This book was SO GOOD!! If you like soft sci-fi and time travel, you need to read this! 📚 #booksky #amreading

The audiobook cover of Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel. It's a deceptively simple cover.. a moonrise over a field and hill.

The sign I've been taking to protests lately

Yep.. I think that's a succinct summation of the current state of things 🤷🏼‍♀️ we're so fucked.

I wish I'd read this before making my grocery order 😬 #booksky 📚

I hope Joni Ernst leads by example..

Tweet that says: just now at Joni Ernst's town hall in Butler county, Iowa, she responded to the fact that people will die due to cuts to SNAP and Medicaid by saying, "well we are all going to die." Below the text is an image of Ernst.. she looks like the kind of woman who makes people in the service industry cry.. for fun.

Picture of Barack Obama with the words "Obama appreciation day June 14th 2025"

I heard that cops are encouraged to read this to learn how to manipulate people.. so I'm reading it. Can't use the judo on me if I know it, too 😂 #booksky 📚

Such a good book..

Awyn @awyn717.bsky.social · May 18

Sure would be nice if we had some way to predict and track storms.. or if there was some kind of agency that came in and helped communities when things like this happen 🤷🏼‍♀️ Elect a r*pist.. expect to get f*cked.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked:

-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Tucson is awesome.. but it's definitely not the norm for Arizona. I'm a little southwest of there and my neighbors are cheering the kidnappings (and tariffs) and flying more Trump flags than ever. They believe what they're told by Trump, not the things they can see with their own eyes.

Welp, that made me even more stressed 😅 #booksky 📚
