I haven't been on Bluesky because I've become a lot more active in local politics and would rather put my time towards volunteering, and keeping up with 4 different book clubs than doom scrolling.

Just as in Medieval times when church goers went to church because they had heat during cold winters. I am in the library because I don't have air-conditioning. #booksky

I know it's tedious but: take a book and set the spine on a desk vertically. Fold down the first page from your book down and then the last page down. Then repeat this folding until you get to the middle. This prevents the spine from breaking and makes the book easier to read from. #booksky

I thought I was being smart by reading War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy with my eBook version and real book version so that I can look up words I didn't know on the fly via eBook, but they're two totally different translations. 😭 #booksky #literature

Audaciously perhaps, I read my book for my book club the day before we meet. It only took me 4 hours... I was correct in leaving it until the last minute. #booksky

Libraries don't keep track of what people read because the FBI got nosy after 9/11. Then Goodreads got people to keep track online and Amazon bought the site. 👀

Whenever I go into a store or library and I see a book I already own, I feel guilty for looking at other books. I react as if my book collection is my wife and I'm getting caught looking at other women. #booksky

There's a difference between what you want to read and what you think other people wants you to read and it is imperative that you do not mix up which is which. #booksky

"Are the cats getting along?" Well...
Two cats. One black cat on the top cushions getting the tail end of a long piece of green material that is being used as a cat toy. A mostly black cat with orange hair throughout her fur looks up from the lower cushion at the black cat. The cat on the lower cushion of the couch leaps at the black cat for the piece of green material used as a cat toy and the black cat has her eyes clothes trying to punch the little twerp.

Artificial intelligence is a misnomer. It can't create or think for itself, it's just a fancy generator that pulls from the creativity and thoughts that human beings have already created. I think it should be called something else like... Thieving Intelligent Thoughts. T.I.T.

Don't let AI steal any of your abilities. Spell checking and looking for grammar errors on your own? That's a skill. Taking notes on a video? That's a skill. Sifting through and skimming articles, looking for what you need? That's a skill. When you get dependent, they get your money forever.

Local politics is laughably harder to learn than national politics. I went to a PowerPoint presentation on how mine works and I think I'd have to go through 2 semesters worth of classes to actually get it and I'd probably barely make it through those classes.

If money didn't exist there would still be people trying to ruin the environment and force people into slavery. Money is just a nice little excuse to do it. Power and psychopaths still exists without money. People who blame capitalism need to read more about cults who want to bring Jesus back. 😏
