CR: (reread) Futbolista by Jonny Garza Villa I needed something to rinse the last soccer book out of my head so I picked this one up on audio. The author does such a great job describing the mexican american culture of futbol that I see so much of myself in these characters. 💙📚👀 #booksky

I mean, I get through my entire day without it already, and everyone else who does/is made to use it would have to return to, like, 2022, so, yeah, it's fine, chuck it out

🌈 Hey Reading Rainbows! It’s time for our recommendation post for the next RAD box! Here are twenty-four books that we think also fit the August theme of Love Against the Odds. All of these books involve an unlikely pairing or unlikely circumstances where people still fall in love! 🧵

a cozy, fun story with lots of found family feels & the idea of finding your place in the world ⭐⭐⭐⭐ my only issue with this was I just wanted more, MORE of everything honestly in the story it felt too rushed in some of it and I just wanted to dive into specific parts a bit more

I swear to God, part of the problem of literacy is that we make kids read SO MANY books like this. Of course they’re going to associate reading with misery! We put them in a Skinner box and shock them when they read, what did people THINK would happen?

Having ranted about school curriculum books, I’ve just seen my son’s summer reading list, and all I can say is “I was right”. A more depressing collection would be tricky to assemble. Are we actively trying to convey to kids the idea that reading is dismal and arduous?

“Jesus. This is really weird. Sorry.” “Why?” Ilya asked. “Because we are both men?” “What?” Scott sputtered. “No! Because... you know what? Fuck you, Rozanov.” - The Long Game, Quotes Out of Context

“Maybe we could combine our names. Hollanov. Rozander.” “Roger Rozander. Terrible name.” “We’re not naming our kid Roger, you sack of shit!” - The Long Game, Quotes Out of Context

“His name,” Ilya said calmly, “is Shane.” “Not Russian, then. Too bad. What does Shane do?” Ilya somehow managed to keep himself from laughing. “He’s an athlete.” Svetlana narrowed her eyes. “Which sport?” - The Long Game, Quotes Out of Context

“It was a tie, basically,” Ilya said. “That’s not what the clock said,” Shane argued. “If we did it again right now, I would probably win.” “Well, you should have won the first time, dickhead.” - The Long Game, Quotes Out of Context

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...
