When I first started hitting the gym I would bribe myself into going by getting a coffee after- now I'm trying to save money. I think it's perfectly logical to put $4 Into a book fund every time I go now instead of spending $7 on a coffee 😅 Now the question is what book will I buy first? #booksky

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

I've been feeling pretty powerless lately. People talk about committing to one thing to help our country and I feel like I have nothing to contribute. So I'm going to comit to making the world around me cleaner. It's an action I *can* do that makes a direct impact on those around me. Today's haul.

Find joy. Find peace. Find love. And once you've found it- spread it. These things will be increasingly hard to find over the next several years- we must not let them disappear. They can coexist with anger, awareness, and action. All are necessary.

The forest, trees, fungi, birds, animals ~ they teach us about interconnectedness, diversity, patience, reflection, the cycle of life, harmony 🌳 🍄 For me, the stuff that really matters 🌲 🦔

I have two reading modes... I don't read at all, or I spend *hours* reading. I forget this sometimes and start reading at 10pm 😅 #booksky

Today and in the coming days, remember

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Just a little thing I wrote tonight 💚

Before we continue with mass following #booksky there’s probably some things I should share about my beliefs:

🖤 Human rights are for ALL
🖤 Pronouns will be respected
🖤 ALL forms of reading are reading
🖤 ALL genres are welcome
🖤 Diversity is a strength
🖤 Championing equality
🖤 Halloween year round

This shake down of TikTok is Trump’s long con.

Trump started the TikTok ban, but has now flipped-flopped to play the hero while looking to enrich new owners (his donors).

There is nothing in this post about protecting American’s data, Trump’s original justification for the ban.

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!

Anybody with me?

Spent about 10 minutes on Facebook for the first time in awhile- I forgot how much anxiety it brings! Back to my safety of Bluesky and tiktok 💚
