This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

Interesting initiative by Doon University. Also, TIL #India & #China launched a 2014 program to translate literary works between Hindi & Chinese. China finished all 25 Indian works, India just 5 before Galwan halted it. Hope they revive it to bridge the "Himalayan gap".

Can't wait for our book club's (virtual) discussion on 'I Who Have Never Known Men' tomorrow. It still hasn't left my mind since I finished it weeks ago. Happy it is becoming something of a sleeper hit now...Jacqueline Harpman is a genius and the book deserves every new reader it gains. #booksky

Writing again feels so good. But sharing it? That's still the hard part. But I remind myself not to take myself too seriously. A little reflection on the often-maligned "overthinker" and why maybe, just maybe, we should cut ourselves some slack.

Running with people definitely helps. Didn’t know my legs were capable to go at 6:30 pace for even 400m but I did it in a group, and did it four times (intervals). 18 days until my 10k race 😁
