Publishers really into the idea of AI books don't seem to understand why people read books. I am currently reading a book with a similar premise to one of my favorite books because I am specifically interested in knowing how THIS author with their singular perspective will write this set up. [1/2]

Reading stories by Sudanese authors is especially important during the country's ongoing humanitarian crisis. These collection of stories written by Sudanese authors, is a chance to listen, learn and discover Sudan through the eyes of those who know her best. #Sudan #booksky

I've been listening to some audio renditions of classic Victorian horror stories and, while I do not know anything else about this person, I appreciate M. R. James' refusal to give side characters any more thought than strictly necessary for this #ghoststory

Black text against a white background. "It was, as you might suppose, a person or antiquarian pursuits who said this, but, since he merely appears in this prologue, there is no need to give his entitlements."

Went to a nighttime café so that I would write instead of giving into the temptation to go to bed early. Am currently half-dozing on a Victorian couch in front of a laptop while an acoustic cover of WAP plays softly over the speakers.

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

Friends and neighbors like Ms. Rachel do everything in their power to protect children of the world at all costs 🌎 She is my hero, the library kids are my heroes. Be like Ms. Rachel, be kind. Raise your library voice for the children 💜

A smiling Ms. Rachel and Mychal take a photo together. Post on their photo from Mychal reads: “Friends & neighbors like Ms. Rachel do everything in their power to protect children of the world at all costs.
What she does takes exceptional courage. She is not fearless, rather her care & empathy tower over fear. She stands up to fear so she can take a stand for children, for people, for humanity.
She does not see herself as a hero, the children are the heroes.
But she is my hero, the library kids are my heroes.
Be like Ms. Rachel, be kind. Raise your library voice for the children 💜”

So much propaganda is being spread by ICE. They also don’t mention that the 26-year-old man they shot had legal authorization to work in the United States and was not the target of the ICE operation.

Also let me recommend historian Annette Gordon Reed’s “On Juneteenth” for your summer reading list. I felt vindicated reading that Reed, a Texan, always saw Juneteenth as a Texas celebration. Her dive into the complicated history of Texas, slavery, integration & this holiday is riveting.

Haya Ka'aneb's Women of Palestine and Spring Morning. Two very beautiful paintings that captured my attention today.

A painting of four women sitting together against a halved yellow and grey backdrop. Each of them has long, loose black hair and dark eyes. They have pleasant expressions. All of them are wearing colorful dresses (orange, teal, blue, grape purple) patterned with flowers and, in the case of the orange dress, stripes. Crows sit on their shoulders.

A painting of two girls standing together in a field of flowers. The sky is abstracted and vibrant with greens, blues, and purples. One of the girl's arms are wrapped around the other. The second girl raises one hand toward her hair and carries a fruit in the other. Their long, loose hair blows in separate directions. Two birds stand, one on each side.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that if I buy a book rather than check it out at the library, it will have at least one coffee stain by the end of the week.

A screenshot from QUEERING THE MAP. The white blurb near Ein Arik reads:
"You held my hand, cooked me fresh pasta and kissed my neck. We discussed languages, religion, politics, culture, history and music. You understood the world, you understood me. In case I wasn't clear in expressing how appreciative I was - I wanted you to know that you were the healthiest relationship I've ever been in. You gave me hope for what queer Palestine could look like. I hate that Israeli checkpoints made us live in different cities and drift apart. I wish you all the good in the world, you deserve it."
