I forgot about it at first too 😅 but no problem! I love this series so I was like wait let me check lol, I hope you enjoy the rest!

Have you checked hoopla? I know it varies between libraries but mine has most of her audiobooks and there’s no wait!

The Last Binding trilogy by Freya Marske (hist fic, magic), A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland (hist fic/fantasy, some magic), and the Shades of Magic trilogy by V.E. Schwab (hist fic/fantasy, magic) would all be great picks imo.

there are powers that will do everything they can to convince you otherwise, but it should be said loudly that protest proves love. community is a conduit for love and oppression seeks to crush community. standing up to say no is an act of love

A year ago, through a combo of being in the right place at the right time and the kindness of a then-stranger, I ended up at the sequel announcement. One of the greatest and most unexpected nights of my life. I'll share some videos!

Still so grateful to @nessasreads.bsky.social 💗

I’m so happy that you joined me! It was such an amazing night and the fact that I left it with new friends is such a great bonus! 🥹💕

Pro Tip:

If you have a local Hmart or other Asian grocery store in your area (Mitsuwa, Lion Supermarket, etc) - check their skincare and makeup section! I have not shopped at Target for ages. I get everything I need at half the price elsewhere and my skin is glowing and I'm at peace. ✨️

the fucking OFFICIAL white house account.

we’re watching immigrants being forced into con centration camps in REAL TIME on the official WHITE HOUSE ACCOUNT.

MAGA GOOFS: if we eliminate government jobs those departments will become more efficient so we have fired thousands of park rangers.
EVERYONE: okay what about police officers?
MAGA GOOFS: how dare you

You guys have fucked up so bad you made Quebec patriotic

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Time to start planning for the next premiere! 🙂‍↕️

Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM because its holiday list wasn’t ‘sustainable’ Some users are angry that some events have been removed.

The subversive genius of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance The Compton MC might have just given us the biggest rap performance ever

I wrote about the biggest rap performance of all time, Kendrick’s positioning of anti-Drake-ness as part of a larger pro-Blackness and justice for Serena Williams

this haptic display absolutely rocks. basketball is for everyone.

Missing children’s org removes LGBTQIA+ materials per Trump DOJ demand A staffer at NCMEC confirms the distressing effort to comply with Trump's executive order.

NEW — I spoke to a staffer at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) about DOJ's threat to pull funding if the org didn't comply with Trump's DEI executive order, and how org leadership rolled over.

"Rather than fight back, we chose to sacrifice trans children," they said.

this is heartbreaking and unconscionable — these are the kids we’re trying to protect. this is who we are fighting for. they just want to be safe and be themselves.

Hey, this is bad, actually. Adding a "Mature 16+" label to books is currently what they do in Russia--ask any queer author who's had a book translated and our options are "remove the gay stuff" or "get stuck with an age rating." This is the kind of move that comes with censorship and fascism.

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Here are some Latine fantasy recs for those seeking unique and magical #fantasybooks that don’t get enough 🖤🖤🖤 in my opinion #booksky @skylight.social

Heads up fellow Aro/Ace folks who complain about having sex and romance in media, these people are not our allies.

There’s nothing wrong with closed door but this isn’t it, it just makes them useful idiots for book banners. I’d never heard of this pub before but definitely avoiding them now

a bronze plaque of a man in armor who looks down at a dog sitting at his feet. the man pets the dog with his left hand. the entire dog and a little bit of the plaque surrounding him is shiny and much brighter than the rest of the plaque from hundreds of years of people petting him.

This plaque in Prague has been rubbed to a shiny gold because for centuries, passersby have touched the dog for good luck, and also to reassure him that he's a very good boy. 14/10
