Hey @freep.com, this isn’t a “politically divided household,” it’s two Republicans but one of them is voting strategically based on racism.

Is there anything more satisfying than getting a crossword clue because of a book you read in elementary school? You get it right and you get to reminisce. Thanks, @danielpinkwater.bsky.social, for having Uncle Borgel teach me what an eft is.

I used to read @kaaauthor.bsky.social’s The One and Only Ivan to my 4th graders every year when I was a teacher. I just read The One and Only Ruby, and y’all, I’d have SOBBED in front of 27 ten year olds if this had been written back then.

It is 11:30pm, everyone is in bed, and the silence is broken by my seven year old loudly singing “who let the dogs out” from down the hall

If somebody ever invented the Eternal Sunshine memory machine, I would use it exclusively to read books again for the first time

Ok I get the benefits of the nuclear block and the general blocking culture, but damn if it isn’t disappointing to get to the top of a vague but obviously drama filled thread and think you’re about to understand it only to see that the initial post is blocked

When I was a kid, I could hear the TV turned on with nothing playing from upstairs and across the house, and it would keep me awake. Losing that has been one sort of nice side effect of aging.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

@fondalee.bsky.social’s The Last Contract of Isako is simultaneously an enormously rewarding stand alone novel, and also immediately at the top of the list of books I’d love to get a sequel, or another story set in that world. Every bit of it built to a well earned, satisfying end. Go read it!

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for twenty minutes this morning. He said, in a weak but firm voice, “I saw this movie about a bus that had to speed around a city, keeping its speed over fifty, and if its speed dropped, it would explode! I think it was called, ‘The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down.'”

Look, I get that we should all be informed and democracy is participatory, but in any decent timeline, I should not know so many federal judges by name

Just finished reading @zachweinersmith.bsky.social’s Sawyer Lee and the Quest to Just Stay Home to my kids. Best read aloud ever, my kids even picked more chapters over YouTube. If someone kidnapped YouTube and their mother, they might pay the YouTube ransom first. That’s how good the book is.

Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun
