I'm heartbroken, I'm proud, I'm a multitude of things I can't fully verbalize but I hope that this ends before we all lose the sky and the warm faces and hands that bring us a little light and joy every day. I love you all I love you all I love you all.
Hi friends, I am sharing this with permission. This is a newsletter I subscribed to from a woman who is a quilter. I started following her on YouTube a little over a year ago when I started my quilting journey, she lives in Minnesota.

Incredible, deserved. Sitting at the head of the table where it belongs.
Congratulations to #Sinners for breaking records and setting #AcademyAwards history with 16 nominations!

It's really indicative of why we're still having this battle more than 5 years on. People don't want to have the conversations about queer books or queer kids. It's easier to point to The Handmaid's Tale or 1984. Otherwise, we'd have to address society's deeply-baked homophobia.

I will never be one for graphics so instead, I decided to hand write a list of the books I loved the most this year. They are in no particular order, but I think if you threatened to take my lunch money to pick I would be hard-pressed to choose between The Antidote & The Buffalo Hunter Hunter❣️

Hearing murmurs that publishing houses are pushing editors to use AI in their work. How can writers help employees push back against this? If you work in publishing & don’t feel comfortable replying directly, I am opening up my DMs.

The store I work for was the other day, the third highest grossing store in the entire company. I’m so immeasurably proud of my team and a community that is is consistently supporting reading. I’m so lucky to work in the store that I do . Fostering a great community of readers matters so much.
