It is independent bookstore day!! Heading out to support my local book store.

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment.

Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

Is true!

I’m so excited!! Can’t wait for my preorder to come in!!

JUST OUR LUCK is out today from @berkleyromance.bsky.social! This grumpy/sunshine fake-dating novel is my love letter to anyone who’s ever felt simultaneously too much. Plus, donuts and a $250 million winning lottery ticket. What's not to love?

Slide 1: Rep to Read – Nonbinary rep. WHAT we mean… A work by an author and/or featuring a main character who exists outside of the gender binary. This includes nonbinary, agender, genderqueer, genderfluid, and other gender expansive identities. For some people, this may mean identifying as both masculine and feminine; for others, it means being neither masculine nor feminine; and in some cases, this means identifying as a midpoint (or multiple shifting midpoints) between masc and femme.

Slide 2: Book Recs 1/3: Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun by Jonny Garza Villa. I Shall Never Fall in Love by Hari Connor. Little Rot by Akwaeke Emezi. A Song for You and I by K. O’Neill. Lakelore by Anna-Marie McLemore. The Fall that Saved Us by Tamara Jerée.

A blue Tesla Model 3 has been crushed by an Olmec statue. A man with long black braids leans against the hood of the car with his arms crossed, staring down the camera.

Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.

Here to Slay by Radhika Sanghani. Two South Asian teenage girls back to back, one in black clothes, one in blue.

Just treated myself and bought my first physical book of the year, secondhand for £1.50. Look at it!

Justice for Emily Pike.
Justice for the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.
This is a crisis.
The murder rate is ten times higher than the US national average for women living on reservations.

Quick ✨ GLOWING ✨ review of I Got Abducted By Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com by Kimberly Lemming #booksky #blackbooksky #romancebooksky

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished
