📖 Day 4 of #50Days50Books:

📖 Day 3 of #50Days50Books: The Breakthrough by Daphne du Maurier.

A chilling story about science, ethics & the soul. In a lonely coastal lab, a team tries to capture human consciousness at the moment of death.
Quietly haunting.

📖 Day2 #50Days50Books

Television was a Baby Crawling Toward that Deathchamber – Allen Ginsberg
certainly out of my comfort zone

Poetic chaos, media critique, and prophetic rage in motion...

➤ “Follow your inner moonlight; don’t hide the madness.”

📖 Day 1 #50Days50Books:

Letter from Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King Jr.
Written from a jail cell in 1963, this is a brilliant call for justice, civil disobedience & moral clarity.

➤ “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
