Hi I used to work at Starbucks customer service: if you call or email about this, they are absolutely tracking those numbers, and a sufficient amount of public pushback does make them rethink shit sometimes, so now would be an EXCELLENT time to let them know they’re being ableist shitheads

Footprints in the snow = footprints in my heart ❤️ Finding small joys in a world that seems like it’s on fire & spending time with our Princesa reminds me why we need to keep fighting for what’s right & just for all!

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

"“They want to make an example out of Chicago, make it ground zero for mass deportations. Well, I’ll tell you what: we do need to make Chicago an example—of people finding their courage and their backbone,” Leo Pargo, a community organizer, told city council." We protect our communities. ❤️

Now available widely via PBS—the documentary A Shot in the Arm. Originally intended to focus on vaccine hesitancy & opposition to measles vaccines pre-2020, it expanded & has an interview you don’t want to miss. I saw early cuts of it in 2022 & can’t recommend it enough. www.pbs.org/video/shot-i...

This week's recommendation is a Romancelandia legend: @authormsbev.bsky.social. Affectionately known as "Ms. Bev," Beverly Jenkins was, is, and will forever be a cornerstone of the genre. We are thrilled to offer 15% off of any of her titles until 11/25/24 with online code ROMANCELEGEND.

Beverly Jenkins, a romance legend, pictured here: a Black woman with closely cropped salt and pepper hair looks gently at the camera, posed with her hand framing her lined face.

Beverly Jenkins is the recipient of the 2017 Romance Writers of America Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as the 2016 Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice Award for historical romance. She has been nominated for the NAACP Image Award in Literature, was featured both in the documentary “Love Between the Covers” and on CBS Sunday Morning. Since the publication of Night Song in 1994, she has been leading the charge for inclusive romance, and has been a constant darling of reviewers, fans, and her peers alike, garnering accolades for her work from the likes of The Wall Street Journal, People Magazine, and NPR.

Some of Love's Sweet Arrow's favorite titles by Ms. Bev are Night Hawk, Forbidden, Breathless, and A Christmas to Remember
