The only way I can think of to describe reading unexpected smut as an ace/demi person is this: like walking in on your friend/roommate having sex. You know they HAVE sex, but you were not expecting to see them having it. You slam the door, flip through the pages, apologizing.😨🤣 #Ace #Booksky 🌶️📚

A valiant effort by the Democratic Senator from Washington! Fortunately we only need 4 Republicans to understand that their Big Ugly Budget will needlessly kill 10s of 1000s of us every year & vote NO to #KillTheBill! Call 202–224-3121 even if you’ve already done so. They’re feeling the heat!

Not ONCE are the two major American political parties mentioned in my book by name. Ever. Those parties are dead. My book is about moving away from parties to focus on moral questions/voter compassion, not "who should be in power". The people should be in power. Period. #Booksky #USDemocracy

I gave my (vaccine hesitant) mom BOOSTER SHOTS last month, & she called me today because she finished it. She told me that she finally understands why vaccines shouldn't be an individual decision‼️ Buddy reading & discussing books with good information/storytelling can make a difference! #BookSky

‘You can it from me that any man who slanders the female sex does so because he has an evil mind, since he’s going against both reason and nature. Against reason, because he is lacking in gratitude. Against nature, in that even the birds and beasts love their mate.' Christine de Pizan, b. 1365

Indie authors already have a LOT to deal with to get their work out there without the forced changes/cost a traditional publisher brings. If you want to keep reading books with original, uncensored ideas then STOP using AI and support your indie authors by buying directly. #IndieAuthors #Booksky

Again, I’m not sure how voting for a rapist makes people feel safe. This is about does this guy think his money is safe, not his neighbors.

This was a blast to read! It covered a range of themes, but they all came back to the horrors and tenacity of gardens and their gardeners. As a gardener myself, facing many of nature's pests, I gave it 4.5 stars! #Booksky #BookReview

Not Japan-related, but since we all need a distraction from The Horrors, Takaya Suzuki points out a study that examined 408 sleeping cats and found the majority (65%) curl leftwards. I'm not sure how useful this information is, but...it's yours now.

It is the birthday of the storyteller who wrote, “Many people lose the small joys in hope of the big happiness.” Author Pearl S. Buck was born on this day in 1892. #BookSky #Writer #Author #History #OTD

Books aren't meant to be universally adored. If you don't like something you read, it's not personal. It's just not for you. And, as authors, our job isn't to make ourselves palatable for everyone. It's to make our stories essential for the reader who needs it more than anyone else.

Remember all those scares about Halloween candy stuffed with razors/needles in them being thrown into people's backyards? New idea: we start doing that with banned books that contain all the Scary Ideas inside them and see what happens. #Booksky #BannedBooks #YesImEvil

Men, especially white men, have a tendency to think any criticism is oppression. That they deserve things they haven't earned like respect and leadership. Many white men have clearly lost the plot after generations of entitlement & arrogance. 💩🌮 is the exemplar of this malignant phenomen ☮️💙🇺🇸💪🏼🏴‍☠️⚡️

"Hey, L.C., you went to grad school so why don't you work in academia?" A million reasons that come down to one: academic assholes. You sacrifice your sanity, morals, and financial stability for the chance of doing research when, in the end, it's not about knowledge/learning at all. #Academicsky

It's a coming-of-age moment in American education when That Scene comes on in a Shakespeare play and the embarrassed teacher desperately dives to cover the TV screen. Damn they tried so hard to protect us from cooties. God-speed teach'. 😂 #Shakespear #AmericanEducation #Litsky #Booksky

#books #booksky 📚💙 I finished this over the weekend. (She spoke at 47's prayer service calling for compassion, remember?) One thing stuck with me probably because I need it: She says when someone voices a complaint, they should also offer at least one potential solution or way to address the issue.

I'm seeing a lot of goal posts (lol pun) so here's mine: not melt from the heat wave or faint from political stress. Stay cool, hydrate, vote, support each other, and keep on living folks.
