If you're feeling despair it's because you have a moral compass. It means you're not empty on the inside - that you nurse hope and a sense of justice in a cage next to your heart. You're one of my people and I'll stand with you. There are more of us than they want you to believe. Hold fast.

#Booksky: If you haven’t already, export your data from Goodreads (an Amazon company) and import it into StoryGraph, a book-tracking app founded and led by a Black woman.

Everything feels insignificant compared to the fall of the U.S. and the end of the world as we’ve known it. The grief is overwhelming. 🪦

I knew all this was going to happen. But nothing can really prepare you for what it feels like when the moment actually arrives. This is why we need each other and our communities. I plan to turn to them a lot in the coming years.

Daily reminder:

Find joy, it’s an act of resistance

Don’t cave into the fear, light always wins ✨

Good morning! This is your reminder to support your local library! Get your card and see what resources you have access to from programs and events to seed libraries, maker spaces and digital resources. Libraries are more than *just* books. (Although books are very lovely!)

Officially deleted X and am no longer using Goodreads. I have solid community on my bookstagram so that will be hard for me to let go of at the moment.. for now I’m searching for community here on #BookSky 📚👋🏽currently reading Parable of the Sower

Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books.

👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

I officially left that other app! 🤗
