When someone starts a book recommendation thread, it's very tiring to read page after page of recommendations of well-known authors and titles that everyone who is participating already knows about.

What's your totally ordinary opinion about books that you nonetheless find compelled to share when asked on a social media site such as this one for your most extreme/unhinged/hottest takes?

I'll go first: manga is popular among young people because manga often features young people.

It is so much better for my heart when the Mariners score 3 runs in the top of the 1st.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I'm way less tense when my team is up by a couple of runs than when my team is down a run, or (&^YO*H&GHBLY(&Y tied.

Philip Weiss (Phil in SF) @kingrat.us · 3d

I absolutely will

The first step in the downfall of the web was when web page designers stopped making visited links purple and unvisited links blue.
