There’s nothing humane about treating an animal well only until it’s profitable for them to be eaten and discarded.

Read more about the contrast between the humane hoax and sanctuary on our latest blog post: microsanctuary.org/2025/03/04/t...

Can going vegan for one month have an impact? At the individual level, see how the month-long campaign can have a significant impact on both animals and the environment. 🧵

As we always love to point out, #roosters are protective, nurturing members of their flocks. They monitor for potential danger and stand by their flockmates when they’re occupied with activities like dust bathing, eating, or laying.

Good job, Bridgers!

Gosh, this first episode was absolutely incredible. As a Tower Junkie, I have to say, @scribeofhades.bsky.social you were such a joy to listen to when discussing the book. I’m so excited for this!

The first episode the Dark Tower Deep Dive is now live!!!

@natcassidy.bsky.social, @scribeofhades.bsky.social and myself talking about THE GUNSLINGER. It’s a labour of love.

It’s 100% spoiler free about anything beyond this book.

Enjoy - all podcast platforms.

Long days and pleasant nights.

Regardless, I’m grateful beyond words for these works, the Constant Reader community (truly some of the kindest people on the internet), and the places I’ve gone in my imagination through all of this reading.

If I was on the English lit PhD track today, would I swap William Blake for a deep dive dissertation on the Dark Tower? Maybe.

And many of the other books will be revisited with regularity (such as the Steven Weber audiobook performance of IT, which is truly incredible).

Now I’ve made four journeys to the Tower and am officially a Tower Junkie as well as a Constant Reader. It’s a journey I’ve taken once a year since 2022 and plan to take annually.

I did take a break while academic work pushed me in other directions—except to finish The Dark Tower (at long last!) when those final books were published.

Reading King as a lonely middle & high schooler in the ‘90s is a singular experience that I know a lot of my fellow Gen X/Xennial comrades will likely remember with great fondness.

It’s hard to believe that 35+ years ago, when I was around 10 years old, I picked up a book that changed my life forever with one sentence:

“The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.”

I’m in the homestretch of the last book by Stephen King that I’ve never read before, and (with a few minor things as well) the last until my complete reading of his works, which I began in 2022, is finished.
