I read Nature's Best Hope (Young Readers' Edition): How You Can Save the World in Your Own Yard (Young Readers' Edition) by Douglas W. Tallamy, Adapted by Sarah L. Thompson. 📚
I’m trying to actually do this “Homegrown National Park” thing in my yard, so I have a lot of notes, but I’m not ready to share them. (Today I’m just trying to get my 2024 reading log filled out and updated.)

I read Rejection by Tony Tulathimutte. 📚
Extremely depressing. Debilitating levels of chronic cringe. Possibly the most self-aware book ever. Life-affirming empathy machine. Absolutely hilarious. 5 out of 5, would read again. BOTY?

I read Body Work: The Radical Power of Personal Narrative by Melissa Febos again. 📚
Took so many notes and quotes from this today, which I always think I am going to do with books like this but rarely ever do. Learning to be more deliberate and thorough about my reading and writing, I hope.

I listened to The Sunset Violent by Mount Kimbie. 🎵
Genre: dreampop indie rock? I don’t know what, was expecting something dubsteppy James Blake-y and this was honestly better than I thought it would be

on posting updates again, and pushing to some social media sites

Decided to start posting again and push my updates to micro.blog and then to a bluesky account I set up. Thinking about pushing to Threads as well, but not pulling the trigger on that yet.
Now to see whether it works like I hope it will, wether I stick with it or get scared, whether I actually want anyone in the world to be aware of my weird little website.
