This is a slap in the face to American women. Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations. Our troops deserve better.

Issuing a #BookChallenge to the world asking not to challenge books! Decide not to read books in your own homes, it’s a decision between library grown-ups & library kids. Allow books to be books on bookshelves to show one they belong 💛 Every book isn’t for everyone, but every book is for someone ✨

My latest for @newscientist.bsky.social is a response to a reader question about how we know that dark matter isn't just dust! It's a nice thing to take a break with, given everything else happening in our corner of the universe. Ask your library for access! www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...

Why we should talk about invisible matter, not dark matter

The word "dark" is misleading when it comes to dark matter, because it suggests there is some kind of absorption of light happening, says Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

I know books are cheaper and hand delivered to your door step if you order on Amazon. I know. I understand times are rough and things are expensive. I just ask you please consider once in a while to go to a local bookstore. Or visit a library. They'll even order books for you. Please I beg of you.

Literally just make it so people don’t die from not being able to afford food, meds, and housing, and give them enough to buy whatever treats they want, and give them good schooling and don’t trap them in debt, and significantly less people will be posting Luigi memes

I wonder if people would still care about wealth inequality if they had a 4 day workweek, free healthcare, and guaranteed good food on the table. Sure, there’d be still be some general “eat the rich” sentiment but I doubt a lot of people are gonna care too much if all their needs are met nicely

A reminder - don't use Amazon, but go to bookshops, which play a far more vital role in promoting literacy just by simply making books more visible, and allow you to find things by chance rather than by what the algorithm decides.

I am going through some old boxes and looking for old tech to throw out. I found the external hard drive that died on me 12 years ago. I just gave it one last shot, and it fired up. I've recovered about six years of photos of my kids that I thought were gone forever. I am overjoyed.

Reading should be a joy and not a chore. If you're not in the mood or can't find just the right book, it's okay to take a break. I've never been a constant reader. We all have our own unique relationship with books. And, books are always there when you're ready for them.

Remember tomorrow that the origins of Thanksgiving- as a truly national holiday- came from the work of Sarah Hale and Abraham Lincoln. A nation gave thanks to God as it mourned the Union dead and prayed for the defeat of the Confederacy by either changing rebel minds or bringing them to submission.

Rereading Le Guin’s THE DISPOSSESSED, I keep thinking that all a writer needs is a deep knowledge of literature, history, and anthropology; an inexhaustible curiosity plus a willingness to change your mind when wrong; a utopian heart; and a learned faculty with the sentence and the aphorism. Easy!
