One of my favorite things about my dilettantism is when real specialists come in and think “somebody really knows a lot about x.” We’ve heard this about our small architecture section before. But nope … clueless. Utterly. Just love beautiful books.

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

This database cool is seriously the coolest thing. When I read “every fire you tend” and “the last pomegranate tree” I thought — I’d really like to learn more about Kurdish literature — and now!!
Also particularly excited to spread the word about a new Kurdish publishing house, Henar Press, henarpress.org, which also has this Kurdish Literary Database (henarpress.org/database) of Kurdish works in English translated from Sorani Kurdish, Turkish, Arabic, Kurmanji, German, Farsi, & more.

Happy 91st birthday to Wendell Berry, who once wrote to me when I was feeling very alone and homesick for Kentucky:

"Feeling far from home, I think, is probably a sign of good health."

Gary and I are going to take up a heavy smoking habit until the folks at @dalkeyarchive.bsky.social send us each a copy of the new edition of Mathews’s Cigarettes with the Sante introduction.

If they want to save our lives they’ll do the right thing.
