I read Frankenstein (finally!). There’s so much about the book to discuss, from queer & disability themes, to how various film & television adaptations have informed the broader cultural understanding of the text.

Looking for recommendations for any essays analyzing the different themes? #booksky

French toast for the table because Somebody Somewhere is #Emmys nominated for writing and supporting actor in a comedy series! Woohoo!!

Seriously, watch the show if you haven’t seen it (and you probably haven’t.) All three seasons streaming on HBO Max.

The writing in this book is very good. The plot and pacing kept me turning the pages. There’s not much else to say without spoiling it, so I’ll just implore you to read this novel. 🍐🍐

A year ago I wrote about hot dogs, an iconic Jennifer Coolidge line, and pulmonary hypertension for the Fourth of July 🌭🫁🫀🇺🇸

Would love for folks to give it a read. You might learn something about PH!

Happy 10th anniversary to this absolute banger of an album. I hope in the next decade we can address how truly underrated it is.

"They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it is that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made..."

The Great Gatsby at 100. Still relevant.

Our current federal public health leaders aren’t doing enough to curtail this outbreak, rather they’re likely making it worse.

About halfway through LOCA by Alejandro Heredia. I discovered this novel thanks to @debutiful.bsky.social’s list of most anticipated debuts of 2025. #booksky #weekendreading
