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?! 👀 I’m in!!! #BlackAuthors #Booksky 📚💙

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

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

CR: My Sister, The Serial Killer by #OyinkanBraithwaite (pg. 195/227). 💭: Holy. Shit. This has me in an absolute chokehold! Edge of my seat vibes! Try audiobook for correct Nigerian name pronunciation. #booksky #currentread #thrillerbooks #bookish, #bibliophile #bookworm #booklove #bookshelf #reader
The cover of “My 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.

Reminder that the sentient Wig in Chief cut the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Because he doesn’t want you to have SHIT. So when I tell y’all to get library cards and support local libraries I’m not saying it just to be on a soap box. Public Libraries are essential for democracy.

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

On my LAST non-thesis assignment, I’m building off @emynemmy.bsky.social’s idea to report on #DecolonizingTherapy by #JenniferMullan. I’m adding a few different books & providing a PDF for the class BUT! Can we just appreciate a ✨talented✨ artist that let #Canva use their stuff? That art is FIRE! 🔥
Computer screen photo with a colorful Canva presentation called “Decolonized Bookshelf: A Guide to Centering BIPOC Voices on Our Collective Social Work Bookshelf.” Features tabs in colorful hues, golden sparkles, and a young Black woman with long golden-beaded locs tied into a half up half down messy bun, rounded hot pink glasses, and multiple piercings with gold jewelry. She is wearing a royal blue tank top and shows a floral outline tattoo. Her eyes are closed and she is smiling. She is literally the best part of the slide!

Cover of Dead & Breakfast by Kat Hillis and Rosie Thor. Reads “Come for the vampires, stay for the scones” and features two fabulously dressed (suits!) gay vampires holding their beverages of choice. They are holding hands in front of their idyllic little bed & breakfast. The queer representation is REPRESENTING.
