It really captivated me . Here's my brief GR review, if you are interested. Despite the 450 pages, it is a quick read b/c you don't want to put it down.

“They had to worry, and that was all. Worry was the reason they got up in the morning. The fuel of their lives. They lived in deference to it, honoring that imaginary pact made by parents everywhere: if we keep worrying, they’ll be okay.”

Mine was an easy pick--but also hard since there were so many to choose from in HOPE IN THE DARK by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social:

We write history with our feet and with our presence and our collective voice and vision.

I'll serve them

with toast.
Whoopy once
Whoopy twice
Whoopy chicken soup

This is my short review from way back when.

Jt O'Neill's review of The Worm at the Core

4/5: Ernest Becker's The Denial of Death was fascinating but his assertions had not been proven so the book lost some of its impact. Ten years after its publication, the three authors of The Worm at t...

Excellent read. I would also suggest the follow up book written by three of Becker's younger associates and is an extension of Becker's work.https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/170217/the-worm-at-the-core-by-sheldon-solomon-jeff-greenberg-and-tom-pyszczynski/

BTW, I just read your review of Mark Nepo's latest book (The Fifth Season) on Goodreads. You do write terrific reviews. Thank you. I have requested that one from the library.
I used to quilt a lot but then work took over. I'm thinking about picking it up again but, yeah, hands might not like that.

This is Portland right now. We’re“under siege” by pollen and potholes, that’s about it. We have a ton of live webcams if you want to watch us go to the farmers markets or walking our dogs, we love dogs.

It looks like Trump's hand picked Supreme Court isn't going to stop him from rescinding money that Congress already agreed to use.

How can Democrats agree to a Republican budget that lets Trump delete the parts of it he doesn't like?

Supreme Court allows Trump to cut $4B in foreign aid in 'pocket rescission'

The Supreme Court on Friday moved to allow the Trump administration to effectively cut $4 billion of foreign aid previously enacted by Congress.
