I had a very similar experience. It took me a couple months of on and off reading to finish, and I’m not generally a slow reader. (And I read a lot of LitFic so it wasn’t that.)

Haven’t been here in a while and trying to start using it again but I guess that means I’m going to have to mute / block a bunch of authors abusing the booksky feed tags! #BookSky

Sinners (2025) Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

This was really excellent. I am absolutely loving the innovation in horror these days. Brilliant, timely, moving.

I’m viewing that part as a bit of a TBD for the moment, as past comments were not great but there is always room for a change of opinion. Comments re: migrants, the poor, guns etc. are all pretty favorable.

Also still more progressive than the White House even so!

Uhhh are a bunch of Catholic Cardinals better at voting in someone with progressive values than the American people? It’s not a high bar, but signs point to yes! Twice in a row, even.

Own true thing that’s is hard to accept even after all these years is that getting the energy to work out can feel impossible but then if I do it I feel so energized after. Even on leg day.

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like β€œwe need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

A β˜…β˜…β˜…Β½ review of Mississippi Burning (1988) Solid middlebrow fare with spectacular central performances that elevate it quite a bit. 2025 and 1964 look too much alike from where I’m sitting.

First time watch. Pretty middlebrow fare elevated by central performances from a trio of all-time-greats (Hackman, Defoe and McDormand). Would love to see a less sensationalized and fictionalized version of this story made some day.

I have not read this one but I have felt like the last handful of romance novels I’ve read were all about 75 pages too long. Wonder what’s going on.

Gene Hackman Died From Heart Disease a Week After the Death of His Wife, Who Had Hantavirus (Gift Article) The actor’s wife, Betsy Arakawa, died of a respiratory illness, New Mexico officials said. Mr. Hackman had Alzheimer’s, which contributed to his death from heart disease.

What a terribly sad ending. I hope they’re both resting peacefully.

Yeah I’ve noticed this too and it’s frustrating because this is the feed I spend the most time on… or that I want to spend the most time on but am getting discouraged by this practice.

Taking a moment to remind myself that people who are filled with rage are usually miserable.
