ok giving in and buying a Kindle... Do I buy regular or paperwhite? Someone give me advice plz!!

@likaluca @DrewBJameson I have not read this! Adding it to my queue...

@DrewBJameson @likaluca Great list. Beloved truly blew my mind when I read it. And Anna K was also a transformative reading experience. Maybe I'll revisit those other two! (Which I read in high school)

@ASKusmer @likaluca Beloved, Their Eyes We’re Watching God, Wuthering Heights, a good translation of Anna Karenina, Huck Finn

My favorite thing about NYC is how many people completely ignore stuff like this.

Listen to the man!

@abdallah_fayyad This is cool!

Brian was an absolute jewel of the Boston radio world. So so sad to hear about this 💔

@megansarahj JP in a nutshell!

Tell me how many packs of smoked salmon you bought for your break fast and I will tell you your socio-economic status

Mushrooms really are that girl

I just got served an ad for conceal carry holsters. I think it's fair to say that social media is failing to understand my hobbies and interests.

Out: self care In: caring for each other 💖

@AaronHM I once heard someone talk about conspiracy theories as a social-psychological response to inconceivable grief. and it made things make a lot more sense to me. Also makes me think it will become a bigger part of climate discourse in the coming years.
