I feel sorry for Netflix era kids. They will never know the high stakes adrenaline of running to the bathroom/fridge/bedroom in a single ad break, with the beckoning call of a sibling screaming “It’s ONNNNNN” to send you hurdling over furniture to get back in time.

Everyone wants the rom-com book between Taylor & Travis. I want the romance between the agent/manager of the global pop star in the middle of world tour, who's life is suddenly smashed together with the footballer's agent/manager as they're forced to coordinate time for the stars.

I will repeat this forever. Make yourself an email folder called "Praise." Save ALL the emails people send you complimenting your work, big and small. On the days when it's just really hard and you feel like nothing is going right - that folder will bring you joy!.

Will never forget how epically the UK royal institution fumbled the bag to leverage into H+M’s global appeal and modernize the crown. Instead unsurprisingly, they turned back to their racist classist roots to deny & attempt to destroy Harry & Meghan.

How did these two not get the Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks run of great romance/romantic comedies after this?! . I still think they’re prime for an Emily Henry adaptation (Vacation is my preference).

@needmoarcoffee1 Great movie! But give me added pressure of hungry press, coordinating calendars of two in demand people, and the potential conflict the two managers battle of perception of him as the clout chaser and her the distraction to his game.

One immediate thing publishing can to do, is remove college degrees as a prerequisite on many job opportunities. There is nothing in my job that I do, that requires a college degree. I don’t have one and I have never felt held back, and that’s white privilege for sure.

Rick Riordan is what people wanted JK R*wling to be. An author who after writing a generation changing series, recognized his immense privilege & continues to work on his knowledge, and how best to use his voice to prioritize and support creatives of color. Percy over Harry.
“Racism, colorism, it’s always been with us. So it’s not helpful for us to say, “Oh, I’m not racist.” Of course we are. What the question really is, is do we recognize it? And do we work on it? Or do we deny it? Those are the choices.”.

I hope Karen Bass wins and people like Chris Pratt and Gwyneth Paltrow have to face questions about their horrific elitist support of Caruso.
Karen Bass leads 50.8% to 49.1% against Rick Caruso in Los Angeles. Based on the June primary, this is quite good for her: She was trailing by a few points on Election Night then, and finished ahead by 7%.

GoodReads should absolutely not allow this - or alternatively - give Publishers a separate status accounts (not a Super Librarian one) - in which we can mark a book as out for review with the early ARCs etc so it's fair and real.

Becky Albertalli’s essay, Chadwick Boseman’s struggles, and many other unnamed people is a reminder that just because people can share their personal information, doesn’t mean they have too and we are not entitled to it. They are storytellers but they don’t owe you their story.

Dolly Parton is giving MILLIONS of books to children. Don’t anyone ever shade to me about Dolly’s brilliance
When fires ravaged parts of Tenn in 2016, Dolly Parton gave $1k/month to every homeless family until they could get back on their feet. She has used her fame to spread a message of love/acceptance. Today, she donated her 100 millionth book. Dolly Parton is an American treasure

The continued showcasing of women needing access to period products in #TheLastOfUs is excellent! To see a diva cup get equal weight of importance to fixing boots is great storytelling that acknowledges the different personal issues people would face in a dystopian situation.
