Picked back up a book I couldn’t get through two years ago, and now am obsessed! So glad I came back to it.

I love that Nashville has decided to rename its airport after Dolly Parton! Now, anyone want to guess how many major airports in the US are named for women? In the world?

For those in the mood for a good cry, Hannah Lillith Assadi’s beautiful novel Paradiso 17, based on the life and passing of her own Palestinian refugee father, would not be amiss.

This is really important. Please read attached article and take note. #bookbanning is real, and it is incredibly dangerous for the present and the future of America.

Ditto for Switzerland. 35°c (95°f) in Geneva yet again. Pleasant as it would be, AC is not what we need. To save the freaking planet is what we need. @mmschwartz.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/o...

The thing about the Booker longlist that’s amazing to me is my Insta feed has been FULL of bookstagrammers’ predictions for the last few weeks, and they were nearly all entirely or nearly entirely wrong, except about John of John.

Friends in the UK - Is “South West London” the usual written usage? (Or “Southwest London”? Or, even when written in dialogue, would it be “SW London”?)

You know that “Future Library” project in Oslo? Every year an author (and they have been wonderful authors) hands over an unpublished ms to be put in a sealed vault until 2114? It’s super cool and all, but anyone else find it also low-key depressing?

Only something like 5% of homes in Switzerland have air con. Indeed, in most buildings in Geneva, ac is either illegal to install or heavily restricted

High of 34° (93.2°) today here in Geneva, Switzerland. That’s one degree lower than yesterday so I guess we should all be feeling refreshed, right

The windows of downtown Geneva and much of the adjacent Old Town are nearly entirely boarded up in anticipation of the G7 summit in nearby Évian-les-Bains.

Like many other Americans living abroad, I’ll share a Thanksgiving dinner with friends on Saturday evening. But I don’t need to wait to think for what I can be thankful. It’s never too early or too late to think about for what one can be thankful.

Hope my fellow Americans enjoyed Thanksgiving. Speeches like this give me hope that at least we won’t next see this utter tool sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office. 🦃 >> gobble gobble youtu.be/B8GCE9EDe1A?...
