ABD status with no teaching load means I’m untethered from the academic calendar. Spring break came and went without me noticing. The end of the semester means nothing to me except a dark 3 months ahead with no stipend check. Just me and my dissertation, floating in the void lol #phdlife

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

A maybe-controversial ick I have about online bookish spaces is when people constantly share more “recs” for books on their TBRs than books they’ve actually read… #booksky #diversebooksky

Talking to one of my friends and we realized neither of us knows a woman with a master’s degree +, still in the workforce, with more than 2 kids. But we know plentyyy of men who fit that description. Really makes you think 🤨

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

My TikTok video quality is sooo bad because I live in a dim basement apartment and film on an iPhone 11 while my baby naps with the white noise machine on. But I’m just too cheap to invest in products that would make this a better experience lol

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Libraries are key institutions in a democracy. The Trump admin gutting IMLS is part of a broader agenda to undermine education, whitewash history, ban books, restrict access to public goods, & ensure we’re socially isolated. In case you needed another reminder that reading is political! #booksky

Someone in my poetry book club wanted to make her foray into fantasy, so on the recommendation of everyone and their mother she read…ACOTAR. Didn’t like it. She mostly reads historical fiction and likes found family so I recommended Babel and To Shape a Dragon’s Breath. #booksky #diversebooks

As a mood reader myself, I get not sticking to a TBR but I don't get continuously posting TBR videos and then neverrrr posting reviews/updates for those books! Like just stop posting TBR content at that point. Are we performing or are we reading? #booksky
