100,000 words of Cozy Hopepunk. 3 books in a boxed set with covers by Augusta Scarlett; volume 1 features a beautiful black woman with a shaved head, against a blue background featuring a spaceship and a planet. Volume 2 features a smiling white woman, and Volume 3 features a stern black woman with gold inlays at her throat.

Former rebel guerillas find their lost beloved friend and go to ground on a utopian planet. There's banter, bakeries, gaming, therapy, a lot of snow, and a solstice celebration.

A bit, mostly I got to hear Soylent Green movie anecdotes. I didn't buttonhole him afterwards, people had stuff to get signed. I had not brought any of my sad tattered used paperbacks.

The Iconic Civil Rights Protest You Don't Know | American Experience | PBS Meet the protesters whoΒ crawled their way into historyβ€”and changed how all Americans live.

Today is the 36th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl and disabled people are still fighting for basic rights in a society that's actively working to undermine them, surrounded by systemic disablism.

(This is a corrected thread TY to the person who flagged that I said 26th, not 36th!)

Off from the dayjob today for an annual doctor appointment. Had to choose which #knitting to bring with me...yes, I have multiple sets of needles with different colors going. The FrankenBlanket waits for no one.

It’s been a while since I posted here - am trying to decide the best place to post about books (posting about books on Twitter (refuse to call it x) is like shouting into the void now!).

So hello, and hope you are reading something brilliant!
