My god Toni Morrison's sentences are the most beautiful instruments for ripping my heart out. #booksky #reading #books #fiction #bookrecommendation

Did not expect to find such pertinent wisdom and feeling in a book of poetry about dogs. Dog Songs by Mary Oliver #poetry #booksky #bookrecommendation #reading #dogs

Obsessed with reading about the history of food. Ways of Eating by Benjamin A. Wurgraft & Merry I. White featuring the Thanksgiving feast I made. #booksky #reading #cooking #food

Written in prose but more like poetry. This Is How You Lose the Time War by @amalelmohtar.com & @maxgladstone.bsky.social #reading #booksky

Maybe it’s just my brain chemistry changing, but I’m starting to enjoy books in the way mid-2000’s library propaganda said I would.

Horrible news that Alice Wong has passed away. Obviously known as a disability rights leader, she was also a wonderful writer. If you haven't read her books, I highly recommend Year of the Tiger! #disability #books #reading #booksky

A cozy little Dark Souls night in 💕 #darksouls #videogames #gaming #gamergirl

Consent by Vanessa Springora, a memoir of the sexual abuse she endured beginning at 13 at the hands of a famous writer. Every story like this is different but also the same. #booksky #books #reading #nonfiction #memoir #trauma #abuse

Motivated to get my attention span back after reading The Sirens' Call by @chrislhayes.bsky.social. It's horrifying how my hand itches for the phone when it's away. #booksky #books #reading #socialmedia #mentalhealth #capitalism

people are justifying their AI use with “well, any tech you use uses data centers.” it’s like drag racing a hummer and saying it’s the same as commuting in a prius.

If you’re new to bluesky you should find and account you like and pretend it’s your wife. Show its posts to your coworkers and be like I love her so much

i think to be loved and loving others might be the meaning of life

I think this might be my new favorite book? The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. Exactly what I needed to read in this moment about partnership, about society, and about our mutual responsibility to one another. #books #reading #scifi #booksky #anarchy

None of us can do everything but each of us can do SOMETHING.

I want to once again encourage everyone who can to take advantage of opportunities to gather with others in person. It's more important than ever. It was wonderful to be with folks today at Communiversity. We'll be back at it next Saturday. Join in if interested.

I keep my car very clean. There's usually nothing in it. Today is an exception. If someone breaks in, they will get cabbage.

are you even in my life if I don't talk about you in therapy

Presenter: ‘Hey, you should use AI’ Me:

traditional media might suck, but that doesn’t mean social media is the better alternative. we desperately need to rebuild a robust media system or we’re fucked.

Friends. Sunset. Puget Sound. What more could I ask for? #seattle #nature

pretty much the best feeling in the world to have someone find joy and distraction in something you made

Pants with deep pockets. That's all. #lgbtq #queer #fashion #enby

One of the most important things when it comes to controlling what happens in the future is controlling what people are allowed to imagine today.

Choir nerds assemble!! Love singing in the Bellevue Chamber Chorus. 💙🎵 #choir #music #singing #classicalmusic

The frenglish in this house is crazy. My husband just said "I need to faire the thing. Afterwards je come back." #French #français #francoamericain

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I got my first request from a literary agent for sample chapters 🥺 #writersky

“Not only AI enthusiasts, but even some scholars whose expertise concentrates on identifying and critically interrogating ideologies and sociotechnical relationships (…) unfortunately fall prey to the teleological belief that AI is an unstoppable force.” — zenodo.org/records/1706...

Oh wow the unfriending I'm doing bc of how ppl are responding to Charlie Kirk's death... Honestly, it's my fault for assuming young women in STEM would be progressive. Can't expect more from white women atp.

Reading about this brought to mind a piece I wrote two years ago, inspired by one of my favourite authors. Ursula K. Le Guin emphasized that there’s a big difference “between production of a market commodity and the practice of an art.” OpenAI’s AI-generated movie offers us nothing.

A refusal to seriously address racism is why everyone is here. I don't know what to tell you.

I don't want AI. All I want is to make paper with my friends. #creative #art #craft #sustainability #community

Hungover. Woke up early. Reorganized my bookshelf. The classic literature section is now in order of publication date, with a few exceptions where I wanted to keep authors together. #booksky

WE DID IT JOE. I have completed Seattle Summer Book Bingo. 23 books. #booksky #reading #seattle #bookbingonw2025

What can I say? I love a down-on-his-luck teenage boy with a heart of gold. Demon Copperhead is my new darling, alongside Holden Caulfield. #booksky #reading

Sometimes all a girl needs is an hour in a bookshop.

cannot believe august slipped away into a moment in time once again 😭

Finished the first draft of my book! It's off to my editor! If you want to read a book about: - high school - confronting sexual trauma - 2014 Tumblr aesthetic - feminism & genderqueerness Stay tuned 👀 #writersky #booksky

Things that have changed my culinary life this year: - Papa Tony's Hot Sauce (the mango habanero is so fucking good) - weekly farm box delivery from Helsing Junction Farms - an immersion blender #cooking #seattle #washington #food

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” ~Ray Bradbury Keep reading, friends. 📚

We simply do not have to live this way.

so many startups are convinced the thing I want most is to record every word ever uttered around me and I cannot think of anything I'm less keen on
