Quite excited for the new pope here. Twitter also records its busiest day in years, after everyone scoots over to see Pope Leo’s criticism of jdv.

My TBR pile judging me when I see a book recommendation, immediately borrow and start reading it, abandoning the four other books I’m currently reading and the sixteen books I’ve started this year.

“I was sick” and you worked to gut medicaid, depriving me of healthcare.

I’m just saying that audiobooks are brilliant. You can listen while doing almost anything. House cleaning? Audiobook. Exercising? Audiobook? Sleeping? Old favourite audiobook. Driving, travelling, waiting? Audiobook. Best thing ever.

It’s a Schrödinger problem. The cat wants you to get up but prevents you from getting up. Because you cannot move when the cat is on you.

The worst part about growing up is how sitting peacefully reading a new book went from “well behaved, quiet child“ to “rude and antisocial” adult.

At the age of 3, I learned to read and my parents never grumbled whenever I asked them to buy books for me. Today, I have a personal library running into the thousands.
It says a lot about our society that owning dozens of sneakers/shoes is considered cool but amassing books has to be defended. 😦
