As a reviewer I have a lot to say about this topic. Here is the thing I say most often: Did the review spell your name right, and the name of your book correctly, too? YOU WIN. Go home. Celebrate. There is nothing more to do. Someone. Talked. About. Your. Book.

I inHALED this audiobook this weekend, lining up chores and puttering tasks so I could keep listening. It's a mystery and a commentary on the value of women's time and labor, and there's a little bit of romance, too. OH, and an MLM you WILL recognize. Want to read my review? bit.ly/3Id4ZvS

Transferred the @smartbitches.bsky.social Summer Reading Challenge to my bullet journal. Halfway through my first read (Katherine Center's The Love Haters) which will fill the bad weather plot slot.

"Publicity turns consumption into a substitute for democracy. The choice of what one eats (or wears or drives) takes the place of significant political choices. Publicity helps to mask and compensate for all that is undemocratic within society." John Berger, Ways of Seeing

Juneteenth has been a state holiday in Texas since 1980, largely due to the work of Al Edwards, Houston native & TX state representative for District 146. He spent 19 years building support for a Federal Juneteenth holiday & although he died in 2020, his dream became reality in 2021.

In popular culture, menopause is typically associated with hot flushes. In our Menopause: What's Changed? exhibition, we invite visitors to drop a pebble if they experience any of these symptoms. And it turns out, hot flushes are much less common than brain fog or mood symptoms!

I really need people to stop saying XYZ is “a distraction.” THEY TOLD US THAT THEY WERE GOING TO FLOOD THE ZONE WITH EVIL SHIT. It all matters! XYZ might not be your fight, but please stop acting like XYZ is not *someone’s* fight, and that their fight is less important than yours.

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

Have you noticed how The Thursday Murder Club has become the aesthetic for Cozy Mystery, Perhaps UK? It's like when every book looked like 50 Shades, or before that, Twilight. smartbitchestrashybooks.com/2025/06/fift...

When Black people told you that it is a normal occurrence for police to lie about protest and assaulting officers now you see ... the test run for the justification of authoritarianism always begins in communities of color

This is SO TRUE. I think @tressiemcphd.bsky.social has talked about how American culture, especially White American Culture, is based on and focused on consumption. (If I have that wrong, Dr. M apologies.) Purchases are identity - this is why books are becoming decorative objects. ⬇️
