cover of Devil of the Deep
Here it is, y’all! The official cover for Devil of the Deep, by @falenciajfwrites.bsky.social , featuring art by @blackgirlabsolute.bsky.social! This is a Haitian fantasy about a mermaid, a pirate and a navy caption who have to work together to tackle an underwater cult to save the world.
Omg it's amazing!!! 😍😍😍
Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow:
George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.
I turn 35 on Saturday & my awesome family & friends got me giftcards to small, local bookstores. 🥳 So I need book recs 🙏 High fantasy, Sci Fi, RomCom, anything cozy & cute. Bonus points for indie authors and completed series!
anywayyyyyy support a Jewish book creator by following me on Bindery (for free)!
maybe we can publish books someday. and along the way, it’s a lovely community with a book club, readathons, and more. ⬇️

Yesterday, a white man published a book about a slave child who falls in love with her enslaver. And of the four reviews the book has, one of them was telling those of us who are “sensitive to racism” that it’s wrong to leave a bad review. Oh, and the book is meant to be advocating for Black people.

I wish I could get my time back from reading that dust jacket. Wtaf is this trash?🗑
Ugh. I wish she would disappear. Hateful bitch, indeed.
This is a call to action and I would appreciate it if you'd give it a read and consider plugging in! Thank you!
Loot from our bookstore @bettiespages.bsky.social Took a very excited birthday girl to do some book shopping & found stuff for us too✨️✨️ We also walked out with like 12 books BUT none of them were for me😂 #noshelfcontrol #booksky #supportlocal #yallmeansall
Throwback to a book I loved & a #flatlay I was proud of😍 To think there was a time I was hustling to create content. Where did that motivation go?😅 #booksky

As someone whose life was dramatically altered by long COVID & who still masks indoors, it’s terrifying to see face masks weaponized in the attack on Palestine and free speech. Bans on face masks feel like I am being told to disappear from public life. Our struggles are always connected.
Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
Ronan is my shadow, my writing buddy, and my best friend. Right now, he’s paralyzed and fighting for his life.
He needs life-saving surgery (that I can’t afford) to survive. Anything you can do — donations, shares — would be a gift.

Ugly cry… 🫶
I loved Most Ardently! And I'm a super P&P fan 😍 I thought it was a perfect way to spin the OG story.
We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
