fyi a fun way to answer this is by going “well let me put it this way, what do YOU do?”

and they’ll be like “I’m a dentist”

then you smile and rock back on your heels and go “oh, done any root canals I might have heard of?”

Unfortunately if you buy the book any place OTHER than John’s own store, he will never see a cent, because Unbound. So please buy from his shop!

you think you need to leave intelligent, thoughtful comments? lmao no

“loved it!” is all you need to say. blurt that out on Steam, YouTube, Amazon for whatever game, book, or video caught your fancy

The algorithm is all consuming but you can help cool people by just commenting “👍🏼”’ so do it

to diminish the humanities is to miss out on a lot of little guys. that’s no way to live.

This is worth doing for your own benefit too - I started doing this like a decade ago and i genuinely think it's one of the reasons I don't hatewatch shit. My attention is for things I enjoy, and positive comments, even simple ones, reinforce that.

been adding all the trans Tuesdays podcast eps to YouTube and I can’t tell you how important this is

even just one or two comments makes the views go up as it gets shown to more people

plus literally ANYTHING to balance out the amount of transphobic slop replies I have to moderate is nice

My wife has been HIV+ for 34 years. She’s alive today b/c work of activists who destigmatized the virus, pushed medical science to adapt & find ways to treat it, & advocated for gov health programs that helped fund her care. The current U.S. regime may want to go back in time, but we won’t let them.

Okay, lets break down this image!
Background; I have a masters in architecture, and I have worked for a firm that specialized in custom built, detached family homes, which is what this is obviously supposed to be. I also worked for a firm drafting custom high end kitchens.

So lets analyze this...

Solidarity Stitches Us Together: Today, World AIDS Day, Is Also the 70th Anniversary of Rosa Parks's Historic Protest I saw two radically different versions of what a quilt could be yesterday and yet they spoke to the same issues. I caught the show Routed West: Twentieth-Century African American Quilts in California ...

And wrote about the quilt and related matters here. Thanks for all you do, Marisa.

i spent a little while going through the AIDS quilt and picked out a few panels that stuck out to me for one reason or another. may the memories of all these beautiful, far too young souls be a blessing.

Books We Love Here are 380+ great reads from 2025 handpicked just for you by NPR staffers and trusted critics.

Here’s this year’s Books We Love—but thanks to lots of work by lots of people, you can also look over all the Books We Love years back to 2013. It’s a remarkable project, and I can say that because I have nothing to do with it. (/fin)
