even if libraries caused readers to buy fewer books* it would be worth it, in order to live in the kind of society that produces readers and books. *they don't, and this survey doesn't successfully demonstrate that they do

So preorders are one of the best ways you can help an author! They signal interest to the bookstore and the publisher! Now is frankly an especially great time to preorder a lot of queer & diverse books, to signal that there's still a market despite bans! It's a way you can help plus you get BOOKS

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

I was absolutely thrilled to get this ARC of Love Galaxy, by @sierrabranham.bsky.social , set at a galactic reality TV love competition with a sapphic forbidden romance twist! Thanks to @transworldbooks.bsky.social for my copy. 💕 www.goodreads.com/book/show/239881885-love-galaxy #romancelandia

The front cover of the paperback advance reading copy of Love Galaxy shows whirls of neon color in outer space along with two floating women reaching their hands out to each other. The text reads: Tonight, on Love Galaxy, a hot new bombshell enters the cosmos!

The back cover reads: Are you ready to find the greatest love in the galaxy? A reality dating show goes intergalactic in this genre-blending sci-fi romance novel for fans of Ali Hazelwood and Hannah Nicole Maehrer.
Trash collector Temmi never expected to land a spot on Love Galaxy, the wildly popular dating show starring the brother and sister heirs to the galactic empire: twenty-four contestants. Two imperial heirs. One chance for Temmi to change her life.
Hang on - Temmi, babes, you're supposed to be wooing the prince, not falling for his sister!
Temmi may have been hand-picked to date the quiet, bookish prince, but she can't seem to keep away from Princess Spie. She's entirely off limits, but their magnetic chemistry is undeniable.
OK, plot twist! But all's fair in love and revolution, right?
When contestants start turning up dead and whispers of rebellion spread, Temmi and Spie find themselves in over their heads - romantically, politically and, possibly, fatally. Deadly eliminations and an anti-Empire coup? Things on Love Galaxy are getting seriously off script...

The competition kicks off May 7th 2026.

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

ICE halted payments in October, and the situation will persist for at least several more months

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”
