Me: let me grab a book to shut my mind off from the world for a bit
Prologue: “I came west in search of a better life, but my American dream was turned into a nightmare by poverty and hardship and greed.”
Me: well damn…*keeps reading
Welp. Once again the news ruins my day.
Great reading month for me! The Great Alone was my top read of the month. What was your favorite book in August?
"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Well that only took three days. Once we get the official tax plan approved we can check off some more…-and some states can check a couple off themselves already
Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.
With no doom scrolling on TikTok today I can finally get my life together *doom scrolls BlueSky for an hour*
We could have had Tim.
Probably that and people leaving Meta!
As usual, Carl and Princess Donut the Queen Anne Chonk do not disappoint. Jeff Hays is the king of narrators #booksky

100% this…
My introduction to #booksky I guess?
📚 Reading is political
🎧 Audiobooks count as reading
📖 Reading is not a competition
🤔 Reading critically & reading for fun are not mutually exclusive
👉 If you support problematic authors, you deserve to be called out on it
🚫 Toxic positivity can eff off
Great book! I love everything I’ve read so far by @tananarivedue.bsky.social
I have my copy! But everyone go buy Gabino’s book because he’s fantastic and a “punched Ted Cruz legal fund” seems like a great cause.
This message praising him doesn’t highlight the fact that he was the first one who wanted to ban the app. Anyone sympathizing with him if he saves it, should probably pick up a copy of The Coming of The Third Reich and start reading
Literally me with any activity
Nothing like a paper towel that doesn’t tear evenly along its perforations to remind you how thin the thread you’re hanging by has become
Just finished reading Cascade Failure and also finishing up Eye of the Bedlam Bride. I’ve been thinking of reading the new Brom book I just picked up
To all of those who have asked, I will not be acknowledging the Inauguration on January 20th.
Doom scrolling tiktok until the lights go out I guess. Feels like I’m waiting for a meteor to hit
Thank you for this!
