KAO What a fabulous baking project! 🎃 And a fitting tribute! @BarkingMadRead (edited) 4d

Clare-Dragonfly Frankie is a bit of a hypocrite! At the beginning he was all “oh don‘t do science, let me tell you my story of how science is bad” and then he‘s telling him to go on! The creature is a hypocrite too… 4d

TheBookHippie This is such a sad sad sad story, and I‘m afraid it was and still is this sad for so many women. It hurts my heart. 2y

Ruthiella This mutual infatuation with Angel makes me think of middle school crushes. Blech. He‘s not worth it. 2y

Bookwormjillk Why do I think Angel will come back and tell Tess he was sick and it was her fault. 2y

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella 🎯 2y

currentlyreadinginCO Yeahh... I forgot how sad this story is! My copy has a sweet little pastoral scene on the cover (with strawberries and chickens 😒), and I am chuckling at the contrast with the drama within! 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Ugh, no one will leave Tess alone, whether they want to call her a slut, pretty, or ugly! 2y

Slaughterhouse-Five (Anniversary) | Kurt Vonnegut

This explains a lot. I think it‘s sad, but true.

Faibka This actually surprised me as I had never thought about it in that way, but yeah. How many unworthy people are currently in power only because they‘re rich and well connected? 6y

GingerAntics @Faibka right? I don‘t understand when or why we started conflating money and power with intelligence and worthiness. 6y

StellarDoc I'm only about 50 pages in. So far, it's on par with The Cruel Prince 7y

dgingo @StellarDoc Fabulous! I‘m so excited to read it! 7y

TheWordJar So glad you enjoyed! Merry Christmas! 7y

dgingo @TheWordJar Merry Christmas to you, too! 7y

StellarDoc @dgingo I just saw today that Lauren Groff is doing Arts and Letters Live on 1/27. 7y

dgingo @StellarDoc Ooh! I need to check out the new schedule! Isn‘t that the weekend of Holly Black, too? I need to get a ticket if I‘m going—I tried to, but my new zip code causes me some problems with online orders. 7y

StellarDoc @dgingo Holly Black is on 1/13. 7y

dgingo @StellarDoc Thanks! Obviously I‘ve failed to consult my planner. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7y

StellarDoc @dgingo Because you're on vacation! (I actually haven't written it in my planner yet. I just remembered it was the week after your party. 7y

dgingo @StellarDoc Ah yes—vacation! It‘s been so long that I forgot how that worked! #SadButTrue #ThanksForTheReminder 7y

Fascism: A Warning | Madeleine Albright

CitIzens of America were fed a steady diet of propaganda over the rapidly evolving medium of twitter.
#sadbuttrue #madeleinealbright #fascism #fascismawarning #hitler

Samplergal And fox entertainment hawking themselves as news. 7y

GingerAntics @Samplergal yeah, he does have a few media options, doesn‘t he? At least Hitler was a little more limited. She talked about radio only being a one way media so he was never challenged by listeners. At least Twitter is two way. 7y

Samplergal @GingerAntics Yes. I troll him as often as I can. 😜 7y

GingerAntics @Samplergal 🤣😂🤣 that‘s the spirit!!! I refuse to follow him. I did at first, but it just made me crazy. I couldn‘t do it for my own mental health. I just couldn‘t do it anymore and maintain any semblance of sanity. 7y

#audioknitting up at the mountain again while the kids 🎿 and board. Homework tonight so I shall enjoy the now.
I‘m not loving this but not hating it either. Celebrity memoirs have a much lenient scale than my usual scale. #sadbuttrue

[DELETED] 3803335244 Beautiful view!!! Yes to audio knitting 8y

[DELETED] 3803335244 Wanted to let you know we received round 2 book! Thank you! My son loves the pen & bookmark. ❤️❤️❤️ 8y

josie281 @ForeverNerdy sorry it was late! But glad he likes it! 8y

[DELETED] 3803335244 Oh no problem at all! He‘s not crazy about reading the book this time around. But I‘m hoping he changes his mind about it once we read it. Lol 😂 8y

josie281 @ForeverNerdy that‘s the fun of the rounds, isn‘t it?? My oldest son really enjoyed the series but I think it was due to aspects of the story like pigs bladders. 😂 8y

The Sociopath Next Door | Martha Stout, Ph.D.

pick

Slight cheat on this - 11yrs, not 10. I went into this knowing these types of books play off fear & making mundane fantastical. That being said, I enjoyed it. I think it's true that many people around us have at least some traits associated with sociopathy - and that these traits may in fact lead to success for some (in competitive environments where empathy may actually hold you back.) #sadbuttrue #published10yearsago #litsy2017readingchallenge

Global Journalism: Topical Issues and Media Systems | Arnold S. de Beer, John Calhoun Merrill

• People are basically illiterate--either "attitudinally" or "functionally": they simply don't like to do much serious reading or thinking, and they are hooked on entertainment. •

NO SHITE. AND I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS ?
