This one isn't mine, but it rings true: "We live in a society where conservatives believe in magical weather control machines but not climate change. "

A common post-reading response to How to Make Friends With the Dark tbh

When “I’ll just read a chapter” turns into *whoops I stayed up and finished the whole book*

(The book was How to Make Friends with the Dark by @kathleenglasgow.bsky.social if anyone’s curious)

Menstrual equity, or equitable access to menstrual products, should be an inherent right for all menstruators. ⤵️

Someone tell Fetterman that the Dems are in the minority and are incapable of shutting down the government. Thanks.

U.S. Senator John Fetterman @fetterman.senate.gov · Mar 11

The weeks of performative “resistance” from those in my party were limited to undignified antics.

Voting to shut the government down will punish millions or risk a recession.

I disagree with many points in the CR, but I will never vote to shut our government down.

My local bookstore gave away a bunch of advance copies of books from 2024. Last night I read ‘The Glass Girl’ by @kathleenglasgow.bsky.social
It was good - I stayed up until very late to finish it. I was struck by how authentic the voices of the teens were and the embrace of complexity. 1/

In a new interview, @samiraahmed.bsky.social talks about 'soft censorship,' an overlooked, pervasive phenomenon that's almost certainly blocking children & teens' access to books in their schools. It's also a phenomenon that's nearly impossible to measure. www.themarysue.com/our-situatio...

Although books can expose people to new people and places, whether books also have health benefits beyond other types of reading materials is not known. This study examined whether those who read book...
