For my kids 18th, we take them to a city with friends and let them explore. Yesterday, spent the day in NYC with my daughter while my son roamed with his boys.

5th Book of the Year: This is Strategy by Seth Godin So, I must confess, I'm a Godin-ite. I've read every book he's written. This one felt like a summary of his ideas in a lot of ways. It reads like a daily devotional. I'd recommend reading it slow, a few passages a day.

4th Book of the year: Solar Lottery by Philip K Dick It was amazing. It's a huge epic with all the PKD futurist weird bits. I love how PKD does world building. He doesn't explain anything until he absolutely has to and then only in context of a scene. And even though its sci-fi, its all dialogue.

My 15 year old and I just listened to "untitled" by Kendrick which was released in 2014. That's a weird sentence. Some things about this world are cool. And the album is amazing open.spotify.com/album/0kL3TY...

Now that the weather has turned, I went back to walking Baltimore while Riggs is in dance. Fantastic stroll to MICA today. Baltimore is beautiful.

UPGRADE x HANNIBAL Neural experiment. Secret island. Billionaire Ashlynn wanted empathy, not murder. Now her brain’s hijacked. Only Dr. Fields—the man she’s falling for—can help. But is he savior or villain? Love/terror clash as every thought turns deadly. #2025Pit #T #S #A v v whole vibe

When people send you hate on your posts, respond so the algorithms think they should see more. 😈😈👿 Here’s hoping this person’s feed is full of queer content forever and ever 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Screenshot of a comment from the clock app. Comment reads, “I’d rather get hit by a bus than read a single word of that.” Response to said comment reads, “Cute, thanks for interacting, hope your fyp is filled with all the rainbow love as far as the thumb will scroll.”

Those that know me, know that Dr. King is my personal hero and I wrestle deeply with his teachings. I hope you will grapple with him as well this week. Most of us have heard "I Have a Dream." Here are some of my favorites in this thread (?) Jet Stream (?) Chemtrail (?) (not sure what to call it).

3rd Book of 2025: Joyful Recollections of Trauma by @paulscheer.com Great engaging memoir. Do the audio book because there are extras from the podcast. Both funny and heart warming. A great picture of a person who survived and came out the other end of trauma evolved and smiling. Super recommend.

2nd Book of 2025: Rejection by @tonytula.com This book is a collection of short stories from different POVs. Sexual content is a hard R (and not the fun kind). It's the best ending of a book I've read in a long time and the POV voices are amazing. I really recommend this one for every writer.

I set a goal for myself to read a book a week this year. 1st Book of 2025: Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar Loved the writing. Beautifully built book. The transition between POVs was great. Didn't love the main character. He was tough to read.

Just finished Brit-Marie Was Here by Backman. Amazing book. And not the ending I saw coming. Absolutely loved it. Backman is a total master.

Started reading Brit Marie Was Here by Backman yesterday. God, that man can write amazing books. Adding this one (along with his others) to my list of "books I'd like to have with me if I were buried alive."
