As Heather Cox Richardson writes, The Epstein story is about more than the sex trafficking of girls. It's also about rich and privileged people evading accountability for breaking the law." People like Donald Trump, in other words.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

I understand that Big Brother Musk is now going through Americans' tax returns. Remember that IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH and FREEDOM IS SLAVERY.

Voted for Trump, now have buyer’s remorse? The Trump philosophy seems to be his version of FAFO. Don’t buy anything on the 28th unless you absolutely have to.

My favorite part of selling books on @pangobooks.bsky.social is turning around and buying new books with the money I made 📚❤️

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

My absolute favorite was 11/22/63 by @stephenking.bsky.social 🎉 When was someone going to tell me this was his best romance book? I sobbed at the end. 10/10 recommend.

My TBR shelf is getting dense! What should I read next? #books #reading #tbr

New delivery from Fairyloot. A gorgeous edition of Immortal by Sue Lynn Tan 😍 #fantasy #books #specialedition

I was wondering about it! It’s not discussed as often. Will have to check it out 🙌

Great to hear!! I’m very excited to read them 😍

This is a sad reality 😭

Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. Hard to believe it was written in the 90’s! People called this book prophetic and I completely agree. It was very hard to read at times, but so important.

Genres: Dystopian, horror, post-apocalyptic, political, fantasy

Julia Armfield is one of my new favorite horror / litfic authors. Her ability to draw out a sense of dread and water/ocean/climate themed imagery is stunning. Highly recommend Our Wives, Under the Sea and Private Rites #bookrecs #litfic #juliaarmfield #booksky #read

That book had some of the most wild horror scenes I’ve ever read in a book. Not sure I fully understood it by the end…😂😅 Def need to read it again someday.

Visited @citylightsbooks.bsky.social in SF during my recent trip. This is my book stack. Very excited to dive in! #books #reading

So begins posting daily tattoos with y’all! Starting with this spring solstice inspired Medusa! I do a few tattoo giveaways a year, and this was one such winner from last year.

American Rapture book

Finished American Rapture by CJ Leede (same author as Maeve Fly). IT’S AMAZING. 5/5. But check the trigger warnings.

Read if you loved The Stand or The Last of Us.
