A white bunny wearing a black and red cape sits next to a "Bunnicula" book.
Cover of Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity by Monica L. Miller. The title is in yellow at the top, with a curlicue to its left. The cover features detail from the painting "Yellow Book" by IkΓ© UdΓ©, with a light-skinned Black man in profile, sitting on chaise longue. He is wearing a dapper grey suit, gloves, and a floral boutonniere. The subtitle is written in white across his knees and the author's name is in yellow at the bottom of the cover.
Tonight is the #MetGala, celebrating the upcoming opening of the new exhibition "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," which was inspired by Monica L. Miller's 2009 book "Slaves to Fashion."

One of my favorite moments at last nights #KylieMinogue show.
My current read. And I just canβt get enough. @silviamg.bsky.social is a genius, this book is so evocative and lush and downright creepy.

Such a great book. Difficult to read at times, but such a necessary read. #BookSkyππ

Library use β library advocacy. Yes: visit libraries. Use library resources. Attend programs. And then also: speak up! Defend library workers who are being harmed & criminalized. We π your presence. And we need your voices, too.
Because the folks who want to close libraries have also used them.
Ways to show up for our libraries:
-Get a library card
-Regularly visit your library
-Use library services
-Donate books
-Attend library events
-Become a library βfriendβ
-Purchase their merch or from their book sales
-Volunteer
A month ago, I had never played in a ttrpg before. Now Iβm in a regular bi-weekly Monster of the Week campaign, am about to start a D&D campaign, and just got asked if I want to join my husbandβs ongoing D&D campaign. When it rains it pours, but Iβm not complaining.

Started this today. Iβm so deeply invested in this history, mostly because I was a kid of the 80s & 90s and had a very intense relationship with my mall.
βWhen I say βmall,β you see a place in time, one shopping trip, one amazing afternoon.β

THANK YOU, Abbott Elementary. Thank you, also, for the seemingly simple scene of how beloved it is to hear a book be read aloud π
