FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUSπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Reminder to anyone who needs it today: Reading books (at home, on the bus, in Starbucks); owning books; loving books; discussing books. None of these things are β€œperformative” unless you’re selling tickets.

Read in public. Read in private. Read e-books, genre books, comics, fanfiction. Read literature. Read nonfiction. Read books you’ve already read. Listen to audiobooks. Read what you want. There’s no such thing as β€œdoing reading the wrong way.”

The cover of the book Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green showing a yellow background with an orange circle and a green triangle. The circle is like a petrie dish with bacteria.

Unsolicited Writing Advice, no: 76783.9999: PROMOTION. Trad published authors can usually rely on some promotion from their publishers. However, you shouldn't rely on this: publicists are often overworked and underpaid, and don't have time to think up brilliant ideas for all their authors.

This was one of the first books I bought my baby (Burglar) Bill. He would say "Peepo" as I turned the pages.
Monkey See was his favourite, though. Many rereads!

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Not sharing this to prove you wrong, but there are a lot of Americans on here who need to see the world is listening. I think this was updated middle of the night UK time. Of course, there's a lot of other news at the moment too.
