β€œImagination doesnt erase nightmares but it can repurpose them with an elaborate sensemaking or troublemaking. And if imagination leads to troublemaking, is it any wonder that those in power work tirelessly to squash radical imagination that dares to envision a world where all can thrive?” #booksky

β€œImportant and galvanizing.” Senator Bernie Sanders

Among many gems, fun highlights also include: 1) a young @samreich asking his dad to wake him up after being away for work and 2) a young Hillary Rodham with her hand raised for every question at law school while Bill never shows up for class lol.

Current read: β€œFrom political economist @robertreich, a lucid, impassioned argument that America's working class has been systematically betrayedβ€”not by one party alone, but by a bipartisan baby-boom America that made progress in certain areas, but fell short in so many important ways.”

Wanna see something cool?

At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is.

The result? The crowd losing its mind. πŸ”₯

β€œDeath is fast, doom is slow.” Johanna Hedva detonates a bomb in our collective understanding of care & illness. Radical reimagining of a world where care & pain are symbiotic reminds us that illness is neither inconvenience nor inevitability but an enlivening elemental part of being alive. #booksky

@laurenjoyfraley - but have you tried flashes (by Bluesky) yet? Nice to integrate it all in one spot.

That Time When I Was in a Cult and Got an Incredible Letter from a Friend One of the hardest questions I get asked by friends or family of people in cults is about how to talk with them about their experience. […]

I immediately think of this letter that @matthewremski.bsky.social once received from a friend πŸ’›

Sometimes I am still this same little sour kid, feeling this same little sour way about the tragic absurdity of the world.

β€œBoth told ideastream they β€˜go to the bathroom standing up.’
Unfortunately followup didn't reveal whether Hairston & Starr go both No. 1 & No. 2 while standing up, nor does it address the discomfort of a sexual harassment allegation response that forces us to imagine someone's genitals.”

Current audio bedtime story: β€œA woman inherits a pawnshop where you can sell your regrets, and then joins a charming physicist on a magical journey to find her father β€” by way of rain puddles, rides on paper cranes, the bridge between midnight and morning, and a night market in the clouds.” #booksky

You know me. I will always be proud of my incendiary origins with a dash of that musical theater kid powder keg, but I’m also a proud convert of the well-balanced group you’re referencing. I endorse this message.

Ha, I love that! I gathered a collection of paperbacks in the early 00’s and seem to remember feeling that way with Galapagos β€” which I’m now seeing was written in β€˜86. Everyone who has their Cubism phase gets their β€œBlue period” and β€œRose period” too I suppose.

Rereading my tattered paperback of Godbless you, Mr. Rosewater because, after all, when it comes to writers like #vonnegut, they’re β€œthe only ones with guts enough to really care about the future, to really notice what machines do to us, what war does to us… what catastrophes do to us.”
