Mindset reset: Right now, brave Ukrainians are defending their land & loved ones, at the cost of their sanity, limbs & lives. It’s an existential fight for their democracy & way of life. If the Russians lose, they go home. If the Ukrainians lose, they will be overrun & destroyed. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

In today's Odd Lots Newsletter, i wrote about Walter Ong Thought, and how as we return to Orality, we're completely re-wiring the logic engine of the human brain. Get the newsletter here: www.bloomberg.com/account/news...

The constitution is supposed to be a set of morals and ideals, not laws to be circumvented or ignored for the sake of wealth. We can either have a society for the betterment of all or choose anxiety, depression, segregation and hated. I know the world I want to live in.

Bringing it to 🦋 by request: People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. A better person made it. But there's no level of skill beyond which you stop being you. You hate the most valuable thing about your art.

Libraries matter now more than ever. They stand for the powerful idea that knowledge is free and belongs to everyone. In a time when books and free thought are under threat, we must defend and support our libraries and librarians—they are guardians of access, learning, and freedom.

Section 1, of the 14th Amendment:

A little louder for the folks in the back: The development of vaccines is likely the greatest achievement of mankind. www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/202...

If your religion calls for the punishment of those who do not follow it, your religion is evil.

What a time to be alive

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok? Signed, a librarian.

Norms are good. Pressure works. We need to protect norms. This feels like a small victory but every victory is in fact a victory. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/03/u...

I’m not currently reading Agatha Christie by a crackling fireplace on a snowy day whilst indulging in multiple cups of tea and freshly-baked scones, so no, I’m afraid your email didn’t “find me well”.

If there’s some person in your life that liked reply all and you think they’d also like Hyperfixed, it would mean the world to me. Discoverability in podcasting has never really been great, and the only surefire way I’ve found to grow audience is to get stories on other shows.

Amazon might deliver 'convenience', but it can’t replicate the magic of stepping into a quiet bookstore on a rainy day, where the scent of old pages mingles with fresh coffee and every shelf holds the promise of a new adventure waiting to be discovered.

This is your reminder to get a library card. They have so many services and basically all of them are free.
