librarians are generals in the war on ignorance

Who likes big pink roses?

I swear I’m going to have to permanently quit tv to finish the books I’ve bought just this year. Which now that I think about it might be the best idea I’ve had in a long time lol.

Ozymandias I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Have fun! I love Butler and she is a personal inspiration to me as a writer. If you like this one check out her Xenogenesis trilogy.

My review of Fragments of Wasted Devotion by Maria Arias Tsang #sapphfic #blackbooksky #netgalley #FOWD

I received this ARC on Netgalley, not thinking much as I requested it besides wanting to read more non fiction.

Stayed up way too late editing, knowing I had an early morning.

Worth it! 😏🙌✨🥰

I swear V for Vendetta (the book not the movie) is perfect for this time period we are about to live thru. (For the record I like the movie, but the book operates on a higher level).

YouTube video by Reese Waters Thanksgiving Marks the Beginning of MAGA's FAFO Season

Nothing better than having my coffee with Reese Waters. The Thanksgiving roundup of MAGA Shenanigans makes me extra thankful that I was raised to know human decency is the only way forward. Even my parents in their 80’s appreciate progressives.

Do the Black billionaires ever have ethicist and academics in their payroll? Like hire these people to make sure your business moves aren’t harmful to your own damn people.

I’ve had a lotta jobs in my life. Dad and Husband is the only one I’ve really enjoyed. Plus the hugs and kisses are better than any bonus I’ve gotten lol.

So many great books….so little time 😢
