I don’t understand why HarperCollins refused to join other major publishers and sign the letter to Congress in support of IMLS. So, I wrote a letter to HarperCollins. Libraries and librarians need our support. Authors and industry professionals, please sign this letter using this form. 👇 🙏 📚

Did they think elon was competent or did they just assume—like they did with trump—that no matter how erratic and ill-prepared for the role he was, he would never do anything to actually hurt their wealth?

I love a library more than almost any other place. My family moved a lot as a kid and one of the first things we’d do in a new town was get our library cards. This is a great week to harass your Congress members about protecting our libraries!!

Some tips as someone who loves food, has a bunch of health-related food restrictions, and has been food insecure for ~3 years 1. If you can afford it, a Costco membership is the best possible investment in not starving. $5 rotisserie chicken + bulk frozen vegetables have gotten me through so much.

Just finished Cassandra on Netflix and it’s like the DCOM, Smart House, but all grown up. It feels relevant in the age of rampant AI chaos but doesn’t sacrifice story (or horror) to make a point. Overall review: hell yeah
