just finished Life After Cars and thoroughly enjoyed it. as a new (hybrid) car owner in the suburbs, reading this book is eye opening. because of how informative the book is, it allows a reader to quickly replace a selfish sense of guilt with ideas of how to improve the community. highly recommend!
this is a photo of the book titled Life After Cars, written by Sarah Goodyear and Doug Gordon, who are the hosts of the “War on Cars Podcast.” Aaron Naparstek’s name is also featured as an author. The book cover is comprised of a yellow border outline a white rectangle. The title of the book is positioned in the top middle of the white rectangle. Below the title is a sketch of a yellow traffic light which hangs from a gray pole, which itself stretched from the left side of the cover to the center. The yellow traffic light is covered in a delicate green ivy as well as small blooming flowers. The flowers are a variety of colors including yellows, pinks, and oranges.

yellow-rumped warblers making their way through upstate New York. #birds #birding #nativegarden #nativegardening #nativegardens
this is a photo of a yellow-rumped warbler. The bird is standing on the roof of a house, its body is pointed north, and its head is turned east towards the camera. The bird’s bright yellow rump is visible, as is the faint yellow color on the bird’s underbelly. The bird has a dark brown tail, dark brown wings, a brown head, and white markings below each eye.

currently reading Soil by Camille T. Dungy
The cover of Soil shows a Black woman, whose face cannot be seen, and whose arm seems to hug a mass of lush green foliage and wildflowers. The bottoms of her locs of hair can be seen. The flowers appear golden, and red, and blue, and violet. The title, "Soil," is printed in gold font on the cover towards the top. At the bottom of the cover the author’s name “Camille T. Dungy” is displayed in the same proud, bold, golden font.

sound existence
This is a screenshot of a poem titled “sound existence” i wanna be loud / i wanna be LOUD / i WANNA BE LOUD / like scream in the airport LOUD / like shout sing off key in the street LOUD / like stamp my feet and clap my hands LOUD / like shake my body in a bass drop LOUD / like slap my head till my ears ring LOUD / loud in the manic when im feeling too much energy / loud in the frantic when i can’t let go a memory / loud in the love when i trust that you’re not judging me / loud because that’s what self care means to me / loud because that’s how joy deserves to be / loud because there’s so much demand to be quiet, to sit still, to acquiesce, and comply / to behave, to chill out, to relax, calm down, just relax, relaxxxxx / nah to hell with that / i wanna be LOUD / i need be LOUD / im gonna be LOUD / and my sound will be joyous /

@reppaultonko.bsky.social stop wasting breath attempting to negotiate a bipartisan anything with fascists.

how are you still not getting it

this is not the leadership your constituents deserve in this moment

be better or resign
This is a photo of a screenshot from NY Representative Paul D. Tonko to his constituents. The text in the screenshot reads: September 27, 2025 Dear Friends, This week, as we barrel toward another devastating government shutdown caused by Republican obstruction and intransigence, we are once again witnessing the GOP’s continued willingness to hold our nation hostage to their partisan, unpopular demands. Republicans have control of the House, the Senate, and the White House — giving them the ability to pass a budget plan that prioritizes the health and wellbeing of American families. But instead of using that power to help their constituents, the GOP is refusing to negotiate a bipartisan budget solution that protects essential health care for millions of working Americans. As we approach next week’s deadline to avoid a shutdown, my Democratic colleagues and I will not stand idly by while Republicans gut health care and enable the Trump administration to abuse its power.

currently reading Automatic Noodle by @annaleen.bsky.social. this is another book that made it to my reading list initially because of the book cover.
This is the cover of the book Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz. The cover is very colorful. The top two thirds of the cover has a teal background and seems to represent the sky. The lower third is orange and seems to be a relief of the San Francisco city skyline. Towards the top of the cover is a yellow robotic hand holding a pair of chopsticks of the same color. Thick noodles are held suspended from the end of the chopsticks. The noodles are reddish orange and transition to a pinkish color and then into purple.

Just finished reading Old School Indian by @aaronjohncurtis.bsky.social. Easily one of the most thought provoking fiction novels I’ve read this year. And the cover art is incredible, too. If you have not read it yet, there’s still time.

currently reading this book by @hadasthier.bsky.social, published by @haymarketbooks.org. Only 44 pages in and I can say this book is more illuminating than any finance or economics class I took pursuing my MBA.

want to say thank you to @renee.bsky.social and @byreginamahone.bsky.social for writing this critically important work. highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone. this book is deeply informative and succeeds in addressing what abortion is—and what it isn’t—in a way that is accessible.
This is a photo of the cover of the book titled Liberating Abortion: Claiming Our History, Sharing Our Stories, And Building The Reproductive Future We Deserve. The book is positioned upright on a table. In front of the book is a white bookmark that reads “Books & Mortar Bookstore.”

This is a screenshot of a poem titled “be like the little bird in the sky”. The poem reads: though a mighty hunter / with fearsome beak and talons honed / and great wings cast wide to keep aloft / a hawk is granted neither peace nor pride / its sobriquet as terror of the sky is compromised / by a little bird, perhaps a fifth its size / be like the little bird in the sky

This is a poem titled “Birds.” The poem reads: give me a window to observe the birds where i can hear their songs and shrieks alike —because not all birds sing sweet trilling songs at least not to my untrained, human ears and yes, i am looking at you, blue jay and you also mr eastern phoebe because some of you sound like laser beams especially the slate colored juncos who sound like they are in a space battle— but sit me before a window alone with my uncultured ears, such as they are where i can see and hear the birds alike and in that space i will be happiest

This is a screenshot of a portion of Martin Luther King’s speech titled “I Have A Dream”. The portion of the text reads: Now the other thing we'll have to do is this: Always anchor our external direct action with the power of economic withdrawal. Now, we are poor people. Individually, we are poor when you compare us with white society in America. We are poor. Never stop and forget that collectively -- that means all of us together -- collectively we are richer than all the nations in the world, with the exception of nine. Did you ever think about that? After you leave the United States, Soviet Russia, Great Britain, West Germany, France, and I could name the others, the American Negro collectively is richer than most nations of the world. We have an annual income of more than thirty billion dollars a year, which is more than all of the exports of the United States, and more than the national budget of Canada. Did you know that? That's power right there, if we know how to pool it. We don't have to argue with anybody. We don't have to curse and go around acting bad with our words. We don't need any bricks and bottles. We don't need any Molotov cocktails. We just need to go around to these stores, and to these massive industries in our country, and say, "God sent us by here, to say to you that you're not treating his children right. And we've come by here to ask you to make the first item on your agenda fair treatment, where God's children are concerned. Now, if you are not prepared to do that, we do have an agenda that we must follow. And our agenda calls for withdrawing economic support from you."
