I recently read & enjoyed this one after being tv adaptation trailer sent me searching for fic!

💜💜💜

Aw that’s true! But would love to do a Wimsey reread with you sometime-maybe in 2026?

It was the first thing I read about this morning as I got ready for work and while it’s just one more piece of awful news, somehow I’m extra upset & angry.

I read & really enjoyed The Shots You Take earlier this spring & I just picked up Murder by Memory & The River Has Roots on Indie Bookstore Day!

It’s National Library Week! What a great time to read this awesome guide to supporting public libraries, created by my brilliant friend & librarian @elvenjaneite.bsky.social

💗💗💗💗 sending good thoughts & vibes!

This weekend, DHS targeted and seized Mahmoud Khalil as punishment for his political speech, and indicated that they are revoking his green card. They have since handed him over to ICE where he is being detained — his location unknown — and held for deportation without due process. This is what fascist governments do, and it will not stop here. This extreme escalation is the test case; the Trump/Musk administration is trying to see how far they can go without public outrage and legal checks on their power. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.

This extreme escalation is an egregious violation of first amendment rights. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.

This issue has become persistent over the last few weeks. Tracking buses that never come unfortunately doesn’t really help.

@wmata.com @metrobus Why has the 7am T2 bus simply not shown up at Friendship Heights at 2-3 mornings a week for the past few weeks?! This is a significant commute route at that time!

Yes!!! 🙌 The lack of middle school fiction (not the same as middle grade fiction) has become one of my biggest professional frustrations. Very excited about @youngteenlit.bsky.social!

Love to have to walk past groups of people in Tr*mp gear this weekend while just trying to metro back & forth from our church with my fiancée 😤

I now remember seeing this in a bookstore and thinking it looked fun but then I forgot about it! Going to have to hunt it down.

It is something I would never have thought to ask for or acquire but I’m very excited about it! Any tips or recs welcome!

I remain mostly uninterested in hockey but have found I enjoy a sports romance- if it is queer lol

Also I received a milk frother as a gift from my in laws yesterday & it might be a silly but life changing kitchen gadget. We made oat milk London Fogs this morning AT HOME!

😂 This is amazing & hilarious! Also thrilled to hear you also devoured Game Changers (which I did initially reluctantly & then enthusiastically a year or so ago)

Just seeing this now and I could be into doing this in chill book club fashion perhaps? <3
