I switched to Fable to track my reading. I'll have to hustle, but my 100 book goal for 2025 is within reach.

If my list of books I'd like to read wasn't 1500+, I'd love to take more recommendations.

HHS killed the Let's Get Real vaccine promotion campaign within the last week.

Are we great, yet?

Every paragraph of @bindingchaos.bsky.social by @heathermarsh.bsky.social is remarkable. This one stands out. "We do not have human dignity in a system where our basic needs treated not as a right but as a privilege which we must earn...and which a higher parental authority can remove from us."

Starting my reading year with Calling Bullshit, the Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World by @carlbergstrom.com & @jevinwest.bsky.social, & Health Communism as a "carry with me to read" book by @reallandsend.bsky.social & @avierkant.bsky.social.

36 books for 2024. On to 50 in 2025!
Smart Brevity had the most practical use for me.
All memoirs/autobiographies I read were great - first among equals was Legacy by @ucheblackstockmd.bsky.social.
Best historical book: Churchill Girls.
Support libraries. Read banned books. Engage with authors.

Considering the source for this (clipped from an email message), these words ring so hollow. IYKYK

📚 Supercommunicators by Charles Duhigg was a little bit too pop-psychy for my tastes, but it outlined how to improve interpersonal communication with tried and true listening techniques - packaged in a logical way with plenty of solid anecdotal asides.

Excited to close out my free reading this year with these two books from @buffalolibrary.bsky.social and Libby.

So pleased to find bluesky's custom feeds feature, with feeds like Mutuals (account relationship-based) and dozens more topic-based feeds. Some even allow you to contribute with a specific hashtag. #bluesky

There has to be another way of describing Pantone's color of 2025 than "Capturing a Global Mood of Connection, Comfort, and Harmony." On which planet is that mood happening?

I felt this all year.

Lots of other ways to get Narcan to keep as first aid, too. ⬇️
