Day 3 of Fall 🎃🍂🍁 Let me leave you with an actual I-took-this-photo moment.

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Found a new favorite shirt to wear to both jobs! 😆 Hey, @shanehawk.com, do you want me to wear this on my Salem/Sleepy Hollow trip??? Get some Indigenous spook on, ya’ll 👀👻🎃

I still have space in my schedule for work later this month and into September. If you're looking for a reporter to tackle election stories, a copy editor to go through the manuscript you worked on all summer, or some exciting third option, please reach out! RTs appreciated.

And the library paid for those copies! Don’t feel guilty, the author and team were paid! Are the copies going bad? The library can buy more! You never have to pirate a damn thing, just put a Suggest a Purchase in, my dudes!!

@shanehawk.com @thischerokeerose.bsky.social, I had half a glass of wine this evening, swaying a bit, but reading half of “Miss Cherokee Princess 1996” really 👀👀👀😱 at your brain in different spaces when you’re on the edge of being drunk and you tuck into this story? What an opening for Part II.

Happy anniversary of that time the post office asked me to provide evidence that my package was not delivered.

A series of photos of me pointing to places where packages could be like inside of a mailbox or on the front porch or in my hands except there is nothing there

From one Ace to another, this book was fucking solid. Welcome to my list of top five reads for this year. I was laughing, gasping, swooning, wrapped up and falling hard for this read.

@mychal3ts.bsky.social If you were just in our bookstore this afternoon…I walked by you a little star struck. 😅😅 I totally wished I could have asked you if you would come speak at our library’s Staff Day this fall!

I really hate having a shit week, and everyone continuously asks how I’m doing. I don’t know what, if, or how much to unload, and I despise that feeling.

@jwocker.bsky.social I got Edelweiss access for “Chasing the Headless Horseman” and what effing timing to have this book. My family and I will be in Sleepy Hollow this fall to see if we potentially have family buried at the Old Dutch Church (also possible distant relations to the Van Tassels 👀👀).

When it’s midnight and you have a library shift in *checks notes* ten hours, but you had to finish @kealakendall.bsky.social’s That Which Feeds Us, and you feel certain you’ve found another pick for top three reads of 2026. Keala, I like to collect thank you’s, so Mahalo nui loa for this winner! 🙌

sign.moveon.org/petitions/pr... The library system I work for is making budget cuts, and it’s been very anxiety inducing wondering who and how it will impact myself and colleagues. If you’d like to take a moment to ask our board to reconsider how these cuts should be done, you’d have my gratitude!

sign.moveon.org

Protect the Library, Librarians and Library Staff

The board and library administration claim these cuts will impact all areas of the library system equitably, but that doesn't appear to be the case. The workers most likely to bear the burden are unio...

When you’re on Edelweiss, subbing at a branch, and you have to try not to scream into the Last-Hour-At-The-Library silence, because this beauty dropped. @stephengrahamjones.com, you and @shanehawk.com are about to give me a beautiful summer (I say “summer,” because my ass is a slow reader).

I was looking at my books at home the other day, and it saddens me: There’s probably a percentage of books we’ll never get to in our homes before we pass. 🥲🥲🥲

Literally am now watching an Amazon van parked IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAMN ROAD with his hazard lights on to make a delivery. So, one way of cars can go by, but your loss if you’re coming from the other direction, cause this asshat was too lazy to find a spot IN THE PLETHORA OF OPEN STREET PARKING!

@metuiteme.bsky.social, as I read 250+ books, because the pandemic wrecked me, I finally concluded The Ones Who Come Back Hungry. You’ve hit little Shannon’s heart in the right place. 👏❤️🎉✨ Now, I’ll sleep tonight with no closure, going, “How did Audrey get it?!?” 😭😭😭 Those questions have no answers

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

While I was in the bookstore the other day, a thought came upon me, because I was looking at a book: Everyone in the building was looking for a good hallucination. Can’t remember who came up with that original concept, but everyone is collectively in the store to find their next hallucination.

