Goodreads has gone downhill since Amazon acquired it. I switched to StoryGraph and love it.

Exploring Pozzuoli Ciao cari lettori e saluti dall’italia! It’s a rainy day here in Napoli. (Piove = it’s raining.) I went out a bit earlier today (some of you may have seen my lives and posts on Insta), but the rain…

I moved to Italy & am exploring my new city:

We need more law firms to stand up & protect the rule of law. Good on @marcelias.bsky.social & ELG for doing just that.

Read the entire thread.

Together, these two faiths crave the end of American liberal democracy and government. You can smell it at GSA.

They won't replace us with AI because 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒖𝒔 𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍. They want our work to end. DOGE is firing us as fast as possible, and that is the whole plan.

Celebrating Poetry Many, many moons ago, I considered myself a poet. I wrote poetry, kept a poetry journal, submitted my poems to poetry competitions and publications, and I even attended poetry festivals and worksho…

National Poetry Month is coming up next month. And I decided to take on the challenge of writing a poem a day to celebrate.

For those who are looking for ways to support federal workers and protest the chaotic dismantling of government:
·       Contact your members of Congress - www.congress.gov/members
·       Send a Fed/former Fed a kind message
·       Write a post/op-ed
·       Take part in demonstrations

#FedLove

Is there room for improvement at any organization? Yes. But the solution isn’t to come in and slash and burn with no rhyme, no reason, and with no understanding of how it all works. These mass firings aren’t about efficiency or cost savings.

And ~85% of federal workers live outside of the National Capitol Region. They are:
👩‍🚒 Firefighters
👩‍⚕️ VA doctors
🧑‍🔬 Scientists
👨‍💼 Water safety inspectors
🌲 Park rangers

They are our neighbors, friends, and family. They chose public service to serve their country and make a difference.

I have friends and colleagues who were fired for no reason this week. Everyone at every federal department/agency is on edge, frustrated, scared, and still trying to do their work for their agency.

These are people with mortgages, school loans, car loans, kids to feed.

Yes, this is why I now support @theguardian.com and no longer support Bezos’s vanity press.

Jasper apparently doesn’t appreciate Russian literature. #fridaynightvibes

I’ve been so motivated with my #2025OffMyShelf reading challenge, I created Part 2!

The Part 2 Reading Challenge is also on Story Graph. The links for SG as well as a jpg or pdf version of the bingo board are on my blog: wanderinglynn.com/2025/01/23/2...

My cat loves to be in the pillowcase.

The chunkster, Don Quixote, is Off My Shelf! 7 prompts done.

If I clear the board, I’ll start over & see if I can do it again (because I have *that* many books on my TBR bookcase).

Join me this year in reading books off your TBR - wanderinglynn.com/2025/01/04/2...

My supervisor, always hard at work.

The newest book on my TBR is now #OffMyShelf & moved onto my PangoBooks bookshelf.

So far in January, I’ve read at least 100 pages every day & I’m half-way through the chunkster!

So far, January is a stellar reading month (mostly thanks to snow and cold temps!). I’ve read at least 100 pages every day.
