The image shows a Kindle Paperwhite display featuring the black and grey cover of The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst. The Kindle Paperwhite is balanced in a left hand, hold in an L position. The background is a plain white wall with no color or texture. The image is not well light or social media aesthetic.

I have been struggling with reading, but … hopefully I’m back?! Still working on Assistant to the Villain, and dipped my toes into Magical Innkeeping … but #KJBradford releases this baby soon & I was intrigued. Black characters, fantasy elements, spice?! πŸ‘€ I’m in!!! #BlackAuthors #Booksky πŸ“šπŸ’™

I feel this. I am looking for art on Etsy and I have to scroll like nine pages in to find something made by a HUMAN. Someone said β€œI want AI to do the dishes so I can do art, not the other way around!”

An appreciation post for my MSW ride or die, @emynemmy.bsky.social on β€œthe other social medias” that she doesn’t have. The accompanying song was Graduation by Vitamin C. β™₯️

So many Americans are barely keeping their heads above water financially. Maybe covid won’t kill them, but they literally can’t afford to be sick for a week or they can’t pay rent

we need to normalize saying β€œi don’t know enough to speak on that”, because silence rooted in humility is wiser than noise rooted in ignorance.

The cover of β€œMy Sister, The Serial Killer” by Oyinkan Braithwaite shows a Black woman’s face and upper shoulders. She is wearing a beige head wrap, concealing her hair pulled back into a low bun style. She is also wearing sunglasses that have a reflection image of a silhouetted hand holding a large knife, poised to stab downward. The title and author’s name are in large bright green letters.
