#BookSky,
I would like to nominate the following YA novel for a second act/resurgence.

Feed by M.T. Anderson (2002)

I read this just out of my teens.
I think of it & revisit it often.

Themes: consumerism, data mining, corporate greed, environmental decline

Some things suck.
Sunrises don’t.
Happy Friday.

Absolute bullshit.
Should’ve been Raleigh and we all know it.
The “V” stands for Valuable.

Yes.
It still requires people to suffer.
And many of those that will suffer are children.
I vehemently disagree with the administration’s supporters.

But I don’t want ANYONE to go hungry. I don’t want ANYONE to suffer.
The problem with the “wait till Trump voters start suffering” theory of political change is that it requires people to suffer.

Saw that it’s #blackcatday

This is BatCat.
She is not my cat.

(But she still needs to be fed & finally enjoys lovings & we heard that people just drop unwanted pets out here 😭…
so she’s now my stray/porch/outside cat)

After I finish a book, I give my husband a book report. I read, he doesn’t but loves me and enjoys the stories ☺️

book report on
A Drop of Corruption by @robertjbennett.bsky.social.

Excellent book. Highly recommend!

Visited Mount St. Helens and Coldwater Lake this morning. The volcano is hazy in the distance because it’s smoking, not from wildfires 😳
Coldwater Lake is a barrier lake created by the 1980 eruption.

Shoutout to @nnedi.bsky.social for writing beautiful books and using the word “undulating” in a way that doesn’t make me want to throw up or throw a book across the room.

Death of the Author is brilliant.

“When people said, ‘I don’t feel safe,’ even if they were being stoked by misinformation, the response shouldn’t have been the numbers…it should have been listening, & then proposing what we can do more to make you feel safer in your community.”

So proud he’s the Governor that made me a KY Colonel.
