Day 543: Some Recent Finishes! #booksky

Haven't been posting, mostly working and taking care of life in this current climate. Stay safe everyone. Heres some reading updates;

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Day 491: Finished this awesome trilogy by Brynne Weaver. I'm sad it's over honestly, but she did leave a hint for her next book in the epilogue. So we'll see ;_; Serial killer ladies fall for murderous men who are protective & most if not all the victims deserve it. So. Good. #booksky

When one neurodivergent friend sends another neurodivergent friend their late in the day first meal of the day & that friend realizes they haven't eaten either so they do.... an angel gets its wings or something I'm pretty sure 🪽 Read it in a book somewhere.

D486: 1. I acknowledge Fifty Shades is not well written & bad BDSM rep. I am still going to reread it so I can read Greys POV trilogy for the first time. If I can do the whole thing; that would be a first. 🤣 We'll see. 2. The Stars Too Fondly was really cute ❤️ I wanted more. Alt text

ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

I'm homeless,disabled, & queer. If 22 people could find $20 to help me, I'll be able to make it another month, & I can continue working to help my homeless, disabled, & queer neighbors & myself, & working my way through the healing process towards being less dependent. Please help me be seen. 💕💸

Day 474 My mother was here plus I was busyyy with work so I didn't get much reading done but I finished Between the World and Me, fantastic & moving read.

Some of the folks I work with make me wonder how they function day to day much less how they do our job.

@golden.house.gov I pray for you & your fellow cronies that voted for the SAVE act every awful thing that can possibly happen to you & your families. Double if it passes the Senate. Amen. Xoxo, A veteran family.

This is where I'm at with playing polite with politics anymore. At this point, I consider these acts & ones like them as a threat of harm to my life & my daughters. Politicians who don't stand up to this shit & the Trump cult are TRAITORS to the American people & deserve jail & far worse.

Oh, the irony 😂—talk about paid protesters! MAGA has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk in Pennsylvania, alleging he failed to pay individuals who gathered signatures for a petition during the 2024 presidential campaign.

Day 466 [yesterday]: Doing good so far on all 3 of the books I'm reading. Rifqa by Mohammad El-Kurd 74% Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates 41% & Out of Oz by Gregory Maguire 31% Got a little time in for work, ready for tomorrow just TIREDDDD. #booksky

Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

"They will imagine a rifle on my tongue and fix themselves fetuses in the corner, cover their ears in fear of the firecrackers and horses and rockets I've stuffed in my bag." From Rifqa by Mohammad El-Kurd "Crows"

Major alert: Montana may be about to pass a major anti-trans bill that charges parents with felony endangerment of a child if their child is on trans youth care. It would apply to parents just passing through the state, visiting. Would be the first law of its kind to pass anywhere. Vote is TODAY.

Day 463: Finished another book yesterday, Starting on Between the world and me by Ta-Nehisi Coates It's read by the author & his voice is captivating

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

Break down of what small business owners are facing. #tariffs #EconSky

I don't think "funny/parody" MAGA red hats are as funny as they think. From a distance, I still think you're MAGA. And I'm not getting close enough to you to see if it's a joke.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

Day 458: Finished Kimberly Lemming's new book. absolutely hysterical and stupid and fantastic. Lots of spice. I love a good throuple too. Glad I finally got to read it. #booksky

March Roundup #booksky 8 Books this month ❤️ Fantasy heavy month. I unpaused a book so disregard the avg time to finish haha.

Hey #booksky #booktok Looking for recommendations for books about MCs with chronic pain. Extra want: there's some kind of anxiety/audhd situation too. Additional incentive for books by authors that fall into one or all categories: Queer Disabled Black/Brown
