My mom became very concerned when I told her at 16 that In Cold Blood was my favorite book

Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

The worst part of any bike ride is cars.

this morning, mamdani’s team got in touch with me to float a new tax proposal: if your net worth exceeds $5 million and you dress badly, you’ll be hit with a 10% annual levy for “visual pollution.” i would be in charge of deciding if the outfits are bad.

Man, you ever think how lucky we are to have BOOKS? And how no matter how fast we read or how long we live, we will never run out of fantastic books to read? What a life

Not so bad. Single Axel coming back to me. #figureskating #adultsskatetoo

Immediately logged on to Bluesky to see what you had to say about the event 😭😭

Realizing that maybe that came off as criticism 😅

To be clear, I highly recommend reading to understand the full picture of what the economy of the future could look like and what "Degrowth" means. #booksky

Book cover of "The Future is Degrowth: A Guide to a World beyond Capitalism"

Page from "The Future is Degrowth: A Guide to a World beyond Capitalism" outlining the seven forms of growth critique central to Degrowth: ecological critique, socioeconomic critique, cultural critique, critique of capitalism, feminist critique, critique of industrialism, South North critique.

For me, this book didn't feel particularly revelatory because it's just common sense. Infinite growth is impossible on a finite planet, and measuring economic stability with a single metric (GDP) completely flattens and obstructs reality. @matthiasschmelzer.bsky.social @avansi.bsky.social #climate

flirting with people so I can get them to read my work

Copy of Abandon Me by Melissa Febos. In the background is a pile of cigarette butts and an empty liquor bottle on the sidewalk.

If you want to ruin your day, might I recommend Abandon Me by Melissa Febos? An incredible memoir showing how the fear of being abandoned — by a parent, by a lover — can lead us to abandon ourselves. #booksky #books #reading #memoir

In On Tyranny, Snyder recommends that kids should read... Harry Potter!

There is so much dystopian YA fiction where characters overthrow tyranny. Maybe don't choose the one where the solution is: "everything stays the same but now the good guys are in charge! btw slavery still exists!" #booksky

Book title of the audiobook version of On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder

Book title of the audiobook version of Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates

Baby's first day trying audiobooks!

Tbh was disappointed by On Tyranny. I found it too surface level (I'm prob not the target), and some of the arguments were lacking (See below).

Between The World and Me, however, is incredible. Wonderful prose and insight. Great listen.

Hand holding a copy of Vantage Points by Chase Joynt with shadows of a magnolia tree in the background

Vantage Points by Chase Joynt. A surprising read on transmasculine identity and how it relates to childhood sexual abuse. Another perspective (or vantage point?) to add to my own quest to understand what role trauma plays in developing queer identities. #books #booksky #reading #lgbtq #trans #queer
