Now that I've fled Leon's site for bluer skies, I'm sure I'll be called an #Ex-X, but personally, I'll always consider myself a #TwitterQuitter.

Thanks to all the amazing librarians on Bluesky I am currently walking into my local library that I have never visited despite living in this town for seven years. ❤️ #Libraries

Given people are actually interacting on here (madness), please could you give me your recommendations for the best legal thrillers (books, film, drama)? I’ve already read/seen loads but I need more.

Time for my daily overshare! I was a ghostwriter for a long time. Long enough to have written 20 books no one will ever know came from me. Today is the first day that I haven’t had an edge of guilt connecting with other writers. I’m not a fraud. I’m a goddamned published author, & I did it my way

I'm still very lost on here. The poets have organized and gathered, but with my weird threads and random interests on twitter. This starter pack is an attempt to include some of those names, though many are missing. Just a messy attempt.🙏 We need a book twitter list too? go.bsky.app/Feh35s1

Look I’m just a girl with a PhD and some data who testifies to legislative committees full of men who tell me CO2 is plant food and the climate’s always changing and now you want me to stand up for pasteurized milk, Darwin, and the germ theory of disease? Sure. But you’re gonna need more biologists.

I like that people introduce themselves here. I'm an author & journalist in Glasgow. I've written books on graveyards & churches, & am busy writing a new one that I'm looking forward to sharing. I enjoy: standing stones, fallen leaves, old records, old books & an old rabbit of whom I have the care.

“Yesterday I visited my son's school and I saw a bright colored bench in the yard. I asked if it was new. He said to me, ′′no, that's the ‘friend’s bench.’ When someone is down, they'll sit there so others find them." To me, that’s how finding Bluesky feels. Follow us if you’d like a friend! 💙

I just learned that Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. An alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform (and yes it's really easy to transfer your lists from Goodreads to StoryGraph). You know, while we're moving things.

Public library attacks are coming to your local library. Get a card & use it, or you might just lose it.

I don't know who needs to hear this, everyone I think, but if you send a PDF to your kindle and put 'convert' as the subject it will change it to epub format for you, you're welcome (I posted this on the other place and was surprised by how many people it helped so thought I'd do it here too.)

This is a good idea, both in this context, but also more broadly speaking to other things they might corrupt or delete.

Forgive me if I’m not bullish that the man who appointed Sidney Powell to seize voting machines is planning on free and fair elections going forward.

Sorry, I know this is upper level shallow. But I've waited 30 years as a published author to see one of my books in an actual bookshop and today was the day! Thanks Leeds Waterstones. (In distinguished company, too!)

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

I sat with some MAGA folks today, they seemed emboldened, and that makes sense. But as they talked I fact checked their claims, their beliefs, their stories. Every one of them was false. They don't know what they don't know. Ignorance is the fuel of MAGA!

WTF is going on here at Blue Sky? People are civil to each other. People having intelligent discussions. People are spelling things correctly. I haven’t seen any racism or sexism. I’m confused.
