The most memorable books I read in 2024: The Race to the Future by @kassiastclair.bsky.social. The best non-fiction I’ve read in years. What starts as a book about early car races evolves into a tale of progress—covering steam engines, the horse economy, feminism, and beyond. Fascinating.

"David" Waiting at the Old Penn Station", 1948 Photo by the great Ruth Orkin (1921 - 1985). Oh my.

Nice to know there were girls like me in the 1950s :) "How can I carry my frog and my worms in a dress with no pockets?" comic strip by Orla Getterman.
