- Reposted by Misha (she/her)Amazon owns Goodreads, so yes your choice in reading tracker is political. Choose Pagebound instead, we’re 🌱 indie & self-funded 🧃 anti-AI & ad-free 🧙♀️ built by 2 women #booksky
- Loved this piece
- Reposted by Misha (she/her)The paradox of reading (and writing) is that you go away from the world in order to come back to it closer than you were before. (It’s the same way that returning from a trip temporarily makes home more visible.) All good books provide this experience in some measure. Probably most good art.
- I agree that we should frame reading as a pleasure and that reading is not necessarily a virtue. But why do we persist in allowing the framing that learning and expanding your thinking or even defending democracy can’t also be pleasurable and joyful?

- Listening to Pulp’s “We Love Life” after learning that Jarvis Cocker is a Booker Award judge! What!?
- Reposted by Misha (she/her)I said it before, will say it again -- generative AI fetishizes "ideas" while sneering at effort, execution, and education. That, despite Gen-AI being built on and out of other people's effort, execution and education.

- Excellent conversation last night with @danielhwilsonpdx.bsky.social @nisishawl.bsky.social & Alan Boyle. Wilson’s latest novel HOLE IN THE SKY is a story of first contact that also explores our relationship with the unknown. Indigenous technology & interrelatedness to the unknown also themes.
- Reposted by Misha (she/her)I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

- Reposted by Misha (she/her)I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.
