This is actually a great idea.

If MAGA ragebaiters come to your campus, play Disney music wherever they are. Disney doesn't play about their copyrights.

Don't forget: I loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter.

It's a lot. Good, but a lot. I was not prepared for the way it ended. You'll see.

Yeah, she was super effed up though. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper effed up. Like pathologically so.

Per CNN: "The order also “urges” federal law enforcement officers who operate in Chicago “to refrain from wearing masks, to wear and use body cameras and to identify themselves to members of the public with names and badge numbers”

Not exactly a ban. It's a start, but the fascists are so far ahead

I'm like that with authors I like. Down the rabbit hole I go

I can hold off as long as possible before reading a entire book series. Once I start reading a book series I want to read every book and be done with it completely. #books #blackbooksky #booksky #reading #bookclub #writing #author #bookstagram

Finished The Water Dancer and wow! Coates did that. Have long dug his essays and whatnot but this is a whole other level. Great character dev, great story arc, well researched, just a damn good book and a wonderful read. Pick it up!

Maaaaaaan, I effin love the way P. Djèlí Clark writes. Recently finished The Dead Cat Tail Assassins and he's just so damn clever. All kinds of little asides and inside references and jokes. Ring Shout is my favorite of his, but this is a damn good read.

Yeah, totally get that.

Might make my top 10, but certainly not in my top 5. You know what they say about opinions though...

Not saying it's the best, but my favorite is Bowfinger. Trading Places and 48 Hours are very close runners up. (That's assuming Raw and Delirious aren't in the mix.)

I have Discord but I rarely use it. I keep track of most of my reading in StoryGraph

Just finished Braiding Sweetgrass and it's equal part infuriating, informative, and hopeful. It's grounding in a way I didn't fully expect and low-key funny. I think Kimmerer is only the 2nd indigenous author I've read (w/ Alexie) and I need to change that.

That's a great book. You really can't go wrong with Hopkinson at all. Not the novels, not the short stories, it's all incredible. Check out P. Djèlí Clark and Rivers Solomon when you're ready for other rabbit holes to fall down.

Finished Death Of The Author (Nnedi Okorafor) and it's a truly excellent book. 2 even. The way she weaves everything together is masterful and I absolutely did not expect the ending. Masterful storytelling
