Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Bombing for peace is like burning books to promote literacy.

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

I got an ALC of Brighter Than Scale, Swifter Than Flame. Here are some brief thoughts! The world was rich and atmospheric. The main character was relatable and the story was interesting! The story was a little predictable but overall a solid 4 ⭐️! #booksky 🪐📚 #diversebooks

Moody Shelf chose How We End as our April book club pick, and I really enjoyed it! Here is a brief review. #booksky #diversebooks

Graphic with a photo of the book cover how we end by LM Juniper, a star rating of 5 stars and an icon showing this was read via audiobook. Review text says “How We End is a zombie apocalypse novel that kept me hooked and was filled with emotion. I absolutely love found family, it’s my favorite trope and I feel the trope was done so well in this book. This group of strangers are all so different from one another. They all have different struggles, lives, and personalities. However, I love the way they came together and utilized their individual knowledge to survive! The diversity of the cast really added to my enjoyment of this book.

The zombies and the setting were well-written and I could really feel myself in this atmosphere. I could visualize every scene with such clarity, everything really jumped off the page!

I do feel this book ended a little abruptly, I wanted just a little more. But that’s my only complaint! I’m glad my book club chose this book”

I just brewed a mystery potion that is sparkly. Effects are unknown. Do I drink it and find out? 😂

I have been participating in an online D&D group for almost a year now with some of my booktok besties. My husband (DM)created a perfect world for us in which we discovered a hidden library and became librarians. We travel the world to find missing books and return them which restores the library.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

I just love that he thought of and created something so perfect for the group. It could have just been any other D&D game but he really thought aobut our interest and has made the game something so unique for us. I just love it.
