For new followers (and old ones). As I say in my bio, I am an avid reader. I read a lot, books, articles, so on, and I often share what I read for various reasons. Also snark and crack jokes

Communities need used-book shops.
As the trends in our world are increasingly standardized and entrenched by "predictive" technologies that stifle innovation and reduce human actions into economic categories...
We need a full range of possibilities for readers and communities to explore and share.

When an introvert goes cold, it usually means it is over. They are warm, patient people who forgive easily, but they still have limits. When they reach them, they do not argue or create drama. They pull away with no goodbye or explanation. Their distance shows they have given enough chances

If you spend your money, you're irresponsible and deserve to be poor.
If you don't spend your money, you're a threat to "the economy" and deserve to be poor.

Nanay has been selling vegetables at her shop for the past three years. When Typhoon Uwan struck earlier this month, her business was suddenly disrupted. WCK is working with Nanay by purchasing her produce—ensuring money stays in the community and families have meals. #ChefsForPhilippines

My Coffee & Cards ☕️🃏 TOTD this morning is the
9 of Cups.
True happiness isn’t found in things. Its foundation is much simpler.
Could indicate good things coming. Consider if you’re taking time to enjoy the simple pleasures or if you’re over-complicating things.

Thank you for liking/sharing my posts and for the wisdom and humanity you share here every day.
The Nine of Water (Cups) reminds us that abundance flows from gratitude. The affirmation for this card is:
"I bathe in the feeling of contentment that rises up from within."

Strong urge to pull a card from these 3 decks.... The Universe has a msg. Definitely one about being proactive and trusting the process. Keep moving forward. #tarotsky #witchsky
Looking forward to the weekend. Several projects in beginning phase, and this has motivated me even more.

Homelessness is soul-crushing enough.
We don’t need anyone outside of the poverty class to help.

Thanksgiving exists because white people are collectively too emotionally immature and stunted to sit with the reality the Pilgrims were religious zealots who murdered Indigenous people.
