BTW, your new avatar looks nice. I hope everyone else enjoyed their day.


Go, team USA! (Sorry y'all! lol)



Congratulations, Gemma! Great question! Nothing immediately pops into my head, so I'd have to think on it a bit. I hope you get some great suggestions.


Do you know how much evil would cease to exist if everyone lived by this one simple phrase?

Congratulations!!
Can't help much with the reading - my cynical old mind immediately goes to the opening lines of Pride and Prejudice.

I went to the lab for blood tests today and there was a sign up that said "kindness is contagious". It certainly made me smile.


I just finished an Ursula LeGuin book, as part of my yearslong project to read her entire body of work. The book I just read was "Changing Planes," a collection of interconnected short stories. The "planes" are literal airplanes but also, of course, because it's Ursula LeGuin, metaphysical planes. The narrator visits different "planes" of existence and tells us anecdotes about them. The stories are basically ethnologies of fictitious cultures, which are entertaining in themselves and also usually make a subtle commentary on our own culture.

Happy Labor Day, Christine! I read a lot today! :)

I agree Saar

HAVE A SAFE WEEKEND, EVERYONE!
