Kicked off my Pride Month reading with THE REBEL’S GUIDE TO PRIDE by @matthewhubbard.bsky.social, and I don’t think I could have chosen a better book given the current state of our country. It had me at Pride Speakeasies, but this is a great coming of age story, and perfect for Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing. But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

February 25 Recap A trend: 5 books finished again this month. I did DNF one, Summer in February by Jonathan Smith. I’m trying to read a book each month with that month in the title, but this one just wasn’t working for me, so I decided to set it aside. Everything else was top notch! #BookSky📚💙

My February Reading recap:

The Calculating Stars and The Fated Sky by Mary Robinette Kowal (both re-listens getting ready for book 4 in March); The Haunting Between Us by Paul Michael Winters; and Crossover volumes 1 & 2

I enjoyed The Haunting Between Us by @pmwintersauthor.bsky.social so much, I had to get Together In a Broken World. Thanks to @wayfaringbooks.bsky.social for ordering it for me! #BookSky📚💙 #QueerBooks #QueerBook

The cover of Together in a Broken World by Paul Michael Winters.

Book description:

Two boys fall in love in a deadly world, but it's the secrets they keep that might kill them.

Seventeen-year-old Zach was visiting his uncle in a small Montana town when a mysterious illness ripped through the world. Most died, but those who survived the Infection became mindless killers, spreading the disease with a single scratch. Now, a year later, civilization lies in ruins, and Zach is the town's sole survivor. Desperately lonely, he longs to return to his family in Seattle, but his fears hold him captive.

Eighteen-year-old Aiden is on a critical mission for the covert Scientific Collective, delivering vials whose contents could cure the Infection. Tortured by his boyfriend's death, he welcomes the risks of the perilous journey. When a militia attacks Aiden, he flees to Zach's town.

The boys escape together and soon form a bond as they comfort each other in this desolate and broken world. The farther they travel, the more their affection grows, as do the forces pulling them apart. But their greatest threats are the secrets they keep. Zach hides details of his uncle's death, and Aiden conceals the vials' sinister origins. In order to survive, they'll have to confront the truths that could tear their love apart.

Instead of trying to find all this supposed governmental spending corruption, why don’t all of Trump’s Billionaire Bros just pay their fair share in taxes? I’d bet that would bolster the government a bit.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income

This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

January 25 Recap I read 5 books total this month, & while that’s less than I normally read, I decided to do away with a goal this year & just read what I want. My goal felt like I was pressuring myself to read, instead of reading for enjoyment. So, less books, but more joy in reading. #BookSky📚💙

The stack of books I read in January 25: Adrift in Currents Clean and Clear by Seanan McGuire; Star Wars: Someone Who Loves You by Beth Revis & Sophie Li; Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor; Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi; and The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow. Not the usual number of book that I read in a month, but all excellent books. A solid month of reading.
