Essays of the 1960s & 70s | Susan Sontag

#MentalHealthMonday a day late !
1.every day is crazy day.I have much to do but the pain & cruelty coming down in this political scene is toxic.
2.music is always a great idea!
3. I was pretty edgy in my choices as a young adult, I find myself in this crazy time gravitating to the pop/rock of my childhood for comfort!😁I am diehard NPR usually, but can‘t take the ridiculous crap all day long.

Ruthiella Put on My Sharona and do a little time traveling. 💃🕺 2d

Leftcoastzen @Ruthiella indeed! My radio just played Huey Lewis and the News !😄 2d

Kerrbearlib I agree, the pain and cruelty is toxic. It can be so heartbreaking to read the news and so hard not to slip into despair. Love your book choice. What are some of your favorite groups from the 1970s? I've been listening to more music from that decade and really enjoying it! 2d

willaful Very much so. I have a playlist called “Willa's Happy Music.“ 2d

AmyG I am finding your #3…with movies. Movies from my youth are so comforting. And hugs to #1…madness. 2d

Leftcoastzen @Kerrbearlib oh so many, the Stones , the Who, when I was young so much was top 40 . The Kinks , Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Springsteen. I just had to stop & listen to Lean On Me by Bill Withers yesterday, let it wash over me! 2d

Leftcoastzen @Kerrbearlib listening to For What it‘s Worth by Buffalo Springfield often! 2d

Leftcoastzen @AmyG yes , movies ! Tacky , silly , serious, ones that made me happy or made me think! 2d

BethM I‘m so glad I got to see the Stones with my dad a few years ago! 2d

Leftcoastzen @BethM oh , wow ! That‘s so cool! 2d

I commented to @dabbe when she posted a screenshot of a BeeGees 45 record picture sleeve . Decided to pull one of my favorites from the way back machine. Pretty fancy with the matching label!

dabbe Oh, this is a solid classic! ⭐️💿⭐️ 3d

Photography for the Joy of It | Freeman Patterson

I haven‘t posted for quite awhile but I still scroll Litsy when I can. Been busy with health & work-related life stuff but seem to be getting back on track, finally. Just wanted to say hi & share a pic of the new-to-me barrister bookcase I recently got from my grandmother. Bottom shelf is a set of photography encyclopedias & top shelf holds my favorite photography books, some other photo-related books & fave cameras.

TheBookHippie How lovely! ♥️ 1w

Bookshops: Long Established and the Most Fashionable | Markus Sebastian Braun

Took myself to Leeds for the day mostly to visit this new little, women led independent bookshop. They do coffee too 😁 will definitely be popping in again when I‘m next in Leeds.

squirrelbrain Oooh I was only reading about that yesterday! I need to make a trip soon - haven‘t been into Leeds for around a year, not even to visit The Leeds Library. 😳 1w

Chelsea.Poole That looks like the perfect cozy reading corner. 1w

Cathythoughts Lovely and bright 💛 1w

squirrelbrain Yes, I joined when I worked in Leeds just round the corner and I used to go nearly every day! ☺️ I‘m still a member now as I feel like I have to support them. I‘ve just been so busy that I haven‘t been to Leeds to do a spot of shopping even. 🤷‍♀️ 1w

Cityscapes of Boston: An American City Through Time | Robert Campbell

“Boston‘s cityscape is a perfect blend of history and modernity. Cobblestone streets lead to towering skyscrapers, while the Charles River reflects the city‘s timeless charm. From the iconic brownstones of Beacon Hill to the futuristic Seaport skyline, every corner tells a story of resilience and innovation. #Boston #Cityscape #HistoryMeetsModern”

Not a happy moment in the book. Lots of triggers.

Bookwomble Sounds like a gruelling read 😮‍💨 1mo

Ruthiella I often feel bludgeoned by books when too many bad things happen one after the other 1mo

sblbooks I like the book, I believe I gave it four stars. However, I can totally understand where you're coming from. It was brutal. 1mo
