My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

It’s wild that I have read 90 books so far in 2025 but only read 5 books on all of the books nominated for the Goodreads choice awards. What does that say about me?! What does it say about Goodreads?

In lieu of a Humans poetry post this week, I wanted to share about how SNAP being defunded is impacting where I live.

What are we all reading this week? I'm deep into Ivo Graham's "Yardstick for Failure." It's delightful—heartfelt, smart, and funny. If you're a fan of Taskmaster and/or British comedy, I highly recommend. #amreading #readersofbluesky #taskmaster #Ivograham #bookreview #bookreviewofbluesky #reading

I woke up naturally at 7 am and felt really good and smug about it, like maybe I’m becoming a morning person? Then I got online and saw it was daylight savings. I had no idea 😂

Here is a thing I agree with boomers on: why the hell do commercials have to be so much louder than the show I am watching?! It makes me want to commit a crime.
