Here is my Izzy. Izzies unite against fascism.

With poetry and the fine stitching of words, Yasmina Khadra (pen name of Mohammed Moulessehoul) portrays the reality of life under the Taliban. Using just a few characters, he gives us an intimate look at lost hope and devastation. #theswallowsofkabul

It was a special day when we found this series of decorative plates created by David Lynch. It's too hard to see but each one has a caption and together they tell a story. A moody one of course. May his memory be a blessing. #davidlynch

My first read of 2025. @legroff.bsky.social has set the bar high. A propulsive read that forced me to slow down to savor the beautiful sentences. As one girl seeks to survive we confront the difference between conquering the land and living within its rules.

Last book of 2024. A fitting examination of time, belonging, leaving and returning, cycles, and asking questions about what is so important about human beings anyway.

I went to the bookstore and said I would read whatever the bookseller recommended without reading the blurb. This was a brilliant choice. I Amy try this strategy more often.

So nice to have a dog that loves books as much as I do.

Now you see him, now you don't.
