The org I work for is on Bluesky now! We’re continuing our work even with this shit administration. I’m not backing down! Please follow us and support ❤️ @latinoheritageus.bsky.social

fantasy and sci fi books you should definitely read in audiobook format. the experience is sooooo fantastic and the productions on all these books is phenomenal! #audiobooks #booksky #fantasybooksky #scifibooksky #audiobookrecs

If you're going to read 'Parable of the Sower' by Octavia E. Butler, please read the trigger warnings and be conscious that it is a difficult read. Yet, I believe it not only reflects our times, but our core practices. Here's my review of it. #parableofthesower

Black indie authors to support! List in comments cos alt text isn’t working for videos. #booksky #blackbooksky

One way to resist? Read more, use the library, buy from local bookstores, post reviews, talk about the books you're reading, read banned books. Anything to do with reading, and books, they seem to hate. Stay educated, and continue reading. #BookSky #ReadBannedBooks #ReadMoreBooks

Mother Monster is so back!

Noah Kahan backs Chappell Roan against former music exec. Jeff Rabhan and pledges to match her $25,000 donation to aid struggling artists: “I’m inspired by you. Happy to help get the ball rolling. Money where my mouth is!”

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Librarians say that taxpayers are already paying for low quality AI-generated ebooks in public libraries because libraries don’t have the resources to sort through the onslaught of new books. www.404media.co/ai-generated...

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do! www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

If you need more reason to why #CowboyCarter by #Beyonce is so culturally important and relevant, read this: bookmarksandheadphones.com/2024/04/15/b... I said what I said 💅

For years I’ve dreamed of having a space like this. And at 39 years old, I finally got it. It’s so peaceful and so girly and so me. 💕 #aestheticdesksetup

#CurrentRead I feel like this book will make me cry. Any book of Emeralda makes me cry. 🇵🇷 #BookSky #LatineBooks #EsmeraldaSantiago

It's February which means it's #BlackHistoryMonth & I've said before I love #BHM. This month, I'm going to share a resource with a focus on Black history that I had a hand in making every day. Starting today with my Slavery & Resistance in NYC Walking Tour: Slavery and Resistance in NYC Walking Tour

I know we feel very overwhelmed right now. If you can’t rest, and want to fight back with what you have, support your #locallibrary now more than ever. Use it as office space, they have WiFi! Read audiobooks, ebooks, hardcover or paperback books. 👇🏽

Let’s give libraries more money

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

This bill not only criminalizes educators and librarians but also places unnecessary barriers between students and the resources they need to thrive academically and personally. action.everylibrary.org/oppose_hb324...

I re-watched Beyonce's BLACK IS KING film and I'll never forgive some of y'all for sleeping on this masterpiece.

Kim Snyder’s new documentary “The Librarians” is a shocking look at the organized wave of book bannings sweeping the U.S. www.indiewire.com/news/festiva...

I love how many #blackauthors #queerauthors #nativeauthors #latineauthors and other authors of marginalized communities are ALL collectively getting their books out this year, writing their stories and fighting to get them published! The revolution will not be televised, for real! 📚 ✊🏽 #booksky

This! 👇🏽

✨🌈 The more you know 🌈✨

She has become one of my favorites. Her voice delivery and her songwriting alone are enough to make her one of the most talented artists today.

This, from @clintsmithiii.bsky.social, has been on my mind today.

Yep. That’s my movement too. #StayCalmOutOfSpite

Is so obvious this track was produced by Pharrell, cuz it’s an instant bop! #RauwAlejandro 🇵🇷❤️ ‘Cosa Nuestra’ album is on repeat!

#AnitadeMonteLaughsLast by Xochitl González is about two Latina artists navigating racism, misogyny, and privilege in the art world. I love reading this one! So powerful! #LatinaAuthors bookmarksandheadphones.com/2025/01/08/p... bookmarksandheadphones.com/2025/01/08/p...

I can’t believe Perry and Pauline are all grown up here 🥹 #warriorgirlunearthed #angelineboullet #nativebooks #indigenousauthors
