There’s something to be said for how most of the political spectrum can unite around hounding some lesbians over niche drama in their spaces but huge segments of society are silent about pervasive campus rape impacting a huge population of primarily youngwomen

I think its important to understand the campus sexual assault crisis is way worse than you think. universities suspend just 1/12,400 students each year for sexual misconduct & expel 1/22,900. once you read title ix administrators in their own words, you get a sense why that is:

I want to love Rebecca Thorne’s new Moss’d in Space but I also keep finding it not Stardust Grail by Yume Kitasei. Which disappoints. Definitely a me problem. Maybe better in print than audio? #Booksky #Skybrarian

1. The audiobook is exceptional, Hao narrates herself. 3. Draws together many thinkers & ideas in development of genAI tech, not just OpenAI 2. Don't want to deep dive through all the development & drama? This book is worth reading for the Epilogue and recommendations alone. #BookSky #Skybrarian

dangerous. A fast, tense read that offers plenty of drama, satisfying character arcs, and symbolism to discuss if one were looking for a book club selection. This one also works particularly well in #audiobook format. #Booksky #Books #TheStarvingSaints

intrigued and frightened by her growing ability, and a fallen noblewoman seeking vengeance. Each following her own mission, interlacing with each other, but not trusting the others completely. As salvation arrives at the hands of the Lady and her saints, things become more complicated and far more

A sieged castle approaching starvation, nuns inviting miracles, combined with cannibalism & great cover art were the hooks that captured my attention. What really made this story sing though, was the braided narration shared by three female heroes: a knight of conflicted loyalties, an alchemist

On a yellow background, a nuns habit stands holding a bee hive frame full of honeycomb and bees, the face appears to be three almost cartoonish faces competing for space, a glittering pink sun behind the head.

Olivia Rodrigo raised $20 million for women's well-being with a benefit show featuring a women-led lineup. Her show raised $10 million and Melinda French Gates pledged another $10 million. Rodrigo said the festival's artists and activists give her hope despite the “regression of women's rights."

Sending this out to whoever needs to see it: It's okay if you read slowly, there's no great victory in being able to read quickly, everyone kind of has their own reading speed, and that's perfectly fine. I'm just really happy you're reading. I hope it gives you joy at any pace. Thank you!
