If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

It is remarkable that there are still people who believe that the reason hundreds of thousands of people have nowhere to live is that we haven’t made having nowhere to live unpleasant enough.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Denying these rights is violence.
Denying healthcare is violence. Eviction is violence. Polluting our air, food & water is violence.

Every time I read something by Ta-Nehisi Coates, I am struck by the skill and beauty of his writing. If you’ve been sleeping on it, I recommend his latest. The Message is timely, challenging, and beautiful. 💙📚

A repeat thought, Bluesky, & a Librarian told you this so it must be true 🤣
Audiobooks definitely count as reading (as well as listening). If you've played through an audioook, its perfectly fine to describe that as "I have read [x]"
All other forms of assistive software count as reading too 💙📚

Bluesky feels more like old Twitter than X does
