You’ll often hear that Arizona has dry heat. Dry Heat just means the sun skips the humidity and punches you directly in the face and then you melt within 3 minutes.

The way that some leftists talk down to Black people (like we haven't been the center of most progressive movements) in this country is weird.

Same It’s why I use Black, Indigenous, People of Color instead of BIPOC - or even better not grouping even nonwhite together as a monolith. DEI is another great example.

“We know that if we do not learn from the past, it is destined to repeat itself. But what I want us to really sit with is the fact that we can avoid more than just history's worst moments. We can avoid it all. We can put our foot down right here at the beginning and refuse to comply with any of it.”

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

The thing about Mina that I love is that she sweet and kind and the type of librarian that will always go that extra mile to get you that book. But she is also a bisexual fem-dom and she will get you all together right quick. Also, she will shoot you dead if you cross her.

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

theverge.com

Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books

It’s bad if you like to keep ebook backup copies.

I said we don’t have enough Indigenous romance and people are recommending Nikki Payne’s Sex Lies and Sensibility and Kennedy Ryan’s The Kingmaker. Someone else had the audacity to say Twilight. An Indigenous romance is a book WRITTEN by an Indigenous author WITH Indigenous characters.

Currently Reading: The Secret World of Maggie Grey By Granger #booksky

The image shows a tablet displaying a digital book cover. The book cover features a stylized grayscale illustration of a character with curly hair and a slightly smirking expression. The text on the cover reads:
• Title: “Granger”
• Series: “Drew Oliver Book One”
• Subtitle: “The Secret World of Maggie Grey”

The lighting in the image has a colorful glow effect, with red and green hues reflecting on the screen. The tablet is encased in a protective cover, and a stylus is visible along the edge. The background appears to be a soft fabric surface.

"The halftime show was boring." Look, you may not be familiar with the genius of Kendrick Lamar and couldn't quite hear the lyrics and don't know the backstory and the symbolism went over your head, but trust me when I say you'll want to read an analysis of it and rewatch. A true masterpiece.

That halftime performance last night is really messing with some people's thoughts today --just because you don't understand cultural symbolism doesn't mean it was a bad or some inserted conspiracy. Too many "hot takes" about it this morning are steeped in antiBlackness. Stop it.

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

If an action is not intended to block, shut down, or stop some form of power in a real sense, it is useless or worse. Boycotts, work stoppages, blocking buildings, MA groups, etc need to be the floor for effective action at this point. Clever signs will not cut it.
