I have zero desire to be rich. My big dream in life is the means to sustain a literary life with my partner, writing, running the bookstore, doing the work ourselves. But books cost money and great indie publishers like @malarkeybooks.bsky.social + Deep Overstock deserve compensation for their work

Chris Thile was on @npr.org's All Things Considered to talk with @doperle.bsky.social from @wkmsfm.bsky.social in Murray, KY, about his new album, 'Bach: Sonatas and Partitas, Vol. 2,' which he recorded in multiple locations of personal significance including Murray: www.nonesuch.com/journal/list...

So a big part of the Project 2025 goals hinges on forcing women out of the workforce. The Heritage Foundation knows that women voters hold the most power in terms of sheer numbers. If they can push you out of the workforce, they can push you out of your voting rights.

the only thing musk should be remembered for

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

it is kinda interesting that enki, zeus, and amun all have four letters. i wonder if the ancients were like wow 4 letters is holy as shit.

QUIET NIGHT THOUGHTS Before my bed there is bright moonlight So that it seems like frost on the ground: Lifting my head I watch the bright moon, Lowering my head I dream that I’m home.

Israel is bombing Gaza again. The so-called ceasefire has only made it harder to draw attention to ongoing violence, but Sama'a and her family need us now more than ever.

As a queer Kentuckian, I am honestly so fucking sick of hearing “fuck the South” from liberals and progressives. It’s a shit take and incredibly essentializing about one of the country’s most diverse and gerrymandered regions. Ppl need to get their hearts right

Suburban Bison Joshua and I had decided to go bowling. Neither of us had bowled in years, and we didn’t really like to bowl, so it made no sense. We were driving down Route 9 when we spotted the buffalo herd. They were grazing in the snow, and something about their improbable heads made me catch my breath. I pulled over to the side of the road. “Why are they here?” Joshua asked. “I guess it’s some kind of cruel joke,” I said. “Well, it’s not funny,” he said. “They’re way too majestic. Buffalo are supposed to roam, that’s what the song says, not be penned up along some strip for tourists to see,” he said. “It beats bowling,” I said. And so we sat there for the next hour contemplating the life of the postmodern buffalo, deconstructing their owners, and never putting them back together again.
