NEW — Keith Sonderling, Trump’s Deputy Secretary of Labor, has been named the Acting Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), an agency source tells me. He’ll arrive tomorrow at their office with DOGE and their security detail.

Yikes. I need to get outta here.

Thankful for robot vacuums and mops so I can enjoy being outside with the pups this morning.

Hardcover book of The Power by Naomi Alderman

This may be a DNF for me. With all the accolades and great reviews I expected this to be a winner for me. Have you read it? Characters lack any depth. Such a great premise of a book but it’s a messy snoozer for me. I’m about 50% through it and deciding whether I should finish it. #Booksky

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

I don’t understand the mushroom photos. I had to hide the profile. It was every other post for me.

Haha. I get that too! Even troubleshooting libby apps and phone issues while walking at a park.

We had one in the 2000s! Our little college town we used to live in was full of old houses with no dishwashers or space for any.

Meet-cute at Mansfield Park: can modern covers turn young readers on to Jane Austen? New editions of her novels are aimed squarely at the BookTok demographic – but will this make these classics appeal to fans of ‘spicy’ romance?
