Do not obey in advance.

Do not stop singing. Do not stop dancing. Do not stop sharing that feeling of being fully alive in ecstatic community.

What a soul-sustaining pleasure to have experienced the first stop on the Spring Fling tour by @pinkmartiniband.bsky.social !

Hang on, little tomatoes. 🍅

In the words of wizard Alan Moore,

"Magic in its earliest form is often referred to as 'the art.' I believe this is completely literal. ...I believe that this is why an artist or writer is the closest thing... that you are likely to see to a Shaman."

Same!
Whenever I read a book with multiple POVs, I inevitably connect more with one character than the others. In this case it's Arthur.
Such a brilliant read!

Oi, everyone say "Thank you uncle Dave and auntie Deirdre Neanderthal".

Interbreeding with Neanderthals helped homo sapiens survive after they went extinct multiple times as Neanderthal DNA had some advantages.

Humans may not have survived without Neanderthals
A new DNA analysis has shown that the arrival of modern humans from Africa was far from smooth.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

Signed, a librarian.
