Today’s a good day to not judge someone’s entire life by one random social media post. That can wait until Monday.

Stephen Blumberg stole more books than anyone in history—and called it preservation. www.thebibliophile.com/p/the-most-d... #booksky

What’s better than book mail? And today I was thrilled to receive an expertly curated selection of dystopian novels courtesy of @kayoulerarebooks.bsky.social Can’t wait to dig into these. #booksky

Where normal people see a book, booklovers see an archaeological site. www.thebibliophile.com/p/trash-unti... #booksky

“I think books are like people, in the sense that they'll turn up in your life when you most need them.” ― Emma Thompson #booksky

Quite the successful haul from Houston on Independent Bookstore Day, limited, as always, by my suitcase. A nice bonus was a complimentary “mystery book” from Forgotten Lore Bookshop in Friendswood, which turned out to be a lovely Beckett trilogy. #booksky

It’s never too early for a slice of Pink’s.

The dust jacket survived because book lovers have always cared about the things around a book as much as what's inside it. #booksky www.thebibliophile.com/p/trash-unti...

When in Texas…

First two spots in the books, pun intended. #booksky

A fairly standard Myers-Briggs assessment.

Every day is book day. 📚💙

Texas office for the next few days. What’s missing? (Hint: books, books, and books) #booksky

This is why I love bookish communities. Someone just sent me a link to a searchable map of indie bookstores participating in Indie Bookstore Day 2026. #booksky www.indiebound.org/independent-...

Fate’s been kind: I’ll be in Houston, a surprisingly bookish city, on Saturday for Independent Bookstore Day. Here’s the stores I’m hitting: Blue Willow Brazos Kaboom Becker’s Books Abound Copperfield’s Jem Forgotten Lore Kindred Stories Quarter Price Books Which ones am I missing? #booksky

The lives of book dealers Leona Rostenberg & Madeleine Stern read like a quaint story about two women and their dachshunds. What's missed is how their "fingertip feeling" reminds us that a Kindle is a filing cabinet, but a book is a guest in the room. #booksky www.thebibliophile.com/p/the-physic...

People have given me grief about the number of lamps in my book room, but we need enough light to read. Am I right? #booksky

If only there was an electrolyte drink that tasted like cherry and blue raspberry ICEE®.

I’m no Luddite, but few things beat carving some time out of the day to read a physical paper… made even better when there’s a whole section dedicated to books.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #booksky

Hope you’re having a great day!

I started a new project called The Bibliophile. Short pieces about books—not reviews, but the objects, the people, and how they move through the world. First piece is live: The Physical Book: An Absurdity in the Digital World thebibliophile.substack.com/p/the-physic... #booksky

Just got my favorite type of mail. Replaces a fallen comrade.

A disturbing number of friends have recently started conversations by saying, "I was talking with ChatGPT…"

My work here is done.

I had a discussion with a friend of mine who knows nothing about punk rock music and couldn't shut up about how great the new Billy Idol documentary is. We then had a 2hr discussion on the origins of the British punk scene. Him: "Did you know Billy Idol was in a band called Generation X?" Me: 🙄

Writing Changed My Life (I Just Didn’t Know It At The Time) Writing: ✔️Crystallizes your thinking ✔️Helps build communities and opportunities ✔️Can feel intimidating, but you don’t need permission to start ✔️Has paid off for me in ways I never expected over the past two decades youtu.be/AnkcTtn8q3c

My French toast game is legendary.

I’m not sure, but I may have transitioned into the elastic band/drawstring pants stage of life.

If your inbox was analog.

When you crushed the ’80s — and the 2000s are gonna be even better.

24 years ago tonight. Man, does time fly.

I’ll be a billionaire when grey nose hair becomes a rare commodity.

Hit 8,000 ft this morning. What a glorious day.

Having a belated Chinese New Year celebration today on a beautiful SoCal day.

A stray started showing up a few weeks ago. At first, she wouldn’t come near us when we fed her. Now she waits at the door every morning, and as soon as she sees me with food, she drops to the ground and rolls around in excitement.

1986: “Oh my God, our son wants to be a plumber.” 2026: “Our son wants to be a plumber, thank God.”

Everyone has bad days.

I’ll allow it.

Fashion is an East Coast thing. Prove me wrong.

A distraction-free Saturday morning begins now.

📚Read 🧠Think ✍️Write

Over bettors right now...

Happy Saturday! 🏔️

God, I miss the days when this was the only famous Epstein.

The funniest story opening I’ve ever read.

All you owe your kids is fewer dishes and less emotional baggage. Everything after that is gravy.

This is the time of year when we finally get some ROI on our “weather tax.”

Most people couldn’t even identify Denmark on a map.

Fun Fact: The U.S. purchased the Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1916 for $25 million in gold. The purchase was partly strategic as the U.S. wanted to prevent Germany from using the islands as a submarine base and to secure a stronger naval presence in the Caribbean.
