getting to the age where people i’ve dated are getting married and woah

realizing i can literally have the cutest girliest bedroom because a man will never be there is such a win wow

Surround yourself with the kind of people who are proud to have a library card.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.

We have always been here.

Bravo! 👏

More of this, please.

“keep the change” and the change is just a pile of shit with coins in it

playing dnd is great but DM-ing and having to have full emotional conversations with yourself is a new level

i see republicans concerned about the tariffs and it’s like woah if only someone had told u this would— wait a minute…

i love dnd. yes i do enjoy listening to my friends argue for hours

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHJJJHHHHHHJJHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHJHJJHHHHHH

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

I hope that bookstores never go away. Big or small. Same with libraries - just keep them. #booksky

just casually reading someone get their back broken in literature is such a harrowing experience

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like
-check them out regularly at the library
-request the library order them if they don’t have them
-buy them
-start or support banned book clubs
-organize a banned book kids story time
A real shame

when “end racism” is a controversial statement you know this is going to shit

It’s a good day to visit the #library or an independent #bookstore – or maybe both! #Booksky

A reminder - don't use Amazon, but go to bookshops, which play a far more vital role in promoting literacy just by simply making books more visible, and allow you to find things by chance rather than by what the algorithm decides.

hey maybe things are going to shit BUT i had a period without bleeding onto my pajamas pants once and that’s a win

📚📚 An EASY and FREE thing you can do right now is get a library card!! 📚📚

THEY are coming for our libraries. Libraries are the foundation of community efforts and one of the last true places you can exist and gather without a fee. Simply USING the library helps and is so EASY AND FUN!

Reminder that the best thing you can do to support open and free information is to USE YOUR LIBRARY #booksky #librarysky #diversebooksky #supportyourlocallibrary #diversebooks #libraries

As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community:

The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies.

I know, Kindle users, it sucks—but your digital copy can be deleted any time.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

Friendly reminder that if you buy a book on Kindle, you're only paying for the rights to read, not own. If a book truly gets banned, it will be taken away from digital platforms like Kindle, nook, etc. Consider getting physical copies of banned (or other) books!

READ BANNED BOOKS

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school.

Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.

Folks trying to act cool and aloof about the TikTok ban sound genuinely idiotic. If you don’t get why it’s a devastating and dangerous precedent, that says way more about you than the people lamenting its loss. I learned so much on that app. I saw the funniest shit of my life there. Shit sucks.

I’m so serious about this. Do not increase your time on meta platforms. In fact, over the next 48 hours, give your attention to somewhere else. Don’t reward Zuckerberg for this. 1/
