#BookSky #Voltaire #Zadig [...] self-love is a balloon inflated with wind, whence tempests emerge when it has been pricked.
It can lead to a pleasure in violence and in the infliction of pain [...] It should and could lead to a desire for a new world. It should lead also toward a love of all human beings, and of good will toward them. But those who have once learned to love violence for its own sake [...] 2/2
#AgathaChristie #PassengertoFrankfurt #BookSky The natural idealism of youth is fed more and more by a desire to destroy those two phases of modern life, injustice and crass materialism. That desire to destroy what is evil sometimes leads to a love of destruction for its own sake. 1/2

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"
The one in my town is called Scuppernong's. I was there yesterday, bought the Binti trilogy by Nnedi Okorafor. New books, used books, coffee, wine, special events like author readings or book clubs.
The more I process my time with the exes, the more I am grateful for the man I'm with now. He's not a perfect human, but he's the perfect human for me. #gaylove

A really fun fact.

If you go to the cartoonmuseum.org in Central London to see incredible collections & shows of the best cartoon artwork
& you pay for admission once, that ticket acts as an annual membership so you can go back as many times as you like in 1 year.

My solidarity with trans people isn’t at odds with Reproductive Justice — it’s integral to it.

I will keep using inclusive language. I will keep including trans people in my work.

Our liberation is bound together.
Are you coming along?

You and I, Ragnfrid, we have observed all the fast days and have tried to live by God's commandments in all things. And now it almost seems to me . . . that we might have been happier if we had had more to regret.
Kristin Lavransdatter I: The Wreath by Sigrid Undset. But I was at an antiques market this weekend and didn't have it with me, so now I'm also reading Hallowe'en Party by Agatha Christie.
#BookSky #AgathaChristie #HalloweenParty I know there's a proverb which says 'To err is human,' but a human error is nothing to what a computer can do if it tries.
I'm reading fewer this year, but I'm doing a reading challenge. RCs always slow me down because I respond poorly to goal-oriented motivation.
I think The Time Traveler's Wife would be a good book if it ended at the half-way point. I preferred Her Fearful Symmetry.
To err is human; to correct gently is humane. #IsaacAsimov

After the Funeral, by Agatha Christie.
As an autistic man, I have often gifted friends and partners with an imaginary personality that is much nicer than the one they have in real life.

If you’re talking about, much less promoting, books by Mormon authors like Stephenie Meyer and Brandon Sanderson to please acknowledge that these authors are contributing financially to a church spearheading an attacks on trans people.
