Something I did not anticipate with deleting TikTok is that it’s been harder than I expected to fill that niche in my mental ecosystem. Yes, passive dopamine machine, but one that could also be informative, creative, and surprising. I need a replacement, but I have no idea what, and maybe not videos

Imagine watching that sermon and thinking it was "nasty." We elected a man who thinks mercy has no place in a house of worship. God help us.

all the #BookTok slander I’ve been seeing the past few days by other bookish communities is quite frustrating ngl. While yes, the most popular side of BookTok definitely has its issues, the side I was on always recommended diverse books and championed marginalized authors. #diversebooks

One thing before tomorrow: Use your local libraries. Get your card. Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks. Recommend titles for purchase (usually online). Attend promoted activities. Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires. Tell your kids that libraries are good. They are. 📚

Now is a good time to get those banned books into your personal library. I fear they’ll disappear.

I am scared for my friends, my family, my cats, my livelihood, and my ability to eat safe food. If I focus on the fear, I'll come apart. So I do what I can, send my letters, make my calls, support as strength allows, and hope that can be enough. I was built to whistle past graveyards, not dig them.

People, buckle up tight. You're going to see a barrage of awful in the coming hours. Those of you who thought TikTok was your most pressing issue are in for a very RUDE awakening. Check on your loved ones, SAVE your money. For guidance, seek a Black elder.. there are plenty who survived Jim Crow.

View on my last visit to Sherrod’s Senate office in Washington. So much change was coming for our country. But I heard our grandchildren’s laughter nearby and felt the hope in that. Life is never one thing. We are in this together, friends & kind strangers. Knowing that gives me so much strength.

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school. Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.

Man, this whole TikTok situation has really, really bad vibes and for people watching this and everything else going on and still thinking things are just going to be fine, I hope reality sets in and they can prepare accordingly.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

TikTok is back but like, in the way your long lost son appears on your doorstep after a mysterious disappearance & he looks & sounds the same but he’s harboring a dark secret and ok lemme turn off Lifetime

I said this in November, but PICK UP A BOOK… especially the banned ones!

submitted 35 days ago • 16 comments

Writing a book sounded like such a romantic idea… until I realized it’s just staring at a blank page, overthinking every word, and consuming enough coffee to fuel a small city. Who knew the hardest part of storytelling would be convincing myself to stop ‘researching’ and actually write?

they’re banning books that are about what happens when books are banned.

Good morning! This is your reminder to support your local library! Get your card and see what resources you have access to from programs and events to seed libraries, maker spaces and digital resources. Libraries are more than just books. (Although books are very lovely!)

Lazy Sunday morning rewatching season 7 of Outlander. How did we finish season 7 of Outlander the same weekend we lost TikTok, when we’re about to go through the re-inauguration of 45, AND Onyx Storm comes out in 2 days?? Are we sure there’s no full moon too this weekend? Jeeze.

If you’re a #booktok refugee, I hope #booksky can fill that hole for you. I know it’s not the same but I’ve found my community here and I hope it does the same for you. I, for one, would love to hear about your favorite reads, talk about the hottest new book boyfriend, badass FMCs and plot twists🦋

I could write a 100 post long thread about everything I gained from TT. The ADHD community helping me figure out life, the journalists on the ground reporting on events in far away countries, the passionate creators encouraging me to learn new subjects that I never though I'd find interest in 1/2
