No top reads of February, alas. But: I’m spending my spring break listening to Chappell Roan, wearing red lipsticks and reading about geology, shoals, alchemy, settlers, blackness and Scotland and finally, finally banging out this article in a form (relatively) suitable for editorial/peer review.

Much respect to Orisanmi Burton for rejecting his book, Tip of the Spear's nomination for the AAIHS Pauli Murray Book Prize. From twitter, "in full political alignment with the Palestinian Liberation movement and this Open Letter" hammerandhope.org/article/pale...

Newest books from Vroman’s ❤️ I borrow books through my public libraries, see which ones I can’t stop thinking about and then buy them when I can.

Two of these were in my top ten fiction reads last year; one of these got five 🌟from me this year.

Reading can be, at its best, such a gift, a balm.

Last night I had a dream where a polar bear was trying to attack me but then it stopped and ran off with my cheese???

So that’s how week one of Vegan February is going 😂

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

January is almost over and I have read 25 new books.

That tells you something about the clusterfuck we are living in and through.

My friends and I are in a Capital bookclub and this meme is 100% accurate.

(FWIW, I would never begrudge a Taurus their need to discuss fabrics.)

It has been difficult to write for a while now.

But if you’d like to read my reflection on someone else’s meaningful writing, here is my review of Marjorie Lotfi’s collection of poems, The Wrong Person to Ask, published in the most recent issue of The Bottle Imp.
