This is a wonderful time to support journalists who do the work, don’t fuck sources, and actually have moral clarity.

I had never thought of that, but you may be right. They're clearly investing in *having* a limit, unlike Kobo Plus, because I remember when Amazon changed the limit from 10 to 20 and they could have just done away with it at that point.

I'm really not sure why they have a limit, it seems like it would make people more likely to not cancel if they look at their Kindle and there are already a bunch of KU books on it they haven't read yet...?

We are seeing a sudden flurry of censorship activity in smaller towns in central Texas. If you are a parent or librarian in this area, please reach out to us or @txfreedomread.bsky.social if you need support.

I don't know if he wants to lean more tone-on-tone with a smaller # of fabrics, or go scrappy and mix it up with some patterns too, so I gave him lots of options! Turns out photographing red fabrics is really hard, though, I had to promise I wasn't trying to put hot pink or orange in his quilt. πŸ˜‚

Okay, I have finally managed to get decent-enough photographs of 38 potential fabrics I want my nephew to look at for the quilt I'm making him. Because I suspect he will have Opinions. πŸ˜‚

Texas Is Turning Private Land Into Public Parks in a Historic Spending Spree A massive push toward public land expansion means more state parks for all Texans to enjoy.

I am so excited about this. It’s nice to have something good happening in this state, which genuinely does contain a ton of natural beauty and incredible ecosystems.

Thank you, I hadn't heard of this book and after reading the review I've just ordered it from my local bookshop as a gift for someone who I know will be very interested.

700+ people are on my newsletter list & I will not knowingly use it to promote authors who are fine with stealing other people's art.

(This also means you, sapphic author who used to have "Midjourney" credited for your one cover in your front matter, but you went back and deleted that disclosure.)
