Reading The City in Glass by @nghivo.bsky.social and I need a short story about Chanda like yesterday!!

Finished my pre-ordered copy of Daggerbound by @tkingfisher.com and here's my recap: -Zale makes an appearance (#blessed) -Main Character with undercover hero energy -A new species has entered the villa All in all, another hit by the author who doesn't fucking miss, 10/10.

Having a teenager is like watching someone load a firearm and you can’t ask them why or they shout at you, then ten minutes later you’re cleaning up blood and calling 911 while they patronizingly explain that they’ve been unexpectedly shot due to circumstances beyond their control.

Hi I’m Kim and I like to coordinate my bookmark to the book it’s in either in aesthetics or theme and that’s totally normal, right? Anyways everyone should read @nghivo.bsky.social at least so that if you don’t like her books I’ll know you can’t hang.

Birthday book for the “Deities on Earth” themed milestone year: I did NOT have “Akwaeke Emezi shortens Leviathan to Levi” on my gift book bingo card for this year, shame on me.

Mother’s Day breakfast on the deck, blessedly alone and quiet in the sun, with a new book: heaven. (@amalelmohtar.com is an always-read author for me, and absolutely supported that choice by adding footnotes to the preface for almost no other reason than to share a laugh with the reader)

My neighbors on the other side of the duplex just asked me if we got a new TV remote because something was interfering with their television, as if buttons were being pressed when they were not pressing any buttons.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but there is absolutely nothing stopping you from referring to the act of filling your birdfeeders as “recharging the cat TV”

Its primary Election Day here in NC, did y’all vote early or plan to vote today? Anyone else watching @nidaallam.bsky.social with champagne ready to go??

For right-wingers who want to preserve any sort of public career in a post-Trump reality without being constantly haunted by their past disgrace, "Renee Good's murder is a bridge too far for me" is one of the easiest off-ramps in the world. I think we should take note of who declines to use it.

Sohrab Ahmari thinks that the officer was in danger and had a right to kill Renee Good. He’s as bad as any MAGA.

"Well, he's a dictator whose people don't actually want him in charge" is an interesting precedent for this guy to set

I found Luna starting off the new year right by being ✨extremely sneaky✨ and watching the bird feeder.

Ending 2025 on this short story collection by @notsosuper.pub that my dear book friend picked up for me earlier this year 💖

Oooh I’m a traveling cleric, tasked with collecting the stories of every place I visit and returning them to the archive at the abbey.

I seem to be a Medjay detective.

When I say this book is terrible, I mean it as a compliment and using the definition “inspiring terror, sinister.” Begging everyone to read it and get back to me.

Happy book birthday to A Mouthful of Dust, standalone novella in the Singing Hlls Cycle, out today! This time, Cleric Chih and Almost Brilliant the hoopoe memory spirit are investigating the town of Baolin, famous for its pork recipe and its famine. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

I need the whole country to recognize that saying we are not in a constitutional crisis because Donald Trump has not openly defied a court order is like saying a man who throws things at you, threatens you, controls and belittles you, isn’t abusive because he hasn’t hit you. The “yet” is implied.

I used (maybe coined?) a phrase to describe a frustrating coworker that comes to mind when I read the news these days: incompetence feels like innovation to people who don’t understand the work.

Tbh you all should have gleened how this country feels about disabled people from the fact that anytime yall are nice to one of us it goes viral. Like that’s extra ordinary behavior.

fantasizing about a world where an opposition congress responds to trump’s attempts to usurp legislative power by defunding the entire white house staff

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

Some of y’all just saw Wicked for the first time and didn’t pick up that Glinda is not the hero because doing nothing never saves you

I cannot emphasize enough how we are in an era where everyone is to be treated like disabled people have always been treated.

Watching the ableds realize they are afraid of treatment the disabled have known as reality and tried to warn them about is WILD.

A three-judge panel for the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wrote that the "defendants do not cite any authority in support of their administrative stay request or identify any harm related to a specific funding action or actions that they will face without their requested administrative stay."

Today, Tituba is often portrayed as the sole non-white individual embroiled in the Salem witch trials. However, several other enslaved women and men were unfortunately drawn into the conflict as the panic wore on. Check out our blog to learn about two such individuals, Candy and Mary Black.

This quote from "Raybearer" by Jordan Ifueko hits pretty hard these days - "Monsters were nothing. The true terrors were people like me—the ones who saw suffering, who heard the screams of a hundred generations echoing for miles around them—and still did nothing." #BookSky 🩵📚

The country is a dumpster fire but I’m starting my #BlackAuthors for #BlackHistoryMonth reading so there’s that I guess.
