I read so many different books, most of which were random library binges. I really wanted to read more diverse fiction, and it's been awesome getting to explore new voices.

I love the library.

Reading more frequently was one of my favorite parts of 2025. As long as the world stays floating, I wanna be reading. Thanks @thestorygraph.com for the graphic!

Well at least I completed my reading goal, this year has been such a fever dream.

One day I'll reach the big boy numbers. One day.

Me: (working on novel)

Brain: Hey, got a great idea for a novel. Not this novel.

Me: (typing) Not now, brain.

Brain: Don't you wanna know what it is?

Me: NOT NOW, BRAIN

Brain: I'm not gonna lie, it's SUPER cool

Me: LET ME FINISH THE NOVEL IN FRONT OF ME, BRAIN

Brain: Okay, I'm gonna tell you

Merry Christmas Kitties,
On an advent box,
Licking their chops,
Treats,
Not photographed.

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.
I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing." John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

Smiling Mychal with hands raised wears an outer space shirt in a library. It is a still from an episode of Reading Rainbow. LeVar Burton smiles with hands behind his head as he lies down on a colorful pile of books. ENEMY PIE book rests on his chest.

Rapture In Wait: Stanza 1:

Cement bound, on Earth,
looking up,
no bodies float,
but I still see,
sinners waiting,
to see the gates,
and inspect the walls around heaven.
