This haiku by Masaoka Shiki speaks to me 🥺

“house-bound in winter

turning to my books before

even washing my face”

I keep seeing lists and recs for short books/stories to cram in before the year is up to meet the “reading goal” and it makes me feel sad that I know how that feels. I feel sad that people need to feel rushed to read.

Slow down, friends. Read what you want, read what you must, but don’t force yourself to consume. I feel like reading should be about quality over quantity.

Being nonbinary I sometimes feel like I’m not “trans enough” or I don’t look “androgynous enough”.

I’m constantly struggling with my identity, but I just wanna say I am not cis, so Happy Trans Day of Visibility.

I am here and I exist.

How unaware many trekkers around the world are of what a luxury it is to be able to walk in the land they love without anger, fear or insecurity, just to be able to walk without political arguments running obsessively through their heads, without the fear of losing what they’ve come to love, without the anxiety that they will be deprived of the right to enjoy it. Simply to walk and savor what nature has to offer, as I was once able to do.

Unless I haven’t been very clear, I am pro-Palestine and I hope to live in a generation that gets to see their liberation and freedom from oppressive forces.

If this bothers you, please unfollow me. I’m not seeking to argue or debate.

I am pretty meticulous about keeping my books in good condition, but there’s something about finding a beat up book with a cracked spine and maybe the dust cover is a little torn that makes me feel such love and care and appreciation. You were loved and I will continue to love you.

“The book’s message is simple but powerful: the world can be a dangerous place, and there is no one coming to save you. Yet in kindness, courage, integrity, and community we find our hope. Most of us can’t be Bigwig, but Hazel, the true hero, is within reach of anyone willing to try to care for those around them, to make the world a better place.”

—Madeline Miller in her Introduction to the 50th Anniversary edition of “Watership Down” by Richard Adams

Just a friendly reminder as a lot of fun new books are being published/about to be released, try not to preorder them off Amazon.

I know it’s cheaper and you get it faster, but if you can support a local business or keep the money within your community instead of giving it to a corporation, that’d be great.

Obviously, some people don’t have this option, but if you do, shop local.

I have to say that I may only be like 80 pages in but I’d do anything for Bonedog. The best of boys.
