Top 8 for the year! I know I'm missing some great ones, but these are what came to mind. Here's hoping 2025 will be an equally incredible reading year!

Fable app "shelfie" with two shelves of books and various knick knacks. On the top shelf is I Was A Teenage Slasher, a hockey mask, Outdrawn, The God of the Woods, Bury Your Gays and a lamp. On the second shelf is a globe, Ninth House, An American Marriage, Severance, a clock, and The City We Became. Above the shelves reads "Macabre Manifesto". The description below reads "Slashet pollots and urban evils? Your taste is a love letter to dysfunction. But flaunt it- you thrive on confronting darkness with unflinching audacity. The background is a starry sky with clouds.

With alt-text, because yes
azspot Follow "Rich kids should go to public schools. The mayor should ride the subway to work. When wealthy people get sick, they should be sent to public hospitals. Business executives should have to stand in the same airport security lines as everyone else. The very fact that people want to buy their way out of all of these experiences points to the reason why they shouldn't be able to. Private schools and private limos and private doctors and private security are all pressure release valves that eliminate the friction that would cause powerful people to call for all of these bad things to get better. The degree to which we allow the rich to insulate themselves from the unpleasant reality that others are forced to experience is directly related to how long that reality is allowed to stay unpleasant. When they are left with no other option, rich people will force improvement in public systems. Their public spirit will be infinitely less urgent when they are contemplating these things from afar than when they are sitting in a hot ER waiting room for six hours themselves." — Everyone Into The Grinder

No one deserves to be murdered at the hands of the state. 5.5% of ALL capital convictions handed down in the past 50 years have been overturned. How many others should have been?

If a punishment cannot be applied fairly and absolutely without error, it MUST NOT be applied at all.

remember, folks, posting is not that serious. it really isn't. it's not activism

exclusively posting about things that upset you will slowly surround you with undiluted negativity that'll make you miserable regardless of how ethical your social media is. be silly with friends, make art, have fun

Should I reorganize and make a physical TBR shelf? ATM I've got fiction vs non-fiction, then by genre, then alphabetical by author. It would still be the same, just with a separate TBR shelf. (Though my nf will stay as is, just to a different shelf)
How do you organize your shelves?

Deep Space 9 scene. The Sisko, Bashir, and Odo are in the kitchen and shoulder to shoulder. Sisko is wearing some of that classic colorful DS9 loungwear and cooking over a stove. He's holding out a spatula for Bashir to take a look or do a taste test. (Side note, I always wonder, does it go back in the pot? Do they use 20 new spoons doing taste tests?) Anyways, Basir looks nervous at whatever it is he's seeing. Odo, like a little brother wanting to be included in the party, stands just behind the two looking over Bashir's shoulder with great curiosity. Closed caption reads, "Beets are a very misunderstood vegetable."

In the past day I’ve heard two people who really should know better say they asked ChatGPT for factual info.

ChatGPT is not a search engine. It is predictive text based on other people’s stolen writing; its whole job is to make stuff up. Please do not ask it for facts. Tell a friend.

Do me a favor and support this campaign with a donation however small. Think of people behind bars and think what it would mean to you, if that was you, to have access to books. Thanks.
