Second for The Glass Castle.
Quick read.
Quick read.
You Don't Have To Say You Love Me by Sherman Alexie, Solito by Javier Zamora, The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls, Air Traffic by Gregory Pardlo, What You Have Heard Is True by Carolyn Forche. Not only my favorite thing to read but also writing, currently.

It feels nice to not have to scroll quickly past all the fake blue checks pooping at the top of all my comments.

The Wizard of Oz being one of the most enduring works of American fiction while also being originally written hyper-specifically as a commentary on 1890s monetary policy is a good reminder that good execution beats good ideas.

I think the best thing about this place right now - for me, at least - is the growing sense of community. And sense of humor. Two things I could desperately use right now.

It made me think of Cardinal Newman’s prayer, “Let me preach You without preaching, not by words, but by my example, by the catching force, the sympathetic influence of what I do…” (in a non-missionary Christian sort of way!)

The thing that keeps getting me about all the pieces fretting about Bluesky being too insular is that the argument seems to be that those of us who are most likely to be abused by the right (BIPOC people, trans people, queer people, etc) must put up with being abused for the sake of public discourse

"delete the mobile app from your phone and only check it on the web" ive found to be the most efficacious step for most people. breaks the most addictive aspect of its hold on people immediately.

meanwhile a couple angry emails about how I’m “obsessed” with Elon… I’m sorry that it’s newsworthy when the richest person alive keeps being a racist transphobic moron while he destroys a major social media platform, believe me I’d love to cover different topics

Update: apparently TalkBack on Android reads ampersands in alt text as "and".
Awesome.
Awesome.
I don't know for sure how screen readers parse ampersands and if they read them as "and" or as "ampersand".

Bsky in dark mode is a little rough; blinks white-to-black when I drill into and out of other posts, and just got caught in dark mode with black font.
I like a healthy amount of online anonymity, so I appreciate the mystery the black on black adds 🖤
