Text - H.R.7661 - 119th Congress (2025-2026): Stop the Sexualization of Children Act | Congress.gov | Library of Congress

This bill is as awful as it sounds and I urge everyone to reach out to their reps. It is 100% anti Trans.

For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

Years ago our admin did a red and black report. It took salaries & how much $ each instructor made in tuition $ for classes we taught-you were in the red or black. They released numbers once & shut it down bc humanities were producing huge $ for uni & engineers, business and scientists were losing $

one of the funny truths you learn if you write in the cross-genre romance space is that people who don't like the sex will hallucinate massive amounts of it in your book, and people who wanted more sex will be able to estimate an exact sex word count within like 75 words.

They'll both be mad tho.

This, I was seriously confused where they found the copious amounts of gay sex πŸ˜‚

Just bump the stars up to 5, and this would be very similar to my own glowing review (though add in great representations of autism and trauma). I read the final book in the series this month and it managed to break through a pretty brutal reading slump.

tl;dr read this book!

Sometimes those one-stars/DNF's are actually five-star reviews in disguise ^.^
Here's one I got last year for the Revenge of Captain Vessia
(Also you should read Kara's books they're amazing!)

The cover of The Complete Persepolis by Marianne Satrapi.

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

It's literally a scene and a half, so in the big scheme of things, not that much

This book is great, but also this reviewer seems to have missed the (incredible) content warning page lol
