BHM Book 3: Highly Suspicious & Unfairly Cute. Me, a person who DOES NOT read romance thought this was freaking adorable. It had authentic mental health rep, queer rep, and a thick main character that was not trying to lose weight. #taliahibbert #blackbooks #blackauthors #blackhistorymonth #booksky

Post the cover of a book you love from the 90s. I thought it would be nearly impossible to pick something from the 1990s. Then I looked at my favs from the 1890s and things didn't get easier. #booksky #bookchallenge #readingchallenge This is my take on #whychoose 🤣

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

I listened to this after finishing both of these fine books. I love both of these authors (and @claymcleod.bsky.social of course) even more! Don't miss it!
Fearmongers is now live & listenable!

Clay digs deep with authors Bethany C. Morrow (THE BODY) & Gemma Amor (ITCH!) into the terrors of 2026.

BHM Book 2: The Body by Bethany C. Morrow. I was conflicted about whether I enjoyed this until I watched an interview with the author about her inspiration & target audience. Also... I liked the end.

My first 5 star book in February and my first Black History Month book. Burn Down Master's House. "Don't let them take what they can't touch." Thanks #NetGalley and #KensingtonPublishing for an advanced reading copy. My honest opinion: app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/573c...

For Black History Month, I'm reading Black-authored books in as many genres as possible. I've got quite a long list in my mind and I want to hear from YOU! What are your favorite and/or must-read Black books? Fiction or nonfiction.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Across the country, Americans are rejecting the terror and violence being caused by these lawless thugs.

The Trump Administration must immediately end their operations in Minnesota and across the country before they cause any more harm, and the Senate must reject any additional funding for DHS.

Working families in the U.S. want healthcare, not warfare. We want ICE out of our communities. We want a government that answers to us, not billionaires.

And we need to make sure Congress continues to hear us.

The White House has launched a webpage to report "media bias" tips. It would be a pity if it were flooded with tips about every show on Fox News.

Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like — but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

I believe in NTEN's ability to do great work and help create an equitable world every day. 2025 has been rough, y'all. We appreciate anything you can do to help us keep advancing equity in tech.
