Ebooks are reading.

Audiobooks are reading.

Graphic novels are reading.

Pulp reading is reading.

Adults reading YA is reading.

It's all good, my friends. Don't let anyone tell you different.

THIS. Did you know sickle cell is curable, now? FULLY curable.

If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.
meanwhile.... medicine has taken INSANE leaps and bounds in the last 2 years.
we're out here curing HIV and leukemia and creating 100% efficacy vaccines against all sorts of cancers, and now this??

between this and renewable energy outstripping fossil fuels in efficiency, the future is bright
Wanna see real-life miracles? Fund scientific research.

A team of US scientists just cured Alzheimer’s in mice — and there is now hope that the disease can be reversed in humans.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

"Islamic Terrorism" since 2001 has claimed the lives of less than 30 Australians. Sad that this is.

Women killed by their intimate partners in 2025 stands at 62 plus 24 children. Where's the outcry.

So in 2025 there have been over 1000 anti-trans bills presented across the US. All because congressmen made hypotheticals about what could happen in a bath. Oh and that swimmer got 5th place once.
Meanwhile the POTUS was a frequent flyer at SA island with his best bud and we just get -redacted-

“Ahmed Al Ahmed. He saved my life & my 4yr old”
“I can only say thank you to that Muslim brother”

This is what the media should show. Messages of unity & hope from survivors. Despite that it’s not the answer this Sky News journo was seeking. #auspol #Bondi

Too many people think the issue is "ai look bad" not the stolen data sets not the workers rights not the climate change and the fact that people CANNOT AFFORD TO TURN ON THEIR HEAT because they're subsidizing data centers, let alone the misinformation and fascism

I'd don't want to minimise the terrorism at Bondi yesterday, but I'm glad it was wasn't in Victoria, could you imagine how the Media & RW would be reacting, what they're doing and saying now, would seem sensible & moderate.

I also hate that I had to have these thoughts. 😳

12 dead at a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.💔

A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice.

Both Jewish & Muslim faiths teach that “to save one life is to save all humanity.” Let us hold fast to our humanity.❤️

I've been looking for the words to say about Bondi other than a senseless loss of lives, sadness is all I've got and the hope that the media frenzy and politicising of this does not bring out the worst of Australia's society and cause more harm to innocent people.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

C'mere, pookie. We need to talk about how now is a difficult time for lots of people in publishing. Not just bc--*waves arms*--but bc we're seeing Best of the Year lists and Award Eligibility posts, and bc the last book deals of the year are being announced while sub times are longer than ever. 1/

Establishing a support network is essential for nurturing a healthy self-care lifestyle. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people who can relate to your challenges and goals can be incredibly helpful.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.
