Let books be. Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, an annual observation started more than 40 years ago in response to a sudden surge in attempts to censor or remove books in libraries, schools, and bookstores. Sound familiar? Find ways to get involved and spread the word: https://bit.ly/4yvixbB.

A wrap up of my High Summer readathon experience and a few words about Dolly Parton: @msmwriter.bsky.social @carleyfortune.bsky.social @sarahmaclean.bsky.social #booksky #dollyparton

🎯 confirmed jojofromjerz.substack.com/p/bill-maher...

So much more than a Country Music Superstar. Philanthropist, humanitarian, defender of diversity & fierce advocate for the working class, she helped fund the Moderna Covid vaccine & donated 332+ million books to children. Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you.♥️ #RIP

Via James Marsters IG | "I just heard that a wonderful woman has passed. Thank you Dolly for a lot of great music, your unflagging grace, and for your instrumental role in getting ‘Buffy’ made. I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but you changed my life."

My heart is breaking. In addition to her musical talents, she was an exemplary human being. R I P Dolly Parton www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/a...

When my daughter was small, I was in very bad financial shape. We had library books, of course, but those monthly Imagination Library books were a lifesaver for my incredibly smart little girl. She used to call them Auntie Dolly books and hugged the photo on the inside of the cover.

Dolly Parton spent 80 years proving you could have big hair, a bigger heart, a brilliant mind and absolutely no patience for anyone who underestimated you. She gave us unforgettable songs, free books for millions of children, and enough wit, rhinestones and kindness to light up Tennessee.

Wrapping up my Autumn in August time with The Forsytes and eagerly awaiting Season Two! @pbs.org #booksky #tvsky #theforsytespbs

My latest Autumn in August entry takes a look at the budding romances on The Forsytes: @pbs.org #booksky #tvsky #theforsytespbs

5 years since Trevor Moore passed. We truly lost a treasure in comedy. Such a genuinely nice dude too. RIP Local Sexpot (not my art)

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

RIP Andy Hallett, who would've celebrated his 51st birthday today. I hope the karaoke bar in heaven is rockin'! #RIPAndyHallett #AndyHallett #GoneWayTooSoon #JamesMarsters #Lorne #Angel #Spike #Chance #AmberBenson

🔥 WATCH: “Smug, entitled, elitist, know-it-all arrogance. Repulsive.” Hasan Piker responds to bill maher’s *threat* to leave the Democratic Party if exciting young DSA (like Zohran) keep winning — saying “smug” Maher is “the poster boy for the party’s failures”
