TW: Self-harm topics & sexual harassment/abuse are in the book. If you've self-harmed in the past, the book could be extremely triggering. The abuse is through a "trusted adult" of sorts, not familial. There is a "forgotten child" neglect topic for the main character which was well executed. (2/2)

Book cover for "I Am the Swarm" by Hayley Chewins. It depicts a brunette young girl with curly hair staring off into the distance. There are butterflies, moths, wasps, and dragonflies flying around her head. The tagline reads, "The magic is coming. Will she survive it?"

"I Am the Swarm" by Hayley Chewins is entirely in verse, which made it for a very quick read. I liked the tone. It reminded me of how my inner world felt like when I was a despressed 15yo, minus the magic. I liked how magic wasn't used to solve the problems, but more acted as a mirror to them. (1/2)

"Banned Together: Our Fight for Reader's Rights" was the right book to start off 2026. I had it on display in the YA section for Banned Book month, but I didn't get to finish it until now. It's awful how books with LGBTQIA+ and/or BIPOC rep are challenged just for EXISTING? 10/10 for info/insights.

An account from Bluesky with the username elonmusk5-46.bsky.social. It has a profile pic with Elon Musk's face. Not taking any chances!

Never blocked an account so fast in my life. Not taking any chances with these possible Nazis. I deleted my Twitter account for a reason, Elon, leave me alone.

No one should be killed by ICE. Let's help this family get to their goal! #AbolishICE

"You're not trans enough to get killed," is not the compliment some might think it is. Inside thoughts are still a thing. Don't say this to...Well, anyone. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

Scene of today’s ICE murder in Minneapolis at approx 11:00 pm. Candles, flowers.

I’m at the spot where ICE murdered Renee Nicolle Good today, along with my daughter and her bf. Still lots of people here at 11:00 pm. (Avoiding getting anyone in the picture)

It’s beautiful, surreal but still mostly enraging. Abolish ICE.

Desperately need to see Kristi Noem unemployed and suffering. Ideally, she'd be in a prison cell, but I'll begrudgingly settle for withers away into obscurity and in a ditch somewhere.

The absolute bare minimum is the dissolution of ICE and the prosecution of all ICE employees, contractors, and leaders

It's so tragic & enraging. Renee would still be alive if ICE had never invaded Minneapolis. They weren't invited, it's a sanctuary city, and the Mayor just told them to GTFO today. The "agents" are just state funded thugs pumped full of hatred & racism. #AbolishIce #FuckIce

"I'm calling to demand the immediate dismantling of ICE for the murder of a woman in Minneapolis today and the impeachment of the President for his support of that murder" is the easiest call to my senators and representative I've ever made

Oh that's so cool!! Firefly was such a great show.

Tumblr post by and-fishing-equipment reading "in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD instead ask: - Is it SINCERE - is it CATHARTIC - was it FUN TO MAKE - is it MADE BY ME and don't forget to stay silly"

Seems there is yet another app using the ICEBlock logo and charging people for access. It’s called ICEBlocker and it is not us.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD or pay. Best we can tell is it’s Russian.

We would never ask for money.

The urge to start writing a new book when you haven't finished the 1st book ( #editing sucks leave me alone), and then you get an idea for a new fanfic universe, and then you want to get better at art while you're at it, and sure why not re-learn Japanese?!!

i think we can make it to 4K by the end of the week :)

Two little snowmen made of pine cones, cotton balls on top for heads, some pipe cleaners for arms and a couple of ice cream sticks for skis. One is blue and one is red.

A little snowman made of a pine cone, a cotton ball on top for a head some pipe cleaners for arms and a couple of ice cream sticks for skis. The hat is black felt with a little sparkly ball on top with blue skis. It says, "Jax' Snowbud" on the plate.

At the #library, sometimes we take a break from the books to do crafting! These lil pinecone snow buddies were perfect for a program & then turn around for a "Take n Make." A patron said, "These crafts help me feel joy, which can be hard to find these days."
Libraries and library programs matter!

Library staff are also very tired of people thinking it will help them with their legal troubles. PLEASE for the love of all that is holy, DO NOT use ChatGPT as a personal lawyer. That's not going to go well. Most counties in the US have free legal hotlines and most forms are on (dot)gov websites.

And I never bought an eReader of any kind, so always physical books, obvs.

To this point: Everything is a subscription and it doesn't even make the experience of anything better. Everything is an app and nothing works on a browser anymore. To that end, I'm hoarding CDs and Dvds. You can take my physical media from my cold, dead hands!!
