August has already been a stellar reading month so far. Here are some faves:
'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)
a prayer so deeply devout that he seemed kneeling and praying at the bottom of the sea
i don't like to police genre, but it's not dark academia unless somebody gets squished in one of these bad boys

It's impossible to miss how AI has fucked up every digital interaction, and the awful, bile-inducing "art" is everywhere, but until my son started pointing it out, I had not realized how much AI-generated music there is being played in public
The only problem with having a cat is that she sleeps right next to my head and slightly suffocates me. 😅 my mom woke me up because I was having trouble breathing.
‘Families huddle like villages under siege. But the savagery that stalks and besieges us - is life’ A very fine book. Eva Baltasar is a great writer … #BookSky💙📚
Been on psych meds long enough that I shake em in the dark to know what I’m takin by the sound they make. They’re different notes bro. Here, I’ll play you a song
I can't imagine a single person alive is shocked to hear that Eli Roth continues to be a huge piece of shit.

Imagine if everyone around you could afford groceries. What if everyone around you had healthcare? How would it feel to live in a world where everyone had a safe place to live?
And lest anyone is still struggling to distinguish a “war” from a “genocide”, this should help.
Imagine living in a world that prioritized the safety of all children.
When we were on food stamps for a bit during my childhood, my mom was both working and going back to college to get her master's degree, so please know that if you ever imply that people on food stamps are lazy to my face, I will make sure you regret it for the rest of your miserable life.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayRollins: "For those who love work and celebrate work and want people to work and not be on food stamps, it's a pretty big win when we've moved 5 million people off food stamps, y'all."

When you get two cats, how do they decide which one will have a tiny chirp like a pixie’s doorbell and which one will wail like the ghost of a jilted bride?

BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · yesterdayalright let's do real discourse: five books *by bad people* that are still good or great books V.S.

I think there's a case to be made that we should care whether people in power are, in fact, total jerks. In today's video, I muse about exactly that: why isn't empathy treated as a prerequisite to shape public opinion or policy? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
I'd like to be alive when children don't fear this! An estimated 1.5 to 4.2 million children & youth experience homelessness in America each year. Researchers estimate that roughly 1.3 million infants, toddlers, and preschoolers—about 1 in 18 children under age six—experience homelessness annually.
We've survived the entirety of human history without data centres. We can't survive more than a few days without clean drinking water.
I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"
have to remember this is my default reading mode when recommending books to other people
