It's been a while since a book was so bad I didn't finish. Congrats Dan Brown, the dialogue in The Secret of Secrets reads like an alien learned human communication by watching 90s sitcoms. #booksky

Had to grab up this amazing vintage black velvet painting for what is becoming the unicorn room. My inner 9 year old is thrilled.

Holy crap. @jamieloftus.bsky.social's Ack Cast is fucking fantastic. It is well researched, engaging, and full of empathy. Seriously. Go listen now and then reflect on how you can be racialized to step off the self hatred train.

My birthday will be upon us soon and I have asked that my only present be not having to make any decisions about how we celebrate it. This feels like a step in the direction of joining the sisterhood of middle age women.

Claw back your attention span and read a damn book. Don't know what to read? Go ask a librarian.
I finished a book. The first of this year. In 2025 I took my pea sized, phone-rotted, attention spanless brain and finished a bloody book. I'm unstoppable.

Y'all, Texas is afraid of a tiddy. Terrified of a boob. Frightened by a breast. Next thing you know they are going to be banning any fried chicken that isn't a wing

If you did the whole 23andme thing it's time to delete your data and have them destroy your sample. Get it done before who knows who buys your genetic information.

@iwriteok.bsky.social lol, probably zero chance that you will see this but my librarian brain had to chase down the factor 8 documentary. There are three libraries in the US that have it available for inter-library loan, one in California, if your local public library does that. (Most do)

Didn't just say you stand with Ukraine. Send them money. Unless you are living in deepest poverty, you can afford to send something. Take the money you would give to one of the mega corporations and donate it. Be slightly uncomfortable. Miss a luxury. Thoughts and prayers do jack shit.

After nearly 20 years of tracking my reading on Goodreads I deleted my account to switch to StoryGraph, a black owned platform. Stuck it Amazon.

God I love working at a college. Today my 18 year old student worker looked at me and asked "have you ever heard of #ska?" Oh buddy, I was in high school in the 90s. I now have him listening to the Aquabats. You are welcome kiddo.

Cancelled our Amazon prime subscription to help us focus on shopping small and local instead of making billionaires richer. We agreed that the world will not end if packages take time to get to us. Embrace being slightly inconvenienced when you can to make the world you want to see.
