I was only supposed to play the tutorial of @expedition33.bsky.social last night, but I ended up staying up too late to play Act 1 >.< Great Game!

Poor Nuska!! Get better soon.

We were told not to share this publicly, but last year was record-breaking—America’s national parks saw over 331 million visits.

Never forget when one of the libraries in my home town got three sewing machines in their art lab and everyone laughed about it until all the industrial workers started using them to repair their jeans and carharts and the clothing stores got mad.

If you must screencap the tweet where elon musk claims his kid was killed by the ~wOkE mInD vIrUs~, blot out her deadname.

Don't give elon the victory of making her deadname more well known than her real name.

Screenshot of post by daxaeterna that states that book pirates make much more than authors with link to study.

And @daxaeterna.daxmurray.com , the people who pirate books and/or profit from pirating books are likely the same people who argue that we don’t need libraries anymore because of the internet.

This cat is adorable!

I got Noms, I had play, but Senpai, ;The queen of the house,) won’t notice me… time for naps and happy #Caturday.

I did my first virtual author visit about 2 weeks ago, and it was awesome! Then, I visited a local school for a library outreach, and the class had been to my virtual author visit. All they wanted to talk about were my books! The teacher told me afterward that the class was star struck. 🥰

Promotional material for AJ Torres and the Treasure of Captain Grayshark, coming from Random House Children's Books on June 24, 2025. A swashbuckling tale of friendship, courage, and ghost pirates!

I just threw this together, so I figured I might as well inflict it on you too!

TIL that my husband plays lo-fi music with cat videos on the TV every morning so that I will wake up in a good mood. He is the best. 🥰

I’m sorry. I hope both of you feel better soon!

Really depends how into the comics they are… I’d also suggest Aerie (paired with Wink) but kid readers might not know the pair unless they knew the comics.

Maybe Halo from Young Justice?

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

Social Security has never missed a payment. DOGE actions threaten 'interruption of benefits,' ex-agency head says New changes at the U.S. Social Security Administration may put its ability to deliver monthly benefit checks at risk, former agency head says.

The former head of the Social Security Administration says he expects the agency to miss on some payments over the next three months, interrupting some people's benefits, for the first time in Social Security's history of eight decades: www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...

Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

Not that I want you to link them for the exposure but I would be interested in such a list because it is bound to be full of awesome people

My books are on Amazon, but I ALWAYS link people to Bookshop.org or their local library instead. Bookshop supports your local bookstores, and you should always support your local library.

He’s calling people who receive federal assistance “parasites” while taking $8 million a day from U.S. taxpayers—plus another $400 million on the way for armored Teslas. What a hypocrite. This administration is full of terrible people.

Elon also just landed another SpaceX contract—right after paying Trump $10 million for an X lawsuit, despite not even owning X at the time. Follow the money and see where it goes.

I miss you!!

He was our little lion, our old man cat, our dude, manager cat, little buddy. He loved hanging out in the bath, loved it when things were clean (they rarely were) and warm. He was curious about the outdoors, and he made sure we always took some time in our day to slow down. I miss him so much.

Thank you for this reminder. I just reached out to the cover and interior illustrator for my book and tagged her on LinkedIn. She’s not on BlueSky yet.

Hi all! I’m overwhelmed with this response—WOW! 💜 to confirm, the ask is to spread the word and contact Council and press, not to get out-of-state cards. But Oregon peeps whose home libraries are in the passport program can get a passport card here. SPL is part of the Chemeketa Cooperative (CCRLS).

Save Salem Public Library (OR) Act now to help Salem, Oregon residents protect their public library from further defunding and loss of staff.

(2/2) Several OR cities are dealing with this due to property tax compression from taxes passed in the 90s, but no other city of Salem’s size in OR has even THOUGHT about shuttering their libraries. City Manager and Council seem all for funding the cops though!!

Okay, I’m hoping this will gain some traction on Bluesky *inhales* SALEM PUBLIC LIBRARY IN OREGON IS IN DANGER OF CLOSING. This sets a dangerous precedent for state capital libraries!!

This is a continuation of the saga from last year, when we were saved at the last second by the then-mayor. (1/2)

SAVE THE LIBRARIES, SAVE THE LIBRARIES!

What good is the world without libraries?? ❤️‍🩹📚
