SAME. God bless audiobook authors, lifesavers. But I get a real book in front of me and oh look at the time what a nice squirrel. 😭

If we all had more time to read books, the world would be like 50% better. 😭 There are SO MANY books I want to read, review, support, but I'm in that same boat. I just can't get to them all. Audiobooks help, but jeez.

That's a toughie. I'd say maybe find a fan of something similar who knows a fan who knows a fan and boom, you have yourself your niche group of people. Not saying it's easy, just that it's out there and worth it. πŸ˜„

These clowns are running for their lives on the Epstein coverup. It's hilarious. They've got nothing. The Pizzagate loser is tweeting crazy shit at me about Obama's personal chef or something. The MAGA death spiral is real, and it's spectacular.

National Guard takes new role aiding immigration operations in GOP states The Trump administration is expanding National Guard support at immigration detention sites. Florida activated troops on Tuesday.

I wish I could properly explain to the world just how disorienting and disturbing it is to live in a country made up of 50 different countries (at least) being ruled by a cartoon drawing of a fascist who’s being ruled by a handful of cartoon Nazi billionaires desperate to crash the economy for WW3

The order that bird species start calling in the morning is mostly determined by eye size. The bigger the peepers, the more sunlight gets in, the more the bird-brain says SCREAMING TIME. #Booksky #Nature #NatureWriting #NatureBooks #TIL #Ornithology #Birds

"Unalive" is for silly times and speaking around little ones, not serious dialog. Cringe. 😬

In a society where equity is a fading whisper, we must ignite the fire of justice. Every voice matters, every story holds power. Let’s dismantle the walls of privilege, shatter the glass ceilings, and reclaim our shared humanity. This fight isn’t just ours; it belongs to generations yet to rise.

Nothing like being pushed from saying "I don't want to do X" to "I can't do X, I'm disabled" ... then STILL being pressured into doing it to really ruin your day.
Guys, for the love of all that's holy, for all of eternity, "no" means no without any explanation owed.

They say unicorns bow to virgin maidens,
but they don’t say what happens after they kneel.
They don’t say what the horn is for.
They say they are gentle,
but only in the way a trap is gentle when it waits.

They say unicorns bow to virgin maidens, but they don’t say what happens after they kneel. They don’t say what the horn is for. They say they are gentle, but only in the way a trap is gentle when it waits.

I am still haunted by this poem, "The Myth Was Never The Unicorn," written by one of the teens who participated in the creative writing program at the museum this summer. A reminder that girls are always aware.

Read the full piece and listen to the author recite it: journey75.org/2025/the-myt...

Donald Trump is not a political story, it’s a crime story. And understanding him does not depend on political science, but psychology.

Pet peeve #387: Don't complain about a story ending being obvious or a lack of "surprise" unless that was *explicitly* advertised. Did you ENJOY it? Was it FUN? That's what matters. Not every story has to be a baffling mystery.

It's called color THEORY not color hypothesis. Now take off that hideous sweater, it's clashing with your eyes something fierce.
