White women are good at talking about misogyny but use it as a cover to dismiss issues of race. And yes, as @sunsetandecho.bsky.social will remind you, it has everything to do with their hair. buff.ly/IvSUgIj

I finished this #book a few weeks ago—wow! What a gripping tale about the creeping nature of intergenerational colonial violence and prejudice. I couldn't get enough from beginning to end. The rural Midwest setting and supernatural ambiance were visceral and nebulaic. Best read this year! #BookSky

Oksana Marafioti on Nightshade, my forthcoming novel from Assembly Press: "Zelda’s desire to be seen—by wealth, by power—meets the fierce love and warning of Romany women who know the cost. This is a novel about work and hunger, inheritance and passing, and the thin veil between rescue and trap."

I can't believe more people aren't talking about this #book! I love stories about trickster characters with a heart of gold, and this children's book doesn't shy away from depicting the harsh realities of being a child in medieval times. The colorful Silk Road cast was also so fun! #BookSky #bookrec

This book. Wow. I can only say it's not magical realism, it's... magric TRICK realism. You fall into it as though it is a fantasy but, everything that happens is mundane and you're still left satisfied. Rather like Samir himself. SO meta! Very much worth a read....or two #goodbooks

I was hooked on this all the way to Seattle! We don't often get stories about kids in wartime that aren't depressing, or stories about how arbitrary political boundaries really are and the people who get caught in between. Add some language communication difficulties and I'm yours! #bookrec #books

Ethical art is art that treats everyone involved in the process (from materials to production to creative labor) fairly and with respect—not art that adheres to a specific set of content guidelines. Don't confuse genre trappings or marketing buzzwords with the real obligations we have to each other.

mass layoffs at Pixar despite Toy Story 5 about to cross $1 billion at the box office. there is simply no amount of money that will make corporations happy enough to not upend people’s lives.

I read 𝘊𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 while recovering from surgery! Before it, I'd never seen such a relatable & detailed account of #genderfluidity that didn't pander to cisnormative ideas about bigenderism. The encounters with Southern culture & nature were fun too. If you need a new #Pride #book, here. #bookrec

Even Broken Bells Can Rings Songs of Broken Bells cover: It features the four main characters Líadan, Minno, Aila, and Vasil arranged in a diamond and all holding candles. Aila’s wings are wrapped around them. The top of the page is a stained glass window with a sun on one side and shadows on the other and strings of broken bells hanging down from the sides Cover art by Heavenlystarr Blurb: The hungry flame inside Líadan has been silent, kept hidden, for the last fifteen years. But something has called out to it, awakening it from its slumber. And it is oh so ready to burn. Vasil, her best friend and the one sworn to end her life should her magic reappear, defies his pact and spares her life. He vows to keep her safe, no matter the cost. Minno, a follower of the saint of truth, was never meant to find themselves caught up in the wildfire of Líadan’s life. But the fates must have had another path in mind for them. Aila, daughter of the god of entropy, promises herself as Líadan’s only chance at surviving the torment of the hungry flame. Though, perhaps even the child of a god lacks faith sometimes. Their fates are intertwined in the never ending motion of the Maelstrom, and it is their choice alone to decide it they walk the road the fates set before them, or choose another path. https://buy.bookfunnel.com/rktaq3muij
