So, politicians want the ultra wealthy to pay less taxes so they can spend more money on buying their souls?

Mixing collagen into my coffee every morning realizing I am mixing potions made from the pulverized bones of animals in the name of longevity - my hair and nails growing at breakneck speed.
Witchy.

The City in Glass by Nghi Vo
A love story to a city that spans centuries through the eyes of an unaging - but not unchanging - demon. A perspective through time and immortality.
Loved it!

Just finished The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo. Their writing is like a song peppered with jaw dropping analogies. As a magical realist retelling of a classic story, I was amazed at how dreadfully relevant the political clime in it is to ours today.
I also adore Vo's Singing Hills Cycle.

Cover of The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo. Stylized leaves surround a beautiful girl with black bobbed hair and dangly earrings. Quote on cover reads "Luxurious, thrilling, and sexy." - Adrienne Celt.

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."
- The Lorax

The Lorax book was banned in 1989 - full deets in image alt.

"Unless someone like yoy cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not" - The Lorax

Dr. Seuss’ environmental kid’s book was banned in 1989 in a California school because it was believed to portray logging in a poor light and would turn children against the foresting industry. Members of the logging community were so upset by Dr. Seuss’ book that they sponsored the publication of a book called The Truax in an attempt to show children the need for foresting. The Lorax has also been criticized for its excessive portrayal of consumerism. The Once-ler represents a greedy America who wants the latest and greatest items, regardless of the consequences.

It was so warming to be able to share this poem at the weekend's past Winter Gathering.
I heard it from my girl @theferocity.bsky.social on Vibe Check and was like "oooh I am saving that for Winter Gathering jic" and guess what, it came up.
Read it out loud to yourself or friends for full effect.
