Maybe I should actually write about all the books I read. Longer reviews @ https://curiousartifacts.substack.com.
Another #non-fiction read. Best for folks actually involved in #union #organizing. Still interesting for all audiences, but it's incredibly detailed in its case studies. Good analysis of what works and what doesn't.

I'm new to #mutualaid but this was a good, concise introduction. The latter half better for folks who have actually started doing the work. (Which will hopefully be me soon!) #BookSky #Non-Fiction #Activism

From current read:

"Getting support at a place that sees these systems, not the people suffering in them, as the problem can help move people away from shame to anger and defiance." - Mutual Aid by Dean Spade

Good time to explain what my ratings mean. Since I very rarely pick up books I don't like, more useful for me to differentiate between the ones I do enjoy. So my ratings my be lower than other folks, but anything that's a 3 and above is probably pretty good!

Enjoyed my first dive into Clark's #steampunk alternate history #fantasy. (More 3.5/5 than 3/5 honestly.) Setting is obviously great, but I enjoyed the three female leads. Can definitely see this as the type of series where I get more into it as I spend more time with the characters. #BookSky

Introducing Mochi, our #calico #tabby 3 year old girl. Also know as Burburp. She has one of the most unique face patterns I've ever seen! #catsofbsky

I thought this would be standalone, and I'm so glad it's not! Chakraborty has such an effortless and comfortable style. Amina is a very lovable, takes no-shit female protagonist. I'm also glad for the references at the end; the setting of the Indian Ocean is so fascinating!

First book of the year! A bit disappointing. Not enough Zetian just tearing shit up. Not enough mecha battles. But still enjoyable, and I'm excited for the next one.

Today I learned: In Canva, you can't download an uncompressed JPG/PNG in the free version. And in the free version of Visme you can't download the image at all. No reviews mentioned this.

Giving social media another try. I'll mostly talk about books. Sometimes I'll post my attempts to get back into art after dropping out of art school more than a decade ago. More likely will post the kitties.
