The cognitive dissonance of witnessing fascism in real time, trying to fight it locally, and also needing to decide what my daughter is going to have for her bento for school today is damn near driving me insane.
Thank god for books and book content. Truly the only time I can take a deep breath.

Over consumption, Anti-intellectualism, Trope-ification, Shallow reviews....all of these have been plaguing the book community recently.

Recently, I've been seeing a lot of discourse about peoples' reading choices.
Pressure to read certain things or read quickly, criticism of both engaging and not engaging critically with what you read, and do our reading choices really matter at all? What is the point of this hobby of ours? 🧵 1/5

Today we're reviewing Brigands and Breadknives, another heartwarming (if decidedly more action-packed) adventure, this time featuring a scene-stealing chaos goblin.

Was lisening to some old Dessa yesterday & this hook seemed exceptionally pertinent:
"I found your pale-faced blue-lipped God beneath the kitchen table. Starving and eating paper. He showed me what you wrote and what you'd asked. Love, nothing can live on prayers like that."

Finding the balance between staying informed & keeping myself sane has been,& will still remain, a challenge, but moments like this help infinitely:

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Amidst all the other horrors surrounding us right now, my purse chapstick has disappeared.
So now I've had to move my bedside chapstick to my purse and I'm bereft at night.
The world is now nothing but disarray and chaos.

WorldCon haul & the only two selfies I grabbed 😭
It was a wonderful, exhausting whirlwind.
Book-wise, found some absolute gems.
People-wise, Seattle was a heartwarming reminder of why the book community is amazing.
More on that soon as I do have some group photos to post 👀
