2026 Book Review #3: Fake Work by Leigh Claire La Berge
This felt more like a work memoir about what prompted the author to start thinking about the meaning of work and theory without getting into the substance of either. The characters and unique Y2K period are partially redemptive. #BookSky

2026 Book #2: The Paris Trilogy by Colombe Schneck
This reminded me a lot of Rachel Cusk’s Outline trilogy with a more present, intimate narrator. I admire how poignant this novel can be about the intersection friendship, life, and class. Really manages to tell the story of a life in fragments.

2026 Book #1: Discontent by Beatriz Serrano
Loved this one. Compelling and humorous approach to alienation in work, love, and friendship. A narrator always willing to go to new lows to keep up the facade of a bullshit job. Keeps you guessing if you can ever know someone and what it means to.

This @apnews.com reads like sponsored content from the Southern Baptist Convention. You’re telling me there’s no indication how these influencers align politically or how their beliefs impact people?

The Biden administration efficacy is best symbolized by them running out the clock trying to appease hysteric conservatives over NJ drones instead of literally anything else in the final month

It's so funny that a candidate for ATL City Council, in an active runoff, can't even fill out 5 values on their own website. From www.collins4atlanta.com:
