All four countries are better off economically in a major way and don’t have to do bad things such as sell #oil or force their population to procreate and consume more!

Voracious reader, book collector, and scholar Ignacio Sánchez Prado writes about how he began collecting books when growing up in Mexico, and why it was and is so important to him to develop his working library. He takes an interesting look at the future or not of such libraries and of how they relate to scholarship.

A Library on the Eve of Packing - Pittsburgh Review of Books

I hope a bibliophile like me can be forgiven to write an essay on the eve of my library being packed. Since the publication of Walter Benjamin’s 1931

hey #bookstodon, anyone have any cozy sci-fi recommendations?

something low-stress? preferably with queer/disabled/POC inclusion/themes? I need to teleport myself somewhere else for a little while, yknow?

New definition of terrorism just dropped

“He kept repeating that I was causing fear and alarm, people could be placed in a state of fear and alarm because I was reading out this poem about dead babies, dead children,” the activist went on.

“He said if you do that again, you'll be arrested. I said, well, hang about till 1.30 because it'll be getting read out again.”

This might be a hot take - but if a person tells me that "they don't need a spellchecker or an editor" they are kidding themselves.

There is no way you can spot all of your spelling mistakes, punctuation errors, dialogue tag issues, funky sentence structures, after already spending (hopefully) a lot of time doing drafts and story editing. Even if you do read the script out loud several times - human brain gets numb from repetition and misses things.

Everything's more fun if it's a vice!😂

Today, my new book comes out, marking my official entry into publishing. Here after I'll put out a book every month.
I wrote this novella to reward those who supported #WindShortFilm but it took a life of its own since the main character, an old woman with social anxiety, has a lot to deal with. She has to coordinate the defense of her tight knit community when a coloniser invades.

Read a sample chapter.
