New hobby - reading what my wife's high school students are reading. So far, so good. Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi was absolutely beautiful and heartwrenching. That's a book that's going to sit with me for a while. Now to go see if Libby has her other book, Transcendent Kingdom :) #booksky

If you care about protecting Big Bend, it may be time to rethink where you spend your money. YETI co-founder Ryan Seiders is part-owner of a West Texas ranch that has been facilitating construction tied to Trump’s border wall project in the Big Bend region.

I really enjoyed the Challenger book, so I picked up Midnight in Chernobyl by Adam Higginbotham from the library. I've warned my wife that Im going to be a fount of layman's fun facts about radiation, nuclear energy, and catastrophic government corruption for the next two weeks.

For your convenience, the Pride and Prejudice live-posting super-thread 📚
A drawing of Elizabeth Bennet, a lovely young woman with her long hair tied up nearly under a ribbon and wearing what is most likely a neo-classically inspired dress, looking pensive, two letters in her hand. Meanwhile Darcy, a handsome but stern-looking fellow, looks longingly at her. Also there is me, a little gremlin in big round glasses, skulking about in the background and hoping that they kiss. 

The accompanying text reads “Trung reads Pride and Prejudice for the first time, somehow.”

Once, our HS football coach w/ a straight face explained to us how soccer was communist b/c everyone can play it - which might have been a nice talk, but then he went on to how it was a threat to America and thats why we play Football, a game of skill and American strength. I hope he's doing ok.

I'm 2 / 2 reading books because I saw an interesting trailer, haha. Finally got around to Project Hail Mary and then had a little cry :) I had to spoil the movie a bit b/c dammit, I'm not watching if the ending scenes aren't the same. Hopefully I'll get to see the movie this weekend :) #booksky

I was intrigued by the trailer, so I read Klara and the Sun recently. That was a great read, unsatisfying in thay delightful way that I associate with Ishiguro with all the questions you're left holding lol. And now Im even more curious about how they're adapting it to a movie!

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING

Choose your leaders

with wisdom and forethought.

To be led by a coward

is to be controlled

by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool


is to be led

by the opportunists

who control the fool.

To be led by a thief

is to offer up

your most precious treasures

to be stolen.
To be led by a liar


is to ask

to be told lies.

To be led by a tyrant

is to sell yourself

and those you love

into slavery.

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo
It was because he wanted there to be conspirators. It was much better to imagine men in some smoky room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over the brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn't then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told their children bedtime stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was Us, then what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
