This book looks irritating

A book cover: a blue and pink starry dusky sky behind a two-story house. The upper left window is filled with light and this silhouette of what looks like a woman. The authors are Nicholas Sparks with m night shyamalan. The title is Remain: a supernatural love story. The font is yellow.

I just added it to Libby, so thank you. I downloaded the app about a month ago when I got my first library card in about 15 years and had yet to pick a first book 📖

My video is up! Even if you don't watch it to retain it right away, watching it in the background or just like having it play or whatever in the first couple hours really helps with the algorithm (and obviously comments and likes are loved and appreciated)

It was an exceedingly fun convention & unfortunately our financial backers ended up being awful and corrupt. I'm not even exaggerating, they ran their other convention into the ground after stealing ours & one of them got arrested for taking a gun across state lines during the commission of a crime

I'm pretty sure I sent them to a friend that was going to try and promote the convention my husband and I ran (Kakkoicon; that tea party flyer). My bucket list is still to go to Whitby.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

I had a woman fight with me about my fear of water telling me it was because black people have heavier bones and that's why we can't swim. I told her my dad and my brother are fish and that she's just doing a eugenics. My white mother and I both fear water, but have the ability to swim.

I watched a documentary once where they claimed Space Invaders was a huge success because it tapped into the instinctive Japanese fear of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. People will do a racism at the drop of a hat to sound smart

Have you had a chance to watch my new video?

What happens when fiction starts looking a little too familiar? In this video, I break down how The #handmaidstale & The #hungergames used fashion to warn us and how those warnings feel uncomfortably relevant right now.

Five coloured sketches of the progression of Stede's outfits through the series.
First sketch: Stede walking around with the potted fern and a quill pen, wearing a light teal vest and breeches over a white shirt and stockings.
Second sketch: Stede kneeling in shock in front of the weapon that Chauncy used, his clothes from the privateer academy rumpled and dirty.
Third sketch: Stede in his celebrity pirate era, with a dark teal shirt that shows off his chest, brown leather pants and boots and a sword belt. He's winking off to his right, holding onto a rope with his left hand and his right is resting on the hilt of his sword.
Fourth sketch: Stede is back in his soft fabrics, in blue cotton pants, leather boots and a linen shirt that's wide open and sliding off his shoulders, showing bites and kisses left by Ed. In his hands he's holding onto the pink robe with a soft smile on his face.
Fifth sketch: Stede finds a middle ground in his wardrobe, mixing the softness of fine fabrics with the practicality of leather. He kept the loose shirt wide open over his chest, with shiny pearl and gold necklaces framing his neckline. He's kneeling with one leg on a stool, leather pants soft and stretching in his pose, and buttery gold leather boots adding a pop of colour to his outfit. His upper body is draped over the counter as he smiles coily at his companion (who's not in frame but is definitely Ed)
