The cover of Dog’s Don’t Break Hearts, with the review star. The book is described as "A gentle romance about a teen, gaslit by his former boyfriend, who takes solace in volunteering at pet rescue—where he finds his life brightened both by a special dog and a promising new relationship. With the help of his loyal canine friend, he learns to trust again and open his heart to love."

The cover of Lonely in Happy Town, with the following description: "In this romance, set in the world of gaming, a lonely teen works nights at a convenience store, only coming alive in the game Happy Town—but he soon finds himself crushing on the same girl in both places. Juggling the complexities of his feelings, he must confront the blurred lines between fantasy and reality while navigating his own identity. As he embarks on a journey of self-discovery, he faces the challenge of bridging the gap between his two worlds."

Okay, (a) congratulations to @kamielke.bsky.social for their Hi-Lo *star!* in the Canadian Children’s Book Centre Best Books for Kids & Teens for "Lonely in Happy Town," which you should read, and (b) hey, there’s me too with "Dogs Don’t Break Hearts"! #BookSky

My aunt who is whole 61 talking about her ex from YEARS ago just texted her this morning “Happy Thanksgiving, I’m grateful to have loved you”

It’s so good. I need to revisit his doc on the Shakers.

It’s not his best but it’s a pretty good. The Civil War and Prohibition are my favorite of his American history docs.

Also it is super important to share the words of our ancestors. The idea that enslaved black people didn’t fight over and over, run away etc is wild. Including an account from a Black man on how committed Washington was to free labor is 👍🏾

I’m always here for an honest telling of how much George Washington sucked as a person.

Ken’s work is never perfect but I appreciate that this is not hours of founding father glazing. He keeps coming back to the rhetoric of white colonists invoking the language of unjust devotion to the crown well being committed to chattel slavery.

Back to Ken and the American Revolution.

As an actual writer I have absolutely no time for the romanticization of what is an underpaid and enormously uncool profession, but I will say this: if you use generative AI, you are not a writer. Being a writer is not about having a book or a byline in your name. It's about doing the writing.

Just my yearly reminder friends. Be kind to us retail workers. Sh**ts about to get real and we’re already VERY tired.

The cover for Castles in the Air by Christina Dodd, infamous because the heroine, a woman in a long white gown, has three hands. Kneeling above her is a knight with a red cross and chain mail. They're in a gold frame, and next to each of her three hands is an SBTB candle.

Four candles, two of the Bad Decisions Book Club candles in black jars and two 20th anniversary candles with the SBTB logo in white jars

We are launching our first ever limited edition candle collection, celebrating our 20th anniversary.

There's a 20th Anniversary candle, and a Bad Decisions Book Club candle - the perfect amount of light for late night reading.

If you read this thread, watched the series, and find yourself in need of a good/hot take on the concept while season two rolls out, may I suggest @rdotspoon.bsky.social's very delightful A Man for Mrs. Claus?

Because people are treating it like a juicy spectacle and not like a significant failure of journalism and a condemnation of the industry.

Photo from Sunday Scaries IG account with a picture of Michael B. Jordan and the words “Getting emotional watching all the people in their early-to-mid twenties pile into bars the night before Thanksgiving.”

Remember when
this was the thing we did
the night before Thanksgiving!?!?!? Meeting up with high school, college, or new friends in your new city, and going out!?!? Elder millennials remember this era well. Lol.💃🏾🕺🏾🪩🦃🥧 #Thanksgiving #Millennials #WednesdayNight

He should go take a pottery class at the local cc. It’ll be fun and reduce his stress.

It’s 84 degrees in LA proper too. 😂

It really is.

I came out of this bagel spot in Pasadena the day after the rain stop and I was like this is god’s country. 🥹
The mountains looked so beautiful.
