A colleague brought me some old magazines from the 40s and I can’t stop reading through them, they’re so fascinating. Anyone need any asbestos?

If you ever watched ANTM, highly recommend this book. A fascinating and honest behind the scenes that will definitely spark some memories. And finally, an answer about those granola bars!

Slowing down a little on my summer reading, but this one might have been my favorite so far. I absolutely loved Woodworking by @emilystjams.bsky.social
Funny and emotional and moving, couldn’t put it down.

Welcome to St. Hell: My Trans Teen Misadventure by @lewishancox.bsky.social was another great read. Genuine, raw, sweet and hopeful. Loved the present day reflections, especially from his parents, and of course the millennial teen experience flashbacks.
