You can’t read a dystopian book, root for the main character, and then support the oppressor in real life. That’s cognitive dissonance. #booksky

While listening to my book, in the midst of an epic battle, I somehow made it to work safe and sound. I am so thankful for divided attention. #booksky
This happened less than an hour from my home. I don’t know this family but I know some of their customers and neighbors. I have two things to say: 1. I live in a Blue state. 2. This doesn’t surprise me.

Please keep in mind that many of your disabled friends likely need more accommodations now and in the coming days. AND many of your neighbors will BECOME disabled in the coming days. Don’t wait to educate yourself on how to not be useless.
The line between wanting to jump off a building and wanting to own, develop and build my own company within a building, is a thin one. 😭
AWWWWWWW! Thanks so much! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

Help. I’m looking for a book that will make my jaw drop so suddenly that when I pick it up off the ground, there will be an indent in the concrete. A book that will give me whiplash so hard that my head flies off my neck and 20 feet away. I gotta end my 2024 with a bang‼️
These books encapsulate my 2024. Fable got me RIGHT this year! I am an 💎 Empowerment Dreamer 💎 “Reality shows and apocalyptic fantasies? Your tastes are as subtle as a sledgehammer. Embrace it! You seek bold stories where strength defies fate.” #bookish

When the going gets tough, practice self improvement 🙃
