Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

Cis women need to understand: the attack on trans women is an attack on all women. Imagine any other “group” of women having their rights stripped away, where’s that rage? Channel it into standing with our trans sisters. Women’s rights are all of our fight.

Writers, you might be struggling rn.

Math might help.

No, seriously.

If you write 300 (around a page) words a day, you will have an 80k book in 267 days. Less than a year.

If it's 200 words, it will take a little more than a year.

Doing it slowly is still doing it. 💪

The current state of the world is just so disgusting. I can’t even fully enjoy my hobbies without my mind wandering off, and completely disassociating.

I’m super impressed with myself for reading 8 books so far in Jan but also super worried that I’m about to dive head first into a reading slump.
I have never read this many books in one month before.

My cat is the softest cat in the world! I think it has something to do with her 4am cleaning sessions!!

Review: Portrait of a Thief by Grace D. Li
Method: 📘
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really enjoyed the different characters and their stories! Typically with multi povs its hard to fully get the characters backstory and motivations but Grace did a really well job rounding them out. 📚💙 #booksky

Well, it’s Monday, and the Inspectors General are resisting Trump’s illegal attempt to fire them with a letter saying, “Heck no, we won’t go!”

Tome must be busy because people seem to be struggling to get it. Guess I’ll need to wait a day and hopefully the excitement will wear down a little. #tomeapp #booksky

Half way through and so far if they end up getting caught it’s because the Chen siblings keep spilling the beans to everyone!! They are both causing me stress! #booksky #currentread #portraitofathief
