Who are in a cruel cycle of not being able to make enough to afford private insurance or jobs that provide good benefits, but if they work more & strive for those things they get kicked off Medicaid for making too much money.

And retain all of their semen because we don’t want that either. Sounds like they’re on to something… just not the thing they think.

Either way, nothing says make America healthy more than a whole meal of fried food and sugared-up dairy. :/

I dunno, but I recently had a chef give me an overly long explanation about how it’s better for frying. Short version, the oil doesn’t break down as much and can be reused.. so it’s cheaper.

But how?? That’s all we really want to know.

Ok, so I gave up on this one. I’m no prude, but the over-the-top sex scenes were just jarring in an otherwise fun story. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I guess I was expecting those scenes to be a little more fun.

Sally Whitney @swhitney.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

Thank you! We’re just gonna focus on building our little community up and hang on! We’ve had so many meaningful interactions w/ patrons over the past year that it feels like the space is too important to give up.

Already receiving emails from suppliers about preparing for tariff fallout. My business needs grains, cans, and fruit.. so yeah, trying not to panic. But wtf are we supposed to do? Also, did not vote for Trump, so the “business owners can get what they signed up for” rhetoric really doesn’t apply.

If you’re in the Tulsa area and have questions about women’s health related to menopause/perimenopause, join us Monday, 3/10 at 6:30pm for a q&a session with Margaret Goddard, APRN-CNP.

I was there, too, and yeah, that was a very cool event.

Owner of a very small brewery here & we just got an email from our grain supplier. Prices Will be going up. Just waiting to hear from our can supplier. Curse words!!! Less than a yr in business and just hanging by a thread as it is.

I imagine Zelenskyy was having a moment in his head much like the scene in High Fidelity when Rob sees Ian in the record store. At least that’s my fantasy.

Sally Whitney @swhitney.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

The bookstore I work at in Tulsa, OK does this. It’s held at a local brewery and always has a huge turnout.

It’s never fun when you have to call the IRS as a taxpayer, but I had to recently, and genuinely felt worse for the employees than myself.

This book comes out in a few weeks and I’m so ready for other people to read it. Kept me completely off-balance in such a good way. I’m pretty sure Stuart Nadler is genius for the way this book is constructed. #booksy #bookrec #netgalleyreads

Paperback book with an eye at the center and multicolored rays extending outward. Title of the book is Rooms For Vanishing by Stuart Nadler.

So far, having a small business has been one step forward and two steps back (or more). Anyone know the secret to going two or three steps forward before going backwards? Asking for myself. #smallbusinessowner #craftbrewery

A book to match the moment. I know that we tuned in to watch Drake’s therapy bill go up, but the STORYTELLING! Seeing a Black legend stand in the center of an American flag CREATED by the bodies of Black people in jumpsuits singing “sit down, be humble”? Listennn bookshop.org/a/87137/9780...

Any time I access my student loans I have to agree that to the terms stating that anyone who isn’t authorized to access this information faces prosecution. How tf doesn’t this apply to these goons?

Chain Gang All-Stars is in my top 10 favorite books. I met Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenya during his book launch tour in Tulsa and he is such a lovely human! #bookrec

No kidding. It’s just so bizarre to see tRump supporters praising this nonsense as “common sense”. I’ve forever heard people wish we could just have a clean slate & I guess I took for granted what that actually means. If this is what they wanted to whole time, I’m just disappointed in the grownups.

That’s true. I had one HS civics teacher that wasn’t a coach, but the rest of history classes all were.

We hosted a book event at @goodcausebrewing.bsky.social and someone brought out a Jane Austen board game… super fun night! I love book people! #booksky #readers

I’ve seen so many family members & former teachers who taught me about civics celebrating what’s happening right now & I just don’t know how to even process that. None of them remember making us watch this?? #checksandbalances youtu.be/-EISWIY9bG8?...

Wow. This was such a disturbing, creepy trip. I’m glad I listened to this one! The haziness of “Wait. Did this happen in the movie script or in the actors’ real lives?” so effectively kept me creeped out. #bookrec

Sally Whitney @swhitney.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

Likewise! I prefer to carry around a paperback, but it feels special to own the hardcover of books I really love. I guess what I’m saying is sometimes I buy both. 😂

Some cats lock ya to the couch but noooo, not this guy. I’m gonna row forever. (Also, cat forces human to row till death is a great short story plot.) #cats #catsky #horror

one of the coolest covers I've been lucky enough to get. coming July 15th, from @sagapressbooks.bsky.social. www.simonandschuster.com/books/Killer...

one-style flip-book, meaning: two novels in one, bother oriented opposite the other, so their ends meet in the middle. make sense? it's The Babysitter Lives, finally IN PRINT, and Killer on the Road, a new one. Babysitter has a giant spider crawling from a tear in the cover bisecting the house, and that tear crosses the spine over onto Killer, where it's revealed it's a small CAR making that gash in the paper. On the Killer side, it's revealing that the girl's face has a skull underneath. pretty cool stuff.

Not doing the best job this year, but last year easy knitting + audiobooks really helped. I knitted enough to make a massive blanket. The closest thing this year had been trying to replace doom scrolling w/ NYT games.

Now back to my usual. Horror Movie by @paultremblay.bsky.social… just started but I’m hooked in early. Ps. Get your audiobooks f/ your local library or @librofm.bsky.social. They support your local community (& booksellers like me). 🥰 #booksky #books #horror

Reading way outside my norm & I gotta say, it’s a pretty decent form of escapism. Spicier than I expected. #booksky #romance #audiobook
