19. Lone Wolf by Adam Weymouth

About the reintroduction of wolves in Europe. Made me cry multiple times. Empathetic to all sides while not straying from the truth that we are on the verge of ecological collapse and wolves can help prevent that. I wish there had been some Native thoughts on wolves.

Me seeing this Song vs Song poll: oh my GOD that's just MEAN

A chilly, cloudy afternoon for BUMS.

There was no “why don’t you go outside and see a real DJ” tip.

No tip to find real DJ mixes and expand from there.

Just, like, look at playlists from real people and Shazam songs you like when you hear them (like, duh????? Shazaming a Chainsmokers remix of Sway in 2014 is basically why I’m here.)

Xillia Remaster decided to freeze on this lol.

18. Brighter Than Scale, Swifter Than Flame by Neon Yang

Queer modern fairy tale with a female knight, female king, and dragons. I thought it was the weakest of the modern fairy tales I read (prose not as lush, story more predictable), but still enjoyable. What’s not to like about ladies + dragons?

TALES OF XILLIA!!!!!

The cat is named Maxwell. Our other cat is named Mathis but he’s not here to celebrate right now.

Thinking about this Hannah Gadsby quote for, oh, no reason....

I don't actually care about this 6 7 trend but I got down a rabbit hole of music stuff and every comment on the originating song is hilarious. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xnyg...

Oh finally, I have something in common with Kim Kardashian.

17. The Summer War by Naomi Novik

A short, new fairytale that balances the simplicity and moral heft of the genre well. It’s engaging and relevant, familiar and barrier-breaking. Highly recommend! Get on the fantasy novella train!

Cat is getting festive.

16. Night People by Mark Ronson

Read for obvious reasons. A DJ book! Well-written! Evocative! Funny! Full of disturbingly problematic personalities! From the dude who made “Uptown Funk”! What’s not to like?

“Tomorrow is for people who go to bed by 10pm.”

15. The E-Myth by Michael Gerber

Read the OG and not Revisited because that’s what I had available at the library. Very ‘80s. I can see why most if what it says works but also I couldn’t help but think it was all comically evil.

Cat is being manic so here we are.

Welcome to our sukkah.

Decorated with holly branches on top, nasturtiums, sage, and basil on the sides, and a wooden leaf garland.

Gonna have to wait for this one, I guess.

Damn Facebook, you couldn't even pay me enough to buy Tales of Xillia remaster for stealing all my data? Cheap bastards.

Happy Sun Day.

Have had solar panels for a little less than 3 years! And an electric car for about the same amount of time. No regrets.

14. Nature’s Best Hope by Douglas Tallamy

I really liked it but that’s because I’m already convinced of its arguments against lawns and for more native plants. I learned some useful tidbits and factoids too. But overall I think it’s unlikely to sway skeptics.

The notes got increasingly psychotic imo

13. Less by Andrew Sean Greer

A reread. It was not quite as delightful as the first time I read it, but still so, so good. Funny, insightful, inclusive, heartwarming. What more could you want?

This is how I know I’m a little gremlin who doesn’t belong here. Nothing from brat was on Billboard’s Songs of the Summer 2024 list? What the hell is wrong with normies, why do they hate fun? www.npr.org/2025/08/05/g...
