"But @claireb76.bsky.social, it's not clutter. It's the Japanese art of tsundoku."
In Japanese, "tsundoku" (积ん読) means collecting books and letting them pile up, not from neglect,
but for the joy of knowing they're there, full of untold stories. It combines "tsumu" (to pile up) & "doku" (to read).
Society long made middle-aged and older women invisible—that became our superpower.

A vertical, eye-level photograph of a dense forest filled with tall, slender tree trunks. The trees are packed closely together, creating a repetitive vertical pattern of grey and brown bark. A single trunk in the middle of the frame is struck by a narrow, intense beam of golden sunlight, causing it to glow brightly while the surrounding trees remain in deep shadow. The forest floor is covered in dry, brown vegetation, and the background fades into a soft, dark blur.
One among many.

Black-and-white photo of a short haired tuxedo tabby kitten. It is sitting up on a table covered in light fabric, in what is probably a photo studio. It is looking up brightly as if somebody might be waving a toy above its head, and it’s wearing a tiny bell around its neck.
Tiny star! Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Just want to say a giant FU to PBAC, which is only recommending semaglutide (Wegovy) to be listed on the PBS for patients who've *already* experienced a cardiovascular event such as a heart attack, stroke, or have symptomatic peripheral arterial disease. This is horribly bad public policy
