Have some joy. We all need it and deserve it. Knowledge is and always has been power.
being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

@sacramentokings.bsky.social this local comcast sportsnet feed is unwatchable. “Fantage Point” sucks. I’m watching on TV to get a regular broadcast. If I wanted a cheap seats view I’d go buy cheap seats.

The way @nba.com refs won’t let @sacramentokings.bsky.social play defense and absolutely don’t call anything for them on offense.

@espn.com why can’t I see the @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social as a sport or view the schedule in the ESPN app? I can see three men’s leagues but just WNBA. Unrivaled is the hottest thing in sports right now. Get it together.

At the risk of reading too much into Bluesky’s success at the moment, I do think it’s a signal that people don’t want to be surrounded by bots and manipulated algorithms

AI can only go so far. We want human connection.

Reminder from Psychology With Charlotte. Anyone have songs/album they’ve been grooving to lately?

If you are moved watching the disaster in western North Carolina and yet you are outside of it all, somewhere (for now) that is safe, what can you do? I think about it (not surprisingly if you know me) as a fractal. How can you embody care & connection at multiple levels at once?

Squeezed in a midweek date with my wife tonight. And I had therapy. Definitely a win.
Reminder to tell bluesky about the good things you read. Books, articles, blogs, Greek epigraphs written across your lover's skin, mystical sigils glowing on the walls of a brokedown palace, whatever really. Share good stuff.

Picked up R. Eric Thomas’ Here For It while on vacation in Kaua’i from used bookstore, Talk Story, in Hanapepe. They didn’t have a nonfiction section per se, but this was in bio/memoir and the cover said essays- I was sold. I’m 40+ pages in and have been giggling and enjoying it immensely.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

That feeling when an instagram influencer posts about one of your favorite spots and you know it’s going to be fucked for actual months. Sigh.

That feeling when you request that your library purchase a book and they do (they almost always do!), and then you see it on the catalogue “In Transit” and put your hold request in and know you’ll be the first to crack the spine. What a delicious mood. 📚

Absolutely adore listening to Doris Burke and Mark Jones call this Knicks vs Philly game. Like old pals with basketball insider info and some tea on the side.
