What’s the candle smell like, other than Steinbeck’s orchards? Listening to books via Libby while I knit off my nerves. Currently “Becoming” by Michelle Obama for inspiration and “Eligible” by Curtis Sittenfeld for distraction. #resistancereading
Burn Book by Kara Swisher for media, tech, Elon, Zuckerberg background #resistancereading

The book cover for Idle Hands. The background is a street-level photograph of Philadelphia City Hall and surrounding buildings. The building-top statue of William Penn is at the very top of the cover. The photograph is manipulated to have a deep cyan tint. The title is rendered in an orange-red, shiny font at the top. Orange flames rise from the bottom of the cover, turning to wisps of smoke at the top. In the flame stands a slim, middle-aged Black woman with a medium-length afro hairstyle--presumably Jackson Grey. Dr. Grey faces the viewer. She has a neutral expression on her face. She's wearing a grey hoodie and blue jeans. She's holding a pistol fitted with a silencer in her right hand, her finger on the trigger; the weapon is pointed down and to the side. Her left hand is held in a fist at her side. At the bottom, in a teal font that contrasts with the flame is the subtitle and author. The subtitle is "The Jackson Grey Situation #1". The author is Aubrey Jones.
Today I must join the chorus of broke-ass counterculture and queer creators having to market our work as open fascism closes its fist around us.
