I started running in July, and yesterday I ran my first #halfmarathon in 1:49:44 / 8:23 pace. What a feeling it was holding back tears while crossing the finish line! I think it’s safe to say I’ve got the race bug. 🏃🏻♀️ #running #runner
Race No. 3 of my #running career ✅
@cucb.bsky.social 10 mile — 1:17:29 / 7:45 pace. Hoping to be back next year! 🌸 #runners #runner

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

I get a lot of questions about how I went from not #running at all to running a sub 2-hour #halfmarathon in 6 months.
I am *not* an expert, but I attribute my success to the following:

Hey #runners — how was your long run this week? I got 11 miles in. First 9 in zone 2, pushed the last 2. And I got to watch this beautiful sunrise.

Today I told someone I’ve read 70 books this year and now I feel like a big liar.

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

Musk admitted X throttles links, and Threads is only a little better. But social media's quiet war on links has been going on for years. I wrote about how big tech has been draining the open web's lifeblood and giving us "news influencers" instead of the news. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like

Wow the "do audiobooks count as reading" discourse is on Bluesky, too!? Let's not do that here, folks!
And yes - let's stop policing how people consume their books. 👇

I’m convinced the “do audiobooks count as reading?” argument all derives from those mid-90s summer reading pizza challenges.
Folks - we’re all in our 30s and 40s now. It’s no longer a competition.
Go buy your favorite pie with your adult money and let people enjoy books however they want.

I didn't *need* another social media account, but if this truly does end up being the Twitter I used to know and love, COUNT ME IN.
