ProPublica is a national treasure

Today the firehose of awful news almost knocked me out, so I'm breaking the emergency glass... cozy fairy romance time #boosky

If you read 1 book a month, you're a #reader. If you read 1 book every other month, you're a reader. If it takes you 6 months to read 1 book, you're a reader. If it takes you a year to finish 1 book, you're a reader. Whether audibook, comic, graphic novel, manga, etc., you are a reader. #booksky

"I can laugh about it now, but at the time it was terrible." The Smiths I rarely read character driven novels, but this one is so FUNNY and so real. A charming and biting look at the big drama / big feelings of life in your early 20s. Set in 2000s Cork (get the audiobook!) #books #booksky

Don't pretend you don't know who this is about

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?
