Sold 2 books yesterday, so that's $2 for my food bank - off to a good start! Let's keep it going. For every book or antho sold between now & Dec. 1 (or when the govt reopens), I'll donate $1. Here are my books on Bookshop, if you want to support local book stores too. bookshop.org/beta-search?...

“Hope” is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the cage –
And sings the taunting songs –
That never stop –

Yet, tonight, tonight –
When you sleep –
I will eat it.

If you cannot see children trick-or-treating, maybe consider not driving tonight?

I don't know why people aren't having more kids. We've tried everything from soaring inflation, suppressing wages, stripping rights, destroying public services, making literally everything more expensive, making literally everything more expensive in a different way, and sending in the marines

Wanna hear a scary story?

The first American vampire was Black.

Seriously.

78 years before Dracula appeared in American literature, there was "The Black Vampyre" by Uriah D'Arcy.

It was written in 1819 as an antislavery critique and the effect the Haitian Revolution had on the States

Text:

"The Black Vampyre; Legend of St. Domingo" by Uriah Derick D'Arcy written in 1819.

The story of an enslaved man in St Domingo (modern day Haiti) who was thrown overboard as his enslaver attempted to kill him.

He not only survives, he lives forever, and marries one of his enslaver's descendants.

Reminds me of "Sinners" in a way

I don't know who needs to hear this, but take your vacation days. Yes, even if you don't go anywhere.

I used to like having a week of vacation days banked as a buffer, but also, corporate policy only allowed me to carry over a week anyway. The rest? Use it or lose it.

California folks: if you have a Prop 50 mail-in ballot but haven't mailed it in yet, do it today. Please. I am begging you. It's literally the only question on the ballot and it'll take you like 30 seconds to fill out. Redistricting only happens if enough people vote for it by next Tuesday. #yeson50

RedwoodGirl @redwoodgirl.bsky.social · 17d

California folks, for the love of all the gods and goddesses you revere, MAIL IN YOUR PROP 50 BALLOT TODAY. It's really easy: there's only one question! I recommend you vote YES on 50, then mail the ballot in, no postage required. #yeson50

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

This is Kaito. He is the final boss of blue eyes. You are not prepared to face his stare. 13/10 (IG: tikanni.kita.n.tehya.3.sibes)

a black husky with white paws sits outside on a gray mat. this is kaito, and he stares at the camera with sparkling blue eyes. he wears a southwest pattern bandana around his neck.

kaito rests his black face between his two white paws and looks up at us with his blue eyes. he's resting on a big pet pillow.

kaito's pink tongue and bright blue eyes pop in the sun as he lays on a rug outside.
