If you want to ruin your day, might I recommend Abandon Me by Melissa Febos? An incredible memoir showing how the fear of being abandoned — by a parent, by a lover — can lead us to abandon ourselves. #booksky #books #reading #memoir

Baby's first day trying audiobooks!

Tbh was disappointed by On Tyranny. I found it too surface level (I'm prob not the target), and some of the arguments were lacking (See below).

Between The World and Me, however, is incredible. Wonderful prose and insight. Great listen.

Vantage Points by Chase Joynt. A surprising read on transmasculine identity and how it relates to childhood sexual abuse. Another perspective (or vantage point?) to add to my own quest to understand what role trauma plays in developing queer identities. #books #booksky #reading #lgbtq #trans #queer

This pandemic meme still applies.
A photo shows people dancing. One is labelled "Supply chain shortages"; others bear the names "Another Variant," "The Collapse of Civilization," "Satanic Rituals" and "The Metaverse." At the center is a young woman dancing rather blissfully. She is labelled, "Me, just trying to write my little stories."

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

Incredible words.

My god Toni Morrison's sentences are the most beautiful instruments for ripping my heart out.

#booksky #reading #books #fiction #bookrecommendation
Cover of The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison Quote from The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison: " in equating physical Beauty with a virtue, she stripped her mind, bound it, and collected self-contempt by the heap. She forgot, lost and simple caring for. She regarded love as possessive, mating, and romance as the goal of the spirit. It would be for her a wellspring from which she would draw the most destructive emotions, deceiving the lover and seeking to imprison the beloved, curtailing freedom in every way."

Did not expect to find such pertinent wisdom and feeling in a book of poetry about dogs. Dog Songs by Mary Oliver

#poetry #booksky #bookrecommendation #reading #dogs
Cover of Dog Songs by Mary Oliver with a Pomeranian in the background Quote from Dog Songs by Mary Oliver "Tell me you love me," he says. "Tell me again." Could there be a sweeter arrangement? Over and over he gets to ask. I get to tell. Dog Songs by Mary Oliver Emerson, I am trying to live, as you said we must, the examined life. But there are days. I wish there was less in my head to examine, not to speak of the busy heart.
