The most annoying thing I’ve found about coming out of a 4-year content creator retirement is that most of my favorite tools VANISHED into the ether. If you had to start from the ground up as a video creator or podcaster, what would you use?

They are SHREDDING the physical, SATURATING the digital, and leaving the literary achievements of real people across centuries in the LITERAL TRASH BIN. And YET I continue to write.

So in the span of one day, I see that: A. Rare books are being scanned and shredded to feed generative AI data models thanks to a legal loophole. B. 53% of books published on Amazon were AI-generated. C. The number of AI-generated books on Amazon grew 23% since 2023. And yet I continue to write.

“[R]acism may wear a new dress, buy a new pair of boots, but neither it nor its succubus twin fascism is new or can make anything new. It can only reproduce the environment that supports its own health: fear, denial, and an atmosphere in which its victims have lost the will to fight.” —Toni Morrison

Picked up my copy yesterday. Now more than ever we need manuals on how to move forward. Can’t wait to read it!

One of the best parts of writing a book is getting to discuss it in public conversations & share ideas with the audience. Hope you’ll read Giving Up Is No Excuse:A Manual For Keeping A Democracy. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/801635...

We’re living in a time of radically drastic change and disruption, but it is not entirely without precedent. Looking back to the lessons of history and literature, here are a few philosophers, historians, and activists whose books define the current moment we are living in: tinyurl.com/5n7kkhyb

I feel the same way about James Loewen’s “Lies My Teacher Told Me.” You definitely should read that after this, if you haven’t already.

Is that a lampshade of the DC metro system? If so, I kinda want one 😂

Wise additions! I’ve read and reread Snyder’s work on multiple occasions.

I LOVED this book when I read it in college! My one regret is that I didn't annotate my copy 😭

I might have to read this in the future.

Never a bad time to read Tim Snyder. I keep a copy of "On Tyranny" in my jacket pocket and another in my laptop bag.

"Sonnets for a Missing Key" has been a delightful read so far. Been taking my time with it.

Describe yourself using 5 things that are probably in your backpack/purse at any given moment: 1. A book (often 2+, even if I don't have time to read while I'm out) 2. iPad 3. Mechanical pencils 4. Highlighters 5. Sticky note tabs

Loewen - Simone Weil - Eddie S. Glaude, Jr. - Malcolm X Read your history. Learn from the past. That’s the path forward.

I’m reading through Bob Woodward’s books on the 45th Presidential Administration rn. Starting with his more recent book “War,” before jumping back to “Fear.”

Half-Price Books is a gem and I wish there was one closer to me.
