As you all know, I'm an unrepentant museum nerd. I read books about taxidermists. So I was giddy to find this article on the first Black taxidermist at the Field Museum: www.fieldmuseum.org/blog/finding... #museums #museumnerd #taxidermyart #yesireadabouttaxidermy #fieldmuseum #thefieldmuseum

I just finished the first book in the Last Ditch Mystery series. Catriona McPherson is hilarious. The premise is that Scottish transplant Lexy is on the verge of leaving California after the failure of her marriage.

I miss when Twitter was joyful. I loved reading Sue the Dinosaur’s tweets. I hope we’ll see something like that here soon. #dinosaurs #suethedinosaur #walltag #nonbinary

I love museums so much that I love reading about them. This one is the memoir of a former security guard and it’s beautifully written. I can’t wait to go back to the Met to check out the things he talked about. #museums #books #artwriting #art #themet

Empire Waist is a wonderful film about body image, self-esteem, and fashion. I loved it and think you will too. Check out my article here: www.ff2media.com/blog/2025/02... #FF2Media #supportwomenartistsnow #films #bodyimage #selfesteem @claireayoub.bsky.social

Love this: "If we’re going to slaughter animals for our dinner, we have a responsibility to eat as much of that animal as we can, including the inner wobbly bits." www.theguardian.com/food/2025/fe...

Some happy archive news. UC Berkeley has acquired Amy Tan's archival materials, after she changed her mind about having them all destroyed after her death. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/a... #books #booksky #amytan #archives #authorarchive

"Spaceships aren’t programmed to seek revenge—but for Dracula, Demeter will make an exception." What a tagline! Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove is one of those books that sounds bananas, it is bananas, and you'll love every bit of it.

Something I've noticed as a freelancer who writes a lot about books. I often get a lot of offers of ARCs for books for a particular subject...after I write an article about it. So right now, I'm getting all sorts of new takes on Frankenstein, which is the best of all possible worlds. #frankenstein

Yes. I’ve been asking my elected officials to throw the figurative and literal wrench into things. Bring the drama.

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

It's a little thing but seriously, what the heck? This is so shameful. Saw this on the web somewhere but don't remember who: There's no Stonewall without T.

Sometimes you just finish a book that leaves you in awe. I'd be very surprised if this isn't one of my favorite books of the year. Yes, I've been a bit obsessed with all things space travel lately. #books #BookerPrize #space #spaceexploration #magic

And since I'm an aspiring mystery writer, we've got to talk about the possible poisonous pigments I saw at the Newberry. #books #poisonousbooks #maybe #rarebooks #pigment #arsenicpigment

This one is by Mayan artist Manuel Tzpc who has made a tiny book with the word "Corazon." I love that it comes in a little decorated book holder and a gold tray. Thanks again to the Newberry Library for the chance to see some of their new acquisitions last week. #tinybooks #books #artbooks #newberry

On Friday, I had a wild night out. I got to see some really cool books at the Newberry Library. One of the striking books was the Coffee Book by Dutes Miller and Stan Shellabarger in 2020. They recorded their morning coffee cups every day from Jan-August 2020. So cool. #books #artbook
