Recently, I've been seeing a lot of discourse about peoples' reading choices.
Pressure to read certain things or read quickly, criticism of both engaging and not engaging critically with what you read, and do our reading choices really matter at all? What is the point of this hobby of ours? 🧵 1/5

Was lisening to some old Dessa yesterday & this hook seemed exceptionally pertinent:
"I found your pale-faced blue-lipped God beneath the kitchen table. Starving and eating paper. He showed me what you wrote and what you'd asked. Love, nothing can live on prayers like that."

Taking a break from doomscrolling for a few days has really helped my mental health.
Finding the balance between staying informed & keeping myself sane has been,& will still remain, a challenge, but moments like this help infinitely:

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Amidst all the other horrors surrounding us right now, my purse chapstick has disappeared.
So now I've had to move my bedside chapstick to my purse and I'm bereft at night.
The world is now nothing but disarray and chaos.

WorldCon haul & the only two selfies I grabbed 😭
It was a wonderful, exhausting whirlwind.
Book-wise, found some absolute gems.
People-wise, Seattle was a heartwarming reminder of why the book community is amazing.
More on that soon as I do have some group photos to post 👀

Not me putting everything but the coffee grounds themselves into my percolator and then standing there 🧍♀️for like 15 seconds trying to figure out what looked wrong 🫠

Having a bank manager outright refuse to accept my husband's I-551 stamp while we wait for his physical green card to arrive because "it's written not printed" is the most rage I've felt in a long time.
What's the point of spending all the time, stress, & money if you’re going to be denied anyway?

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.
I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.
