TEXAS educators - how is SB13 (passed 6/20/25) impacting you as you ramp up for the school year? What challenges are you discovering? What support do you need?

LOSING IT over the fact that the person who "asked ChatGPT how to play the game" is the first person home on Big Brother

Bahahahaha LOSER BEHAVIOR, LOSER STATUS

Anyone in education access/advocacy, publishing, diverse books initiatives, etc hiring? I'm a former educator, I'm a project manager, stage manager, freelance writer, K-12 book expert, and adaptable to pretty much anything. Want someone knowledgeable and passionate? Let me know 👀

Elias Cold's The Duke Steals Hearts & Other Body Parts Makes Zombies Fun - Reactor For those that like their horror gothic, twisty, and snarky...

Every now and then, someone comes along and makes zombies fun again. @cassiekayreads.bsky.social reviews Elias Cold's YA horror The Duke Steals Hearts & Other Body Parts–a gothic fantasy that starts with a missing nose and gets weirder from there:

How does someone even start to figure out what else they want to do when their dream job is going through an identity crisis and you're worried it's not going to end well? Asking for a friend. ...but maybe that friend is me. Idk what I want to do when I grow up anymore, y'all.

3) editing your resume or cover letter
4) idk but make a request and I'll let you know if I can do it!

1) a list of 3 book titles curated just for you
2) a friendship bracelet made with beads picked out by one of my cats (as in, i will throw beads on the ground and the ones the cats play with will be on the bracelet)

If you DM me with a screenshot proving you donated to Max, I would happily gift you some of the following things back:

Max is one of my favorite people on this planet. The hand they have been dealt is unfair, unjust, and awful. I'm not in a financial position to help, which breaks my heart -- but maybe some of you are.

And that's an immediate add to the TBR for me

Use 5Calls and CALL YOUR REPS. Hakeem Jeffries is using his time on the floor so we can continue to voice their opposition to the "Big Beautiful Bill." He has been speaking for hours, making sure the GOP couldn't pass the bill in the dead of night as Americans slept. CALL. YOUR. REPS.

Between the DanDaDan film's mongolion death worm, Elio's alien worm species, and Andrew Joseph White's upcoming YOU WEREN'T MEANT TO BE HUMAN, 2025 really is the year of the worm for media and original storytelling. Go worms!!

"We have The Hunchback of Notre Dame at home"

The Hunchback of Notre Dame at home:

If I had a nickel for every time an Uber driver on this work trip has asked me to explain to them why audiobooks count as reading, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but wild it's happened twice for such a short trip - I've been gone ONE NIGHT

In my current WIP I made the discovery that if I make my placeholder a meme, I am tickled enough to move on and come back to it later - landed on [Somehow, Palpatine returned]. Highly recommend 😂

Truly the Jamie Lloyd's trend is KILLING ME

The "Jamie Lloyd's [musical]" trend with the different guys in boxers keeps making me think of the stud cards you collect in Shadow Hearts Covenant PLEASE someone understand me 😂

Fours different hands pull a golden crown apart, surrounded by the words "Many hands make light work."

No kings

I've been thinking about it off and on for almost ten years 😅

Here I am, once again, wondering to myself, "should i just go to library school"

You know what hits incredibly differently when you reread it 5 years later after the sudden deaths of your father, uncle, and grandmother?

Legendborn 😂🥲

The person in front of me at the Metro had $1100 on their card and for the tiniest, briefest moment I considered starting a new life as a pickpocket

BOOOOO TOM FELTON

Same!!

Anyone have recommendations for a day in #Nashville? Bookstore recs (obviously) and other fun things welcome!

Feel uncomfortable doing this but - it's my birthday! I'm temporarily supporting myself and my mom on a salary that barely supports just me. If anyone can spare a couple dollars, it would be so, so appreciated.

There's something kinda fun about giving blood directly under a TV loudly playing one of the Jurassic World movies 😂

anyway fuck Patti LuPone

Can you imagine saying something so bad, so incredibly out of pocket and racist, that 500 theater kids sign a letter to get you banned from the year's biggest cast party
