I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS.

I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

Finally getting to see @libbabray.bsky.social on a book tour this week 😍 I missed my chance in 2008 for the sweet far thing and I’ve regretted that moment ever since 🤣

Anyway if you haven’t heard her newest book Under the Same Stars is out and it’s AMAZING. I’ve been annotating the heck out of mine

A periodic reminder: if you are in America, you almost definitely live near a library. Libraries are some of the last third spaces left, and the employees genuinely want you to get the information you need, without selling you stuff. Help them however you can.

In case you missed it, I spent a week reading books with Pop Art Covers

I can’t say I loved any as much as I loved their covers but I had fun!

Hello!! I don’t have a lot of booksky content yet (I’m a bit all over the place) but I’m a bookish girly and will be getting more into it.

The oligarchs cling to MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech—because dreams aren’t a threat.

They hide this—we will have to pay the bill while they keep TAKING and distracting us with HATE for each other so that we won’t notice.

They don’t want you to know about Martin Luther King’s “One Penny” speech…

I’m anti Amazon for all things that I have the means of obtaining elsewhere. If you are only on Amazon than it’s okay to use it for that. If you cannot avoid Amazon it’s okay to use them.

For those with a choice, avoid. But where there is no choice it’s okay💙

Just so we’re clear:
1. Audiobooks count
2. Reading is political
3. The orange man is a piece of 💩

Thanks for stopping by 💃

The inverted flag isn’t disrespect — it’s a distress signal from naval traditions, used to show grave danger to life or property.

With a lawless man set to take power after attempting to overthrow the government, America is in extreme danger.

That’s why I’m posting it today.

Fuck america. Fuck trump. Fuck everyone who let this happen.

Fuck reaching across the aisle. You welcomed facism into this country to make yourself feel better while your neighbors drown and I will never forgive you.

IF WE BURN YOU BURN WITH US.
