In an effort to make posting about books less stressful for me, I’m moving to a mostly text-based thread that points to review links. I think this should, in theory, be easier for me to maintain, and will hopefully lead to me having more friends in these spaces in turn. 👇🏾

Publishing for Minnesota is a response from bookish folks to ongoing ICE raids causing harm to immigrant communities, our neighbors across the country. Funds raised from the auction support those most impacted, in urgent need ❤️‍🩹

Auction opens Thursday, January 29 📚

Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.

The way that AI has made appropriation of Black culture reach new heights is especially fucking disgusting.
Got excited about a song only to find out it’s another Black AI artist. Hate it here

Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:

"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."

and

"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

If you’re over 30 and still awake instead of sleeping, get up and stretch that lower back and your hip flexors

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Stop comparing yourself to people especially with reading… I don’t care care how many books other people read…reading is not a competition…I do it for the love of reading and talking to my book friends…

I’ve been trying to attack my insomnia and have been consciously “listening” to the first wave of exhaustion my body shows at the end of the day but what’s the point when I wake up at 5am and it’s been an hour and I’m just like 😳

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

YES...The former prime minister of Israel, Ehud Barak, raped and choked Virginia Giuffre until she thought that she was going to die. Epstein made her go back the next day to be raped again.

Robert & Ghislaine Maxwell & Epstein were tied into Mossad who videotaped rich men having sex with children.

Finally posted my review of @sgj.bsky.social’s The Buffalo Hunter Hunter because my @aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social SE arrived. I feel like this book is so necessary—especially after a day like yesterday. We cannot afford to continue to cover up America’s violence.