I have been punched in the gut twice this week, and I can’t take whatever the third coming of three’s is going to be. I simply can’t do it

I ordered two copies. As an Only Child, this will be the hardest chapter of my life. My parents are well aware I want to be prepared. Folks should never feel afraid to talk to their family about end of life plans. I feel it should be normalized way more.

Here are three steps you can take to start organizing your hospital to defend patients and staff against ICE. This is based on the experience of workers and rights groups in Minneapolis. Share it with the healthcare workers in your life and read more at the piece linked down thread.

A huge goal of mine this year is to take care of my village. The one that was there for me this last month. The folks who look out for me, and I would like to look out for them more. I’ve had a suckish time hanging out with friends this last year, and I would really like to fix that moving forward

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

We’re not even two weeks into 2026, but I believe I would like a refund. I know that was in the fine print, when I didn’t sign, that there would be no refunds, but I would like one.

@sgj.bsky.social A story to enter this holiday week in. A guest approaches me at the bookstore. Looking for the Native American section—then it turned into a calendar…then I needed to ask them more questions. Guest: “My dad is Blackfeet and we’re just trying to find him something.”

My grandma died last Wednesday. My aunts and uncles chose today to bury her when I begged to have more time to get there. Nothing could connect me to ND yesterday, so I went home after 4 hours at the airport. They’re burying her now. I’m at home making a chicken wrap. My village failed me.

@michaelwehunt.bsky.social, just wrapped (ha?) October Film Haunt, and what a ride. Super engaging and I actually got weepy on Coleman’s last chapter. Definitely held me hard during the whole run. No, I don’t think I want to belong, if you know what I mean. ❤️

Lately, I’ve noticed I’m reassuring guests at the bookstore after they drop a big purchase with: “It’s ok, there’s worse things to spend money on…like bills…”

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

I just popped on Twitter an hour ago and I’m in disbelief how my timeline is actually showing, writers, agents, INDUSTRY PEOPLE after a damn year of poking on to irrelevant shit and soft porn. Like, I’m actually willing to go back in a bit. I have no clue what happened, but I hope it stays that way

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

Literally had a guest at the bookstore argue with me that he remembers when he needed a code for the restrooms at our store I’ve been in this building since 2014, we have never had codes to the restrooms. Hell, there’s no doors to ENTER the whole of the restrooms. He absolutely wouldn’t believe me

When your parents are visiting for the weekend, so you do the mad dash of apartment cleaning, because it’s too hot for two to three months to clean within the space, and you’re already running a river of sweat before you’ve even scrubbed the bathroom 🥲🥲🥲 I’ll get it together someday soon

Shannon Hawkins @sionainnigans.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

I definitely am taking baby steps coming back inti writing after the pandemic shattered my routine. It’s not easy. I agree with everyone that creative burnout can happen, but shit also comes to you on its own terms. It’s not worth it to force anything.

Want a hear a sick joke? If my calculations are correct after I receive my Labor Day week schedule, I’m going to be working three weeks straight without a day off between both jobs. 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

Does anyone have recommendations for websites that source ethical LGBTQA+ Ally clothing? Especially for tall/large male? My library supervisor is on the hunt for such ethical, supportive clothing!

When you have a higher up who tells you, “You can come and talk to me about anything,” and all you can think of, after feeling gaslit so many times, is: “You can only smack the dog you pet so many times before it doesn’t come back.”

I’ve tried twice to hang curtains in my apartment, and I keep getting thwarted! 🤦‍♀️ The first time was me not realizing I’d probably need a drill. When I found Kwik Hangs, I just put them on—they’re too small for the rods I bought. I’m trying. It’s been two and a half years, but I’m still trying.

My grandma fell and had a concussion yesterday (she’s ok, thank God), but my mom said when they did vocal checks like, “What year is it?…repeat these three words back to us…” By the time they asked who the president was, she laughed and said, “You’re joking, right?” Love you, grandma. 😂❤️❤️
