The fan girl got mail!! I’m feeling very treated. @maryrussell.bsky.social @laurierking.bsky.social While I’m posting, read this book, I’ve already read it more than twice!

Quite excited for the new pope here. Twitter also records its busiest day in years, after everyone scoots over to see Pope Leo’s criticism of jdv. Someone should invite the Pope to Bluesky…

Shout out to the home of my monthly column, @newscientist.com, which nailed their headline about the genetically modified GREY wolves www.newscientist.com/article/2475...

Really looking forward to meeting Uncle Jake again, in #KnaveofDiamonds by @laurierking.bsky.social

My TBR pile judging me when I see a book recommendation, immediately borrow and start reading it, abandoning the four other books I’m currently reading and the sixteen books I’ve started this year.

“I was hungry” and you cut $1 Billion in funding to schools and food banks. “I was sick” and you worked to gut medicaid, depriving me of healthcare. “I was a stranger” and you defined my humanity by legal status. “What ever you do to the least of these, you do unto me.”-Jesus

I’ll try not to seem too excited by this upcoming release. But I am really very excited. Less than three months!!

I’m just saying that audiobooks are brilliant. You can listen while doing almost anything. House cleaning? Audiobook. Exercising? Audiobook? Sleeping? Old favourite audiobook. Driving, travelling, waiting? Audiobook. Best thing ever.

Any time you hear somebody recounting a history and they say something like “and we didn't really hear much from [insert civilization herel for the next hundred years" you can be sure that was probably the best time to live there

Peace on the Earth, and goodwill toward all humankind.

This sums it up, yes.

The disclaimer at the end is perfect 👌🏼

Walking paths untrodden, my favourite cartoonist passed away yesterday. It seems a sad first post for a new platform, but your art will always be treasured. Vale Michael Leunig.

It’s a Schrödinger problem. The cat wants you to get up but prevents you from getting up. Because you cannot move when the cat is on you.

The number of books I own is nothing compared to the number of books I do not own. Perspective matters.

Photo of a man in a chair reading a book, caption reads: The worst part about growing up is how sitting peacefully reading a new book went from “well behaved, quiet child“ to “rude and antisocial” adult.

Life goals. (A photo of a floor to ceiling library, caption reads, reading can seriously damage your ignorance.)

At the age of 3, I learned to read and my parents never grumbled whenever I asked them to buy books for me. Today, I have a personal library running into the thousands. It says a lot about our society that owning dozens of sneakers/shoes is considered cool but amassing books has to be defended. 😦

I feel mislead by all dystopian literature. It's supposed to be a powerful authoritarian government that lords over a cowering population, and and we just need need a few brave acts of heroism to give the people the courage to rise up. Instead it's just half the country being dumb and mean.
