What I'm reading & what I've read (nonfiction) 2025 🧵
I was raised by a formerly-Catholic-atheist who didn't do any unlearning & I frequently sum it up as: none of the faith or community, all of the guilt
Look I'm just going to say it: As someone who was raised atheist, I think a lot of you are bringing the baggage about the religion you were raised in into your atheism & it's not healthy.

I love pulling out my liter water bottle that I refill partway through the day in addition to coffee, kombucha, etc at this one. Just take a loooooooong sip through the straw with a blank stare.
"You're probably just dehydrated."

It's disgusting that in addition to doing it they're trying to be cute about it. It's not cute. It doesn't deserve a cute zingy name.
I refuse to call an American concentration camp the same thing it calls itself at its attached gift shop
Maybe American journalism should search in the garbage for its self-respect and start taking the same position?

At this point I'm just worried about the health of the upstairs neighbor's knees. It's not good for you to stomp around all the time.

Small joys: I bought a popsicle mold & for my first batch made Peanut butter fudge froyo pops
1/2 cup plain yogurt*
2 hot cocoa packets
Big honkin scoop peanut butter
Milk of choice until you reach 2 cups total
Blend until smooth & portion into popsicle molds
I plan to add a banana next time

Yes every conservative social media site becomes a tropical rainforest of school shooters and Ponzi schemes but did you know that there is a left-wing social media site where people are rude to the nation’s center-right political pundits

I woke up at 5 today & there's nothing better than that hour or so when it's just me and the birds outside.
Praise the Lord, for the first time in years, I am the only one awake in my house. May you all know the peace I am feeling right now and have it in your lives.

I haven't been posting about #nonfiction lately because I haven't been reading it. So here's a stack of #fiction from my local library.
I'm most of the way through Apprentice to the Villain & haven't started the others yet but I'll share my feelings as I go.
