Hoo boy, I haven’t been on here in a while, but just in case:

Agents, I’m on the hunt for MG (novel or GN) with Turning Red vibes

And YA or NA in the vein of Heavenly Creatures

Thanks much!

The American Library Association praises servic of Dr. Carla Hayden, decries 'unjust dismissal' of Librarian of Congress. [Image of Dr. Carla Hayden standing in the stacks in a library]

NEW: ALA salutes Dr Carla Hayden for her exceptional service to the nation as the Librarian of Congress. We are deeply disappointed in Dr Hayden's abrupt & unjust dismissal last night, an insult to the scope & breadth of her work.

Read ALA Pres. Cindy Hohl's statement: www.ala.org/news/2025/05...

If you hear someone weeping in the Hall of Biodiversity at the AMNH, that’s just me having a mini breakdown because we are killing our one and only beautiful, miraculous planet

My review of Sinners:

- Let Ryan Coogler do whatever the hell he wants always and forever
- Wunmi Mosaku is the most beautiful human being on the planet???

Transcendent.

After decades of dealing with migraines, I have come to a very important conclusion. I hope this advice reaches those in need:

Don’t get migraines.

There are so many people earnestly doing good and beautiful things in this country—artists, teachers, scientists, public servants. Sometimes I feel like my heart is exploding to see all their efforts so carelessly dismantled and stripped for parts

Disappearing humans without any form of due process is fascism and authoritarianism.

Trafficking humans without any form of due process is fascism and authoritarianism.

MAGA supports this.
MAGA craves this.

We are not going to change hearts and minds.

We. Are. Not.

Resist this regime.

Every single person on this planet should be watching Adolescence. We have a severe male loneliness/incel epidemic and we need to figure this shit out.
