Current read: “From political economist @robertreich, a lucid, impassioned argument that America's working class has been systematically betrayed—not by one party alone, but by a bipartisan baby-boom America that made progress in certain areas, but fell short in so many important ways.”

Wanna see something cool?

At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is.

The result? The crowd losing its mind. 🔥

“Death is fast, doom is slow.” Johanna Hedva detonates a bomb in our collective understanding of care & illness. Radical reimagining of a world where care & pain are symbiotic reminds us that illness is neither inconvenience nor inevitability but an enlivening elemental part of being alive. #booksky

Latest bedtime story! Mortals & spirits, humans & beasts, ancient folktales that may well be true.

“Some think foxes are similar to ghosts because we go around collecting qi, but nothing could be further than the truth. We are living creatures, just like you, only usually better looking” #booksky

Sometimes I am still this same little sour kid, feeling this same little sour way about the tragic absurdity of the world.

Current audio bedtime story: “A woman inherits a pawnshop where you can sell your regrets, and then joins a charming physicist on a magical journey to find her father — by way of rain puddles, rides on paper cranes, the bridge between midnight and morning, and a night market in the clouds.” #booksky

Rereading my tattered paperback of Godbless you, Mr. Rosewater because, after all, when it comes to writers like #vonnegut, they’re “the only ones with guts enough to really care about the future, to really notice what machines do to us, what war does to us… what catastrophes do to us.”
