If someone holds beliefs that go against my morals, I don't need their support. 🤷🏻♀️ So no, I don't care about my views affecting my "reputation." Books are political. Reading and writing are political. To be silent now (or in support of the current regime here) is to be on the wrong side of history.

Do ypu enjoy audiobooks? I love audiobooks and I love that they make reading accessible for more people! Accessibility benefits everyone, not just those who need it. #booksky #authorsky #bookishquestions
Have you ever bought a book just because it's had a pretty cover? While I've never bought a book solely because of a pretty cover, I obviously am drawn to books with nice covers. Covers are there to be judged. #booksky
Have you ever bought the same book twice because of a new cover? This particular marketing tactic has only worked on me once: My Hero Academia Volume 42. 🤣 I waffles on buying the exclusive cover but my husband told me to go for it. It was a momentous occasion, after all. 🤣 #booksky
I don't usually DNF books, but I CANNOT handle secondhand embarrassment after a certain level. But I also won't shame this book because it was actually kind of fun up until the second or third embarrassing scene was too much. 🤣 #booksky
Why I'm glad I deleted TikTok. I enjoy posting regularly and am going to try to find a new rhythm that works for me. #booksky #authorsky #tiktok #tiktokban #socialmedia
What's something you thought would be cool as a kid that turned out not to be? I DID get to use Daffy Duck return address labels on my graduation announcements, so I got to live out part of this incredibly mundane fantasy. I still don't understand why so many adults lack whimsy. #questionoftheday
I'm absolutely obsessed with @libbyapp.com - it has given me sooo many bookish benefits. I love supporting local libraries AND getting to read even more. #booksky

Why do I write spice-free? Because I want to and it fills a niche. I don't like spice-free literature being labeled as "clean." Spice isn't dirty or immoral, it's a fact of life. Spicy reads aren't more mature because of their content and spice-free reads don't have any sort of moral claim #booksky
My favorite bookish trend right now are Pünchkins book plushies! I am obsessed with these and I want more. More variety. More everything. I also want a navy blue one that relates to YA or fantasy or something so I can display it on my table, lol. #booksky
The U.S.-Iran ceasefire reportedly included Lebanon, but Israel has continued its attacks there. Wednesday was the deadliest day since the attacks began March 2. “Strikes brought down entire buildings that were packed with people,” says @ramzikaiss.bsky.social of @hrw.org in Beirut.

Listen to me get distracted, talking about my “melancholy” piece. I wanted to talk about the sadness but my mind went elsewhere with its textures. It’s one of my personal favs of my own work. I’ll prob keep talking about it because there’s so much on this piece that short vids won’t do it justice 🖤

Pope Leo XIV: I hear very troubling accounts of algorithms that can block access to healthcare, employment, and security. Nuclear disarmament remains a service to peace. AI now demands to be disarmed, freed from logics that turned it into an instrument of domination, exclusion, and death.

Cory Doctorow : "We need to make tech workers unionized again ... because tech workers that aren't working behind a keyboard, those tech workers, they're peeing in bottles or being injured at 3x the national rate in an Amazon warehouse. That's how tech bosses treat workers they're not afraid of."

Capping insulin costs at $35 has broad, nationwide bipartisan support, and my INSULIN Act would do just that. With cosponsors from 11 states and counting, I'm committed to getting this passed. Let's keep building momentum and pass this bill.

It's not enough to remember the darker chapters of our past, we have to realize the darker chapters of our present. This moment in history is bigger than politics, this is about who we are and what we intend to leave to our children.
