Poster for Banned Books Week 2025, with the words "Censorship is so 1984. Read for Your Rights."

Yesterday #BannedBooksWeek2025 kicked off. First established in 1982, it is a time meant to highlight "the value of free and open access to information," and to promote intellectual freedom. This year the theme is "Censorship Is So 1984. Read for Your Rights." #💙📚 #Booksky

Such a great reminder from @mikesahno.bsky.social about what #author newsletters are about:

1) Get connected – Every writer is by nature a communicator. A newsletter is a great way to reach out and make some kind of connection.
2) Stay connected!

Marketing kinda always has to be happening, but writing is SO important! Hard to keep the priorities straight

On October 6, November 5, and December 4, the “harvest,” “beaver,” and “cold” moons will all rise as supermoons—forming a three-month run that skywatchers rarely get to see.

We can all make a difference in small ways. Help a neighbor. Donate canned goods to a food drive. Write or call your reps. Help clean up the park or beach. Get out there. Be proactive, be defiant, be difficult in Jane Goodall's name. It's what she would have wanted.

Late this morning your first wife phoned, from where it is not raining: your three children huddled around, chirping, while the cat lapped milk from their cereal bowls.

Thought for today…

Richard Powers said: “The best arguments in the world won’t change a single person’s point of view. The only thing that can do that is a good story.”

Go forth and write that story! #writers #authors
