It’s Murderbot & ART/Perihelion for me 😍 but oh, friendships forming is one of my fave things to read in a book! @kazaral.bsky.social would agree, I’m sure

For the past 8 months, I’ve been in a health crisis that left me unable to read much with my eyeballs. For someone who usually finishes 200+ books a year, that’s a real problem. But my librofm account has saved my sanity! Listening to my fave books over and over has been healing my soul. 📚🇳🇿

Haha she’s clearly well loved! (I definitely would’ve guessed books, it’s always my problem when moving.)

Getting all my shameless advertising over in one post in case there are people here who genuinely would like to know about these offers! These are at participating bookshops so check first! #pukapuka

What a great shot!

Miscellanea: The War in Iran This post is a set of my observations on the current war in Iran and my thoughts on the broader strategic implications. I am not, of course, an expert on the region nor do I have access to any spec…

Well, I am not sure what my analysis here is worth, but here is my 7,500 word primal scream of a military historian's take on the War in Iran.

What if you had (newly-installed techno) super powers, but a head injury and subsequent brain fog made you forget you had them, and then you just accidentally started activating them without knowing how to control them?

Haha what a great photo. My 11 yo godson recently asked his mother for a Bible, and when she worriedly told me, I told her that the best cure for wanting to read the Bible is actually reading it! I bought him one, but now he’s also getting interfaith instruction from me during a weekly visit 😅

Glad you guys are okay! Incredible weather

Ohhhh I’m drooling just imagining them! Sounds delicious

Good on her for going to the hospital! Bypass is scary stuff but they’re so good at it these days. Here’s hoping for an easy surgery and recovery! ❤️‍🩹

Had no idea dry cleaning costs were so high but tbf, the only thing I’ve ever had dry cleaned was my wedding dress & that cost me $150 in 2012. Saw someone on TikTok who paid $900 for the same thing recently 😳

Unlike me, my grandpas were as rugged as it gets. One was the foreman of a forestry logging company after working his way up the ranks, and the other was in the Army for a couple of decades before becoming a lighthouse keeper. 💪
