I wrote a Letter to the Editor here in RI to talk about book bans and the upcoming vote on the Freedom to Read Bill. I’m heartbroken for kids who might see the same empty shelves I grew up with. www.valleybreeze.com/opinion/lett... #booksky

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

Trying to find my #booksky people. These are some of my favorite books, most of them female led feminist fantasy. If any of these are on your shelf, we should be friends.

One day you are pre-gaming in your car before you go to the club and the next you are texting your spouse excitedly about the new vacuum.

Looking for fantasy audiobook recs but they have to be under 12 hours or I will not finish them before my loan expires. What have you got? #BookSky

Where are my YA readers and writers who are way beyond YA and don’t care? #booksky

I just got flagged on TikTok for making a sarcastic comment about climate change because of the Gulf Coast snowstorm. TikTok is not the same.

Quick question. Did we ever resolve the drones thing or did we just move on?

How are my friends in the south doing? If the snow hadn’t melted, these are my best novice tips. - Car stuck? Take your floor mats out and jam them under the wheels for traction. - Sprinkle kitty litter on icy walkways - Any coarse salt will melt ice - Stay inside if you can and stay warm!

Same with movies and music. I’ve had digital versions of songs changed to acoustic versions without my consent and movies with edited out scenes. I also have old CDs, books and movies that are not available digitally. Just think about the art that could be lost forever if we don’t keep hard copies.

I love my parents. I just went to visit them and my dad asked, “Did you watch the coronation yesterday?”

I keep thinking about the future for DACA recipients. RI is a sanctuary state and my day job is at a non-profit that helps people get jobs. If you have any nursing or medical certifications and are bilingual, I can have employers fighting over you. Message me if you’re thinking about it.

You can just say “mom” In your profile. You don’t have to specify “boy mom” especially since NO ONE calls themselves a girl mom. It’s icky. Like those dads that get pissed at gender reveals when it’s pink.

My library loans out sewing machines, fishing poles and a ghost hunting kit. Just saying. You’re missing out.

Shoutout to my man for getting up early on his day off to shovel the ENTIRE driveway by hand without being asked so I could go to work. This, fellas, is how you husband #PositiveMasculinity

Someone said that TikTok feels like somebody definitely touched our drum set now and I can’t stop thinking about it 👀

Hi new followers! I wrote a YA genderbent Hercules duology about two girls who are manipulated by their government into battling each other so they don’t band together to fight the real enemy. Sound familiar? #booksky
