Tomorrow is Independent Bookstore Day—and I’ll be celebrating it in bookish style. First stop: a panel at the LA Times Festival of Books. Then a meet & greet at Flintridge Bookstore. If you’ve got a favorite indie, this is your nudge to show them some love. 🗃️ tinyurl.com/37kkd4n9

At the height of the worldwide postcard craze, no one produced more vibrant imagery of the Buddhist world than D.A. Ahuja. Here we see Myanmar's 17th century Kaunghmudaw Pagoda with unique hemispherical dome – most Burmese pagodas are pyramidal structures. 🧵 🗃️ 📜 #TheravadaBuddhism

The image depicts a building with a large, rounded dome crowned with a golden pinnacle. Below is an elaborate entrance, marked by a staircase leading up to a decorative archway. The facade is adorned with intricate, tiered golden carvings, which are accented by patches of greenery. A few people can be seen atop the stone steps toward the entrance. The sky is a vibrant gradient of pastel blue and pink, scattered with a few white clouds.

It's worth saying that while this news is gutting--it is NOT surprising. Science denialism has been brewing for decades. Many of us who have been doing this work for longer than COVID have been sounding the alarms about RFK Jr (and CHD) This was always his end game. And he finally got it.

Duolingo announces that Duo, the app mascot, is dead.

A very visibly dead version of the Duolingo owl app icon.

Duolingo’s message regarding the death of Duo:

“It is with heavy hearts that we inform you that Duo, formally known as The Duolingo Owl, is dead.
Authorities are currently investigating his cause of death and we are cooperating fully. Tbh, he probably died waiting for you to do your lesson, but what do we know.
We're aware he had many enemies, but we kindly ask that you refrain from sharing why you hate him in the comments. If you feel inclined to share, please also include your credit card number so we can automatically sign you up for Duolingo Max in his memory.
We appreciate you respecting Dua Lipa's privacy at this time.”

Review: Deep End by Ali Hazelwood Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Reading Method: 📘 Spice: 🌶🌶🌶 This book was peak Ali Hazelwood. I have loved all of her work thus far, but this one was just so good. I loved the dynamics between the characters, as well as the research she did on the sports. 10/10 #booksky 📚💙

Cover photo of Ali Hazelwood's Deep End. The title is in light blue against the purple edge of a pool. Clear teal water is in the background. A man's hand, his wrist covered in tattoos, holds the hand of a woman (with blue polish on her nails), against the edge of the pool.

I’m not kidding: those who delegate all their writing, thinking and creative expression to machines are going to wake up one day and discover that they can no longer write or think. You need to make your own art. You need to keep your brain working. You need to stay human.
