Lovely novella about the posthumous travels of a child saint. Great cover, too. #booksky #weekendreads

Loved this! Really liked his others (Calling A Wolf, Martyr!), but Pilgrim Bell was spectacular. #poetry #booksky

Learned a lot from this book from my #library, an interesting if infuriating takedown of private equity, which profiles 4 affected people who took them on. Recommended! #booksky

If only we’d known in 2015 that we could just turn off the escalator.

Used up my entire daily allotment of energy this morning pitching books, and yet the day continued, and somehow it's only 2:30 now, and I'm still expected to talk to people and do things? The day is not over yet??

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

It is our patriotic duty, all of us, to mock these pathetic fucking simps everywhere they go. They shouldn't have a single waking moment free of mockery.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

A Democratic message that leaned in HARD into uplifting the idea of the commons and re-teaching people about importance of PUBLIC GOODS and the fact that they are GOOD and FOR EVERYONE would be an easy place to mobilize lots of people towards a project of building.
