BLOGS. Now there's a word I haven't heard in a while. Anybody else have favorites? Is Book Riot good anymore, or has it also devolved into listicles and pop ups?

As a result of this social media shift, I’ve started following some book blogs again for the first time in almost a decade.

When the France election results are good

Usually when I find a giant house spider somewhere inconvenient, I just move it to another less inconvenient part of the house, but today I found one so large that it had to be banished to the backyard. My love has limits

Nvm they're back, apparently; carry on as you were

Whoa. Maybe I take back some of the things I said about the level of discourse on Threads. Apparently after the biased debate coverage and the anti-voting screed, The People bullied them off the platform.

Also, your local librarians will always talk about any of the books they’ve read! I love to force my favorites onto unsuspecting patrons.

We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.

The Black Panther Party learned that sickle cell anemia was a neglected genetic disease affecting mostly people of African descent. Although disease had been known since 1910, it attracted little govt attention and even less funding. So the Panthers set up a screening program. #BlackSky #Disability

"Approximately 1 in 365 African American children are born with sickle cell, according to the CDC.. Tens of thousands of lower-income families with children suffering from sickle cell disease have applied for SSI. But roughly 76% of those applicants had their requests denied between 2015 and 2020."

Thousands of Black children with sickle cell disease struggle to access disability paymentswww.cbsnews.com New data show how one federal safety net program has been out of reach for thousands of children who need it most.

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

We've heard from many community members that COVID rapid tests are hard to find (and when they can find them at drugstores it's like $20 a test) so we're experimenting with carrying COVID tests and selling them at cost: $5 per test including tax (tho each pack has 2 tests so it's $10).
