15/52 complete... How did I fall so far behind in my goal to read 52 books this year? I am currently reading the Murdberbot Diaries by @marthawells.com; only three more of the series left... what's next? #booksky

What happens when you make the discovery of a lifetime? How about the discovery that will change humanity's very understanding of the universe? Deep Past & Resurrecting Bart by @eugenelindenauthor.bsky.social are pivotal pieces that deeply explore what makes us human. ♾️ ⭐ #booksky 💙 📚

As someone currently in the market to purchase a new home, it has been crazy to watch (and be part of) the market changes.
Homeowners are clearly looking for savings, even if it means taking on a riskier mortgage. Refinance demand, along with renewed demand for adjustable-rate loans, drove a sharp increase in overall applications last week.
Weekly mortgage refinancing demand shoots 23% higher, with riskier loans making a comeback
Mortgage rates dropped again last week, spurring big demand for mortgage refinancing. ARM loans also increased, as they offer lower rates.

Camp Damascus, by @chucktingle.bsky.social, brought me to chills. This was an exquisitely emotional read that delved into how community can either bring joy or drain the life out of us, depending on whether that community accepts us with unconditional love.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #booksky 💙 📚

Another week, another series… Shawn Inmon’s Lost Eden series brought me to world of conflict. This series isn’t about prose or beauty but about an adventure that spirals out of control. A prime example of how an author can accidentally scramble a plot with too many left-field ideas. 💙📚

John Varley’s Thunder & Lightning series is a masterclass in narration. A believable, yet intensely unique future unfolds unwittingly in the laps of the next generation. Sound familiar? 3/5, would recommend purely for his artistic use of perspective and narrative. #booksky 💙📚

“Problem was, whenever I locked eyes with an animal I felt something more soulful than I ever felt from the humans I knew…” Lynda Rutledge artfully renders the question of immortal legacy. A heart wrenching story about hardship, mortality, and our lost stories, evaluated beyond reproach. 💙📚

Mammoth by John Varley takes a trip through time in this predictably unpredictable parable on the unique complexities of our universe and the connections we make along the way. My first John Varley novel, and I’m excited to read his other works. #booksky 💙📚

Get your Merry Measure out… because Go Luck Yourself by Sara Raasch is the comedy romance we needed this spring. Following a similar structure as her first of this mini-series, this book is pure Joy. I would have loved more from the story arch and the endless wonder this universe has to offer but 5⭐️

This year has been a slow start, but I just finished Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes, and before that The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. See inline for my thoughts, and let me know how you felt about these!

The lesson of having high expectations and the acceptance that these expectations will be rarely met is something I was not prepared for as an adult.

Target... how many lives do you think you have changed by seeing #LGBTQ people, representing them, & supporting them. As a proud previous Target employee, this was the first company that saw me for me, gave me hope that even in a red state, I could be safe. That's Target. NOT THIS.
Target is ending its diversity goals, joining other major companies scaling back DEI programs
Discount store chain Target says it's joining rival Walmart and a number of other prominent American brands in scaling back corporate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

During Christmas Day, we had a family reunion with both sides of the family. The last time I can recall we had a reunion was about 15 years ago, probably longer.

The amount of research coming out about the decline of various species is frightening. My biggest dream as a kiddo was to not only see African #elephants in the wild but to help in the #conservation efforts. What's left to live for if all of what makes this world special goes to flames?
There’s been a 77% decline in forest and savanna elephant populations across Africa since 1964, says a new study.
The paper provides critical insights into areas of concern. It also highlights bright spots with stable or growing populations. We can learn from the success stories.
