What on the TBR? I don't have many followers, so I don't expect many people to see this, but what are we reading? I started the Licanius trilogy by James Islington and I'm loving it. Moving on to the second book shortly. #read #readers #booktok #books #fiction #fantasy #tbr #libraries

Having the love of a sane person is good but having the love of a complete maniac is a different beast altogether. It is the chasm between adoration and worship.

The Republicans are evil greedy bastards and the democrats are toothless spineless cowards. Is it finally time for Independents to sweep?

Is God just the fabric of space-time? God is everywhere, in everything. Created everything. That's space-time. You're talking about space-time.

What a truly exhausting time to have empathy

I think what we're seeing is a fundamental problem with the systems of governance in the world; they depend on leaders having basic human decency. Some do not. When the political pendulum swings right, people suffer. People die. Countries succumb to the lure of totalitarianism.

There are plenty of fish in the sea, yes, but there is also a significant amount of toxic waste.

The morning ice is perfect for cracking. The afternoon breeze smells of soggy rot as the snow melts. The Spring Equinox has come. Take a breath. The world may burn, but it won't stop spinning.

When you're young, you think the people doing drugs are hardcore. Then you get older and see people raw-dogging reality and form a very different opinion entirely.

My soul took a beating today. I got stretched too thin and I feel weak. Fragile. Limits are a hard thing to accept. Reaching them is scary. I didn't blow up today and I feel this pressure. I'll exercise. I'm out of shape, but sitting here is deepening the ache something terrible.

My current career pays me well enough but I do feel I would be more fulfilled in one of those Science jobs where you get rats addicted to cocaine.

Housing will continue to become more expensive for as long as it can be exploited by capitalism.

Politics is about trying to prove yourself right. Science is about trying to prove yourself wrong. Faith and doubt. Powerful enemies and dangerous friends.

Our state of mind is a product, in part, of the narratives we consume. Is it any wonder we feel like we're drowning when wading through the toxic waters of a poisoned political discourse and sensationalized news ecosystem? Consume a frivolous narrative. Inject a little whimsy, and note its effect.
