Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.

I looked up what a group of Blue Jays is called, which is a "party" or "band." So here is a party of Blue Jays. (They do seem to like partying it up and causing a ruckus. I could see "a ruckus of Blue Jays" as a group name working too.)

Come for a drive down the coast on Sunday and see Nick and I talk about books movies and reveal our lovely origin story, and possibly a few other secrets. Afterwards you can buy books for Christmas with a glass of bubbly in your hand. What's not to like about that?

Early in my transition from the place that rhymes with hex, to 🦋 I encountered the talented & inspiring @stonkers.bsky.social Unwittingly she gave me a New Year’s resolution (the only one I’ve ever managed to retain beyond 6wks). Each day I embroider a symbol or image. #pizzalike #embroidery

Octavia Butler being a time traveler or seer, will forever be a hill I'm willing to die on, because there's just no way. Parable of The Sower was published in 1993. Look at this date. #BlackBookSky #BookSky

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.” A no less vital admonition that deserves attn: STAND OUT “...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

When I go onto a new forum, I first have to figure out how to use it which is difficult because I'm a bit tech challenged and then I have to figure out what I can be in that space. I have decided this will be the place I come when I am in drawing mode :) www.facebook.com/1766451023/p...

I just finished this one. I’m a little embarrassed admitting I had never read it before. So good. It’s hard to describe the feeling it evoked in me. A combination of happiness and sadness and of despair and hope for humanity. All wrapped in one. #booksky 💙📚
