"Our thinking was limited by convention (the most subtle but oppressive dictator). Please forgive our lack of imagination." A lovely bit from an even lovelier book about the power of words: THE DICTIONARY OF LOST WORDS by Pip Williams https://t.co/3WjoYYxVjO

One of the books from my undergrad that has really stuck with me is Lingis’ The Community of Those Who Have Nothing in Common. https://t.co/OkW6QLaFEq https://t.co/fpr5oZ0yQN

@BitterOldPunk Did you ever read The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith by Peter Carey?

@APndrgrst Anne Balsamo’s DESIGNING CULTURE still does a good job of explaining this, although she probs under-estimated design’s thrall to capitalism and the “new”

It’s two years into the pandemic and I just finished Emma Donoghue’s THE PULL OF THE STARS. Set in Dublin during the 1918 flu epidemic, it made me cry silently and in ugly, gasping, snotty sobs. But it was astonishingly beautiful and remarkably hopeful. Highly recommended. https://t.co/n5sWWj74xM

I’ve been re-reading THE IMPOSSIBLE WILL TAKE A LITTLE WHILE because it’s getting harder and harder to believe that anything will change for the better. What are your favourite reads about the lives & work of activism? https://www.paulloeb.org/take-awhile/

Good Monday 🤗 It’s pretty much impossible to be anything but horrified at *waves arms frantically* EVERYTHING, so I watch the sun rise over the hills and just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

A day without rain means coffee & reading in front of a camp fire 🔥 I Hope We Choose Love by Kai Cheng Thom “a call for nuance in a time of political polarization, for healing in a time of justice, and for love in an apocalypse” https://t.co/f23PfpNRIk
