Really needed a relaxing Saturday after this trying week. Iced coffee, a fun book and some hot tub time in the garden is the way.

It’s been a stressful year but pulling away from all the bad news has at least one upside, 67 books read so far!

I had a fu time setting up our own audiobook/eBook server with @codyrodriguez.bsky.social. If you’ve got a ton of digital books and a device that supports docker containers, I highly recommend Audiobookshelf!
Now I can control access to my books on my terms and use whatever devices I like.

Perfect Sunday afternoon with @codyrodriguez.bsky.social at @betterbuzzcoffee.bsky.social diving into Winter’s Orbit with loving whatever variety this delicious “iced read tea” is.

@mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social is officially my new favorite bookstore. If the killer, highly curated, book selection doesn’t win you over, their spot-on social and political takes definitely will. Smart, progressive, and totally worth the follow. 📚

Donald Trump loves Les Mis so much (and misses the message so badly) that he made “Empty chairs at empty tables” the theme of his birthday parade.
That’s why no one is there, if anyone asks.

Happy Juneteenth!
Today we celebrate Black liberation and remember that words do not become reality without work as America has yet to resolve its founding contradiction: freedom and prosperity built on enslavement and impoverishment.

I don’t care if it’s heaven or hell or some secret third option, I just hope that when I die I am as far away from these empty-eyed zealots as can be possible

Feels like we’re watching civilization take itself apart piece by piece. Rights vanishing, corruption flourishing, progress reversing. The casual efficiency of destruction is remarkable.

After a week in South Carolina, I’m finally headed home to San Diego…where the beaches are stunning, the politics aren’t terrifying, and the MAGA hats are blessedly scarce. Counting down the minutes ‘til I’m back with @codyrodriguez.bsky.social and my furry dependents 🐈🐈⬛.

Anyone have music recommendations for editing a novel? I’ve got 87k words to read and 10 hours of flight time to work with. 🤪

Well… umm maybe don’t hire, enable and protect rapists? While all Californians pay the financial cost, the real cost is felt by the victims… no amount of money undoes that trauma. Pay up. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...

Just finished All the Right Notes and had to reach out @jdominiclim.bsky.social. It hit me right in the heart. The way music brings Quito and Emmett together resonated so much. And Ujima! Just wow. I want them in my corner! Thanks for creating characters that feel like friends and for this story.

Lorenzi’s 2019 Reserve Brutus. A longtime favorite for good reason. Always amazed and happy that this quality of #wine comes from Temecula.

Accidentally ordered 5 bottles of “Wet Uranus” lube.
Amazon rep: “These can’t be returned but…” stares at photo of the box leaking enough silicone to supply a bathhouse “I’ll make an exception as the box is now see-through.”
What do I do with 45 ounces of lube???
