This is really incredibly stated. And factually correct! Our cities **"are holding the people that the rest of the country failed to love and take care of"**

So… I finished The Poison Daughter by Sheila Masterson, but I’m having a hard time rating it. While I really enjoyed it, there were just too many specific instances that reminded me of From Blood and Ash / Flesh and Fire series by Jennifer L Armentrout. #booksky #romancelandia

Hieronymus Bosch's 'The Conjuror,' a painting depicting a medieval con artist playing a shell game for an audience of astonished peasant rubes. The image has been altered: the conman now has Jeff Bezos's grinning head, and the mouths of all the peasants have been replaced with inverted Amazon 'Smile' logos, so they are now frowning.

Yes, I have seen the "smut doesn't count as reading" post and yes, it is bullshit. Take it from your friendly, neighborhood, smut-loving librarian. All reading counts as reading. Stop worrying about tallies and totals and what other people think about your reading. Enjoy yourself.

If you haven’t had multiple dreams this week about shooing gawkers and shaming stalkers, are you even a real Swiftie? 😂 “No, you can’t come to the wedding” - #TaylorSwift

Text messages read:
I had a nightmare last night that randos snuck into Taylor’s rehearsal dinner and started live-streaming. Afterwards I was yelling at them “you are NOT real Swifties!!”
So I’m apparently feeling very normal about the wedding this weekend.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them. (
There are things in the world that are more important than money. The fact that you seem not to believe this, that you seem to think any motive beyond ruthless acquisitiveness is fake, dishonest, or childish, is the heart of your problem. Your attitude is not by any means unique to tech, but the

Probably not because, you know, misogyny & patriarchy. The adaptation only happened because of the #HeatedRivalry readers. You matter, #BookSky! 🌶️📚💙
