Props to @annaleen.bsky.social for making me think "man, I hate humans" mid-way through Automatic Noodles. It's been a while since I've had such a visceral reaction to a book. Loving this so far! π πͺπ

I was planning on finishing a book tonight. Instead I spent the last 3 hours adding new and upcoming books to my TBR.
How many books? I'm glad you asked. 28
For reference last year I read 121 books. My TBR is basically a hydra. #booksky

The best analyst π Tell that to my staff that spent 6 hours "talking" to gpt on how to do smth that I figured out from the first stack overflow post on Google.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

I'm going to have to rewatch this when I'm not also actively parenting. So many great quotes I'm only partially catching.

I bought a kite for my daughter last year on a short beach vacation. I ask her every time it's windy if she wants to go fly her kite. She doesn't. I love it though, flying a kite is so peaceful.
