Elon Musk said there is "too much focus on past guilt in Germany" and as a German-American, we do not feel guilty for the sins of ours parents/grandparents. We DO however acknowledge what has been done and realize the responsibility we carry to never let it happen again. #holocaustrememberanceday

Okay, I’m hoping this will gain some traction on Bluesky *inhales* SALEM PUBLIC LIBRARY IN OREGON IS IN DANGER OF CLOSING. This sets a dangerous precedent for state capital libraries!!
This is a continuation of the saga from last year, when we were saved at the last second by the then-mayor. (1/2)

Just finished Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid and it was so good. I love these books that feel like a classic fairytale ❤️ Romance, mystery, tragedy. This one has it all. 4/5⭐️

Remember that you were raised on stories about hyperindividualistic chosen ones where saving the entire world is the minimum win condition.
It's fine to tune your expectations down from that a smidge. You're not going to dethrone god today but maybe do something nice for your neighbors.

How do other authors cope writing heartbreaking scenes in their novels? Do I just break down over my laptop? Do I brush it off and act like nothing ever happened? Nobody ever prepared me for this part of writing! 😭 #authorsky #booksky

One thing before tomorrow:
Use your local libraries.
Get your card.
Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.
Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).
Attend promoted activities.
Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.
Tell your kids that libraries are good.
They are.

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

"Der antifeministische Backlash wurde nicht durch den Kampf der Frauen um volle Gleichberechtigung ausgelöst, sondern durch die Tatsache, dass ihre Chancen gestiegen waren, diesen Kampf zu gewinnen. Es handelt sich um einen Präventivschlag, der die Frauen weit vor der Ziellinie stoppt."

The next four years are going to be tough. They are going to be scary. Trust me, I saw the inside of Trump world closer than most. I'm not going to stop doing my work, no matter what. We are going to get through this together. My only ask, don't get disenchanted. Don't run away. Stick with me here.

Detective on tv: Suspect is not what we'd call an organized killer
Me in my lair: OK first off its called executive disfunction and I've started using an app that's better than the last app
Detective: Luckily the victim survived due to the killer somehow forgetting where he put his knife
Me: ableism

I've never been huge on social media, as in posting about myself, but seeing so many amazing new authors debuting on Tiktok was a huge inspiration and I met so many wonderful souls on there just by being in the comments. I hope this isn't the end, but all the same, I miss booktok so much already 😔
