I enjoy being in a group chat where we'd all just as likely push the others under an oncoming bus as leap in front of it.

ok so I want to do two threads about
@blipstress.bsky.social
PLASTIC PRISM VOID and this is the first and it is about BOOK DESIGN so if you are a NERD then buckle up. My basic positon, as the dummy who got roped into typesetting this book, is it is an amazingly rare thing: something actually new.

I get people have reasons for saying they don’t think this platform is engaged enough or w/e but from my perspective (which does not matter, to be clear) I was on Twitter for a long time cuz I liked to talk nonsense to like, 10 I knew in real life and maybe 10 ppl I knew from forums etc.

From a certain point of view, a good bookstore is at least mildly antagonistic toward popular culture.

One of my favorite things about my dilettantism is when real specialists come in and think “somebody really knows a lot about x.” We’ve heard this about our small architecture section before. But nope … clueless. Utterly. Just love beautiful books.

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯 I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

Happy 91st birthday to Wendell Berry, who once wrote to me when I was feeling very alone and homesick for Kentucky: "Feeling far from home, I think, is probably a sign of good health."
