Love that Elim Chan takes busy lifestyles into account as she considers how to lead the SF Symphony #music #aapi Chan said she was considering a number of ways to bring back the audience … including shorter concerts that start earlier in the evening, allowing people to come straight from work.

Oh this is fun. I haven’t been to any. Might go to the New York ones the next time I’m there. #travel #booksky www.fodors.com/world/north-...

Love learning about new-to-me rocks from a rock god

Gold doesn’t tarnish like similar metals do. A new paper says that the key is the intricate “herringbone” pattern of its atoms.

A lil launch in the distance 🚀

Oooh, the ebook for Marie Lu’s RED CITY is only $6 at Kobo and probably matched elsewhere. Great fantasy with a sought-after enhancement drug, rival crime syndicates, alchemists, yearning … Book 1 in New Alchemists series. Book 2 is out next year so why not add to your TBR now? #booksky

Flowering bushes in the park on my lunchtime walk

I want to isekai into the Innkeeper Chronicles for Orro’s cooking. And to watch all the werevoles, vampires, Dominion, Drifen and Maude fighting #booksky

This painting by Mark Bradford is so vibrant. #artsky #painting #chicago Bradford, who at 64 is one of the country’s most celebrated contemporary painters, brings some controlled chaos to every canvas. Tension between disorder and structure animates “City of the Big Shoulders.”

Really enjoy the variety of jewelry I can shop for @peculiarityshop.bsky.social Rutilated quartz, labradorite and carved — all sterling silver. #jewelry #shopsmall

The skies were stormy and the game went ahead.

I saw the Broadway Boop! musical, and it was a lot of fun. Will save this for later so I can dive into the backstory before the movie comes out #musicals #movies

Gorgeous, detailed, emotive human-made art

Just read the excerpt and I’m sold — I’m preordering from my indie bookstore. You can get it from Bookshop, which has a discount on the book. Or you could check at your library to see if they’ve ordered “The Heart of the Nhaga.” 🪐💙 📚 #booksky #libraries

Over the course of the next four years, HarperVoyager will publish the four giant volumes of The Bird That Drinks Tears saga, also known as the LOTR of Korea, beginning with The Heart of the Nhaga next month. This is the first available excerpt in English.

Definitely want to see this exhibit. Christie’s mysteries remain favorites for me. And I wish I could go to the Christie talk in June “featuring Lucy Foley, James Prichard and Lucy Rowland in conversation with Shrabani Basu.” #libraries #booksky events.bl.uk/events/the-q...

Fun story on romantasy audiobooks’ popularity and one very booked(!) and busy voice actor and narrator, Anthony Palmini. “The thirst for audio versions of the books is also proving to be a powerful market force.” #audiobooks #booksky www.npr.org/2026/03/30/n...

Too hot to walk in the park at lunch so it’s time to wander on work’s rooftop shade.

In February, three Southern college media outlets — The Duke Chronicle (Duke University), The Daily Tar Heel (University of North Carolina — Chapel Hill), and the Red and Black (University of Georgia) — had major traffic gains as nonprofit news organizations. www.niemanlab.org/2026/05/loca...

Was at Carnegie Hall in New York and saw this photo of violinist Itzhak Perlman. I went to one of his concerts years ago, and the performance was transcendent. I’m glad to recall that memory and the loveliness of his music. #music

How did I miss this book-to-film news? “Remember Me” was one of many Christopher Pike books that young me and my friends devoured. Totally want a “Last Act” movie next — crazy theater kids! #booksky #90s #movies variety.com/2026/data/ne...

Welcome back, Murderbot! To celebrate the release of Platform Decay, @mbyrd.bsky.social asked @marthawells.com about emotional growth, The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon, and what's next for our favorite SecUnit #Murderbot

We are just two months away from my dragon taking flight into the world. I'm all kinds of emotional this morning.

Love my library. It has the physical book I want (but there’s quite a waitlist), so I checked out to ebook to see if it’s for me. Ready to dive into “The Sock Project” by Summer Lee and learn about knitting fun socks. #booksky #libraries #knitsky

Obsessed with this one from the Galdregarden

NYTimes does a 3-part series on #Buddhism and how the #religion spread across Asia Gift links for all 3 stories by Aatish Taseer, with photos by Keerthana Kunnath, Tomoko Yoneda and Maxime Fossat www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/t... www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/t... www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/t...

Amal El-Mohtar, a co-author of "How to Lose the Time War" (loved!), gives a glowing review of Fonda Lee's "Last Contract of Isako." This is on my TBR & I'm glad it's getting noticed. (Also: Mary Robinette Kowal and Dillon Sickels do the audiobook.) Aging corporate samurai noir in space! #booksky

This is fun. La-La Land Records searches for music from older films or TV shows. #movies #music #soundtracks CD collector Nathan Pickup: “What I love is the narrative elements of film scoring. If there are themes I can pick out from a score, or certain moods it creates, that’s enough for me.” O

For @sciam.bsky.social I wrote about how powerful new x-rays and lasers are revealing an “explosion” of new minerals from Earth‘s mantle trapped in super-deep diamonds.🧪⚒️ www.scientificamerican.com/article/deep...

An interesting read from Julia Carpenter’s Substack #history #aviation #arctic Over more than three decades, Louise Arner Boyd traversed the Arctic by ship, plane and even dog sled. … In June 1955, at age 67, she became the first woman to ever successfully fly over and around the North Pole.

'Last night I dreamt I went to Orkney Library again.' Happy Birthday to Daphne Du Maurier, born 119 years ago (on the 13th May) in 1907. 🎂 Remembering that time we made a Daphne Du Maurier Biography #Bookface in the Orkney Room.

Current listen. A murder mystery by Evelyn Clarke, a pen name for V.E. Schwab and Cat Clarke. Hopeful that it’ll be an engaging story. #audiobooks #booksky

A huge congratulations is in order for @marthawells.com on hitting the @nytimes.com, @usatoday.com, AND Indie bestseller lists with #PlatformDecay !🎉 Congrats, Martha, for this well-deserved recognition! And a big thank you to the readers who made this possible!✨

I really like Maya Lin’s artistry. Her new work integrates nature. #artsky #architecture #horticulture “What I am interested in is, quite literally, grounding you in what might be right below your feet that you might not be aware of,” she added.

Interested in Geomagician by Jennifer Mandula after reading a review at Bibliosanctum #booksky “The idea that fossils can store and channel magical energy to accomplish incredible things is such a cool concept, and the story really digs into it” bibliosanctum.com/2026/04/26/b...
