#JumpStart2025 Read2025

Read for #NaturalItsy #LitSolace this was a lovely little book. While not every point made was applicable to me, there were lots of ideas, thoughts & quotes that resonated & that I highlighted. A good calming read overall for a January that‘s gone crazy. 🍵

DieAReader 💖Happy you enjoyed it. I did as well 13h

Just a little vent session. An author I read and enjoy posted to their group about why she feels you should replace your kindle with a kobo or an iPad. I info shared about some of things that went into my decision to keep a kindle bc hey I spent hours researching so why not make sure on this very the zon is evil post that I throw it out there for others. I was snarked back at. When did we lose the ability to even discuss ereader merits?! 👇

BethM I get that they‘re an evil empire and if/when you can afford to not give them money go for it. But increasingly we throw the baby out with the bath water. We can‘t always make the choice to avoid them for a variety of reasons. So we shouldn‘t assume someone is an asshole for keeping their kindle 😂 Life has nuances. Ugh rant over 😂 1d
Ruthiella Sorry to hear that! I‘m keeping my Kindle. It‘s how I access my library books. 1d
BethM @Ruthiella thanks. Library lending was actually part of my point. Kobo has come a long way but they can‘t compare content wise. And don‘t get me started on why an iPad is different than an ereader 😂 1d

TheBookHippie What exactly are they doing for their community ? Maybe concentrate on that and not whether you have a kindle? I do have personally absolute NO I will not purchase from people and places, that‘s my belief, you‘re allowed to have your own belief, what I or anyone else thinks is moot. But yes, nuance has died. I have my old trusty old old old kindle too, it‘s how I get library books as well. 1d
TheBookHippie @BethM I cannot use an iPad and ummm Apple and Amazon same same. 1d
5feet.of.fury @BethM not to mention plenty of indie authors depends on KU or kindle direct so can‘t win ‘em all 19h

#weirdwords @CBee

One way I'm going to try to endure these next four years is to point out so-called “logical“ fallacies from this #ldf (lame-duck felon) and his underlings when I can. I'm filing these in my brain as #weirdwords because most logical people avoid these imbecilic traps.

Aims42 I‘m here for it! 🙌 1d

TheBookHippie You‘re in for a ride 🎢 2d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie this book is making me feel like the 20‘s are cursed and then next 30 years are going to be hell. 2d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie the 2020‘s are gearing up to be much like the 1920‘s. 2d

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I mean, I already had that feeling, but this book is really confirming that for me. 2d
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I know. 😵‍💫 2d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie just change the names and the countries and this could be 2070 and the rebuilding (again) West. 2d
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics yup. Heather Cox Richardson says she will not see the end. She‘s 62. I won‘t either. 2d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I might see the end. I‘ll be 84 in 2070. I fear I won‘t see the end either. 2d
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I hope you do!!! Hold the line! 🙃🤪 2d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I literally went in to indeed today to do my daily ritual of feeling crappy about myself to get the message “we can‘t find any job recommendations for you at this time.” That amount of self loathing should last me DAYS! 2d
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics 😵‍💫😵‍💫😩😩😩😩 I‘m so sorry!!! 2d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie it‘s not surprising. I was honestly expecting the job market to crash after he was sworn in. It just sucked to actually see. Who knows when or if it will ever come back. 2d
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I foresee lots of field work jobs here 😵‍💫😝 2d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie there is all that forest land around you to exploit and destroy. I‘m sure there will be lots of work in the fields that handle that sort of thing. If they deport everyone who isn‘t white, that will leave all of those jobs too. 2d
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics RIGHT?! My treeeees!! 2d

At the airport, waiting to board with Hilo Tuesday on repeat.

Finishing up this thoughtful title from #Naturalitsy #MidWinterSolace #BuddyRead. I‘ve been taking my time with it. 🧘🏻‍♀️🍵

Definitely a #blameitonlitsy purchase, but one that‘s useful/appropriate for our times. Maybe Montaigne is the way to help us find our way back to each other. #litsyatoz #letterM

Tamra Oh, this is a good reminder to take my Montaigne off the shelf! I really enjoyed his essays and have meant to get back to them. The complete collection is perfect for dipping in & out. 1w
Lcsmcat @Tamra Do you have a favorite translation or so you go back and forth? 7d
Tamra @Lcsmcat my translation is by Donald Frame. The Complete Essays of Montaigne. I haven‘t read any others, but I‘d be interested. 7d
Lcsmcat @Tamra My Kindle version is Cotten/Florin/Hazlitt. (It was cheap 😀) but I may invest in a paper copy a with a different translation. As tempting as it is to read it in French, I‘m not sure I‘m up to the archaic language! 7d
Tamra @Lcsmcat oh, yes that would be difficult! Even reading it in translation requires concentration. 7d

There are a few gem reflections in this, a book that purposely asks the reader to take their time reading. It‘s reflective and calming. Admittedly, there were a few times I did not quite agree with the author‘s musings, but that may be the point—it opens for good discussion. Overall, a lovely book. Great pick for the #MidWinterSolace #BuddyRead !

DogMomIrene That‘s how I‘m feeling too. Kind of between So-So and Low Pick. I‘m a little past halfway, so I need to pick this up more to finish. 7d
Librarybelle @DogMomIrene It‘s a good reflection overall, but I‘m glad I picked it up at the library rather than buying a copy. 7d
