Just finished many hours of signing the books you all have preordered from @loyaltybooks.bsky.social. Shout out to those who got books not only for yourself but for your kids, your grandchildren, your students, and even the kid down the street who keeps riding his bike over your lawn. I’m grateful.

Listen, I think if it is gonna storm every afternoon for some random amount of time it should count as automatic reading breaks. We all just stop, drop, and read. No email, no real life, just book. Seems entirely reasonable to me.
