re: my #2025classicschallenge - I fear I will not be including them as options for my "top monthly reads" because I cannot make P&P my top read of the year. (I mean, I can, but I'm going to limit it to new-to-me books)

Honestly, men in Dodgers, Cubs, and Yankees caps no matter who's playing are almost as repulsive as a maga hat.

Black History Month still exists, Kendrick is a poet, @altnps.bsky.social will lead the revolution, trans kids must be protected, and I'll be the one with the banned books in The After. Feel free to borrow one anytime.

I just saw that dad-est dad who has ever dad-ed at this book sale. "I don't always stop to look at trains - wait, yes I do" t-shirt, jorts, white Aviva sneakers, grey crew socks, epic mustache, silver wire glasses. I'm charmed.

Y'all see the halftime show of the Pulitzer winner speaking on how America is built on the backs of black men? If you missed that, you might wanna take a 2nd look. Here's a stack ft another Pulitzer winner: Toni Morrison. Baldwin wasn't awarded the prize, but he should've been. #blackhistorymonth

The moment in You've Got Mail where Joe walks around the bend after Brinkley, and does that apologetic little shrug when Kathleen sees him - one of the top most wholesome scenes in cinema. Fight me.

I ordered Bishop Budde's book yesterday. Hopeful to see that it's the no. 1 seller everywhere - a beacon of light in this dark time. If you ever wondered if our books are real - where the FMC becomes the reluctant hero who sparks the flame that carries the resistance - well, now you know. #BookSky💙📚

Now, more than ever, libraries and library staff need your support and advocacy. Because, per Project 2025, Trump is coming for us. Last administration he tried to slash funding for museums and public libraries. We need you to IMMEDIATELY push back if he does it again. #booksky #librarysky

"the sin of empathy" These people are broken on every level, including a species one. Giving a damn about each other is what transformed our prehistoric ancestors from living in herds to living in troops. To be anti-empathy is to be anti-human.
