It's me! Still bi, still married. Still white and anti-whiteness (feel free to ask about that). Originally this was an alt account, then my main instance went down. Idk.
Header: still from "Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)" where Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) says, "Run, Piggy, Run!" (She's attacking a police station.)
Avi: a high-contrast edited selfie where my face is covered by a two-tone blue scarf, large amber sunglasses, and a dark blue tuque.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

Tell me a good book you’ve read this year that you’d recommend.

I’ll start: Crow Mary by Kathleen Grissom

@danwest @Likewise @bookstodon Is there a May-December romantic storyline?

SallyStrange,

@danwest @Likewise @bookstodon And is Desdemona's partner a man who's much younger than her? Just curious, I like Bujold but she has a Thing about May-December relationships, usually between an older man and a younger woman.

"Wizard of the Upper Silicon"

Here is a remembrance of Steve Jobs I posted 12 years ago upon his passing, commenting on the legacy that his style of portable, user-friendly electronics have left on indigenous peoples of the Amazon. Far from being overwhelmed by the digital world, they have found innovative ways to use these tools to defend and promote their own culture and political struggles.

@TootTropiques Ah, blowing up the photo now I can see the apple logo lol. You can edit your post to put all this info into the field for image descriptions! I try to provide my own when boosting posts that have photos without it, but obviously if it's your photo then yours will be more informative. :) @anthropology @ethnobiology @bookstodon @macrumors

This is a sumptuous piece of linguistic worldbuilding, that explores the relationship between subjectivity and collectivity, through well-imagined characters and exciting plotting.

@oarditi @bookstodon what? What's a sumptuous piece of world building?

Sally Adee, author of "We Are Electric: Inside the 200-Year Hunt for Our Bodies' Bioelectric Code, and What the Future Holds": Now I will explain the electric charge of cells and how this creates nerve impulses by comparing the inside of a cell to a club and the ion channels to bouncers.

Me, who's reading this book because I'm a fucking nerd who never goes to clubs: oh come ON

@bookstodon folks, do you listen to audiobooks? If so:

  • Do you have favorite narrators? Or the opposite? Ever started or quit listening to something because of the voice?
  • if you’re talking about a book, do you say you’ve read it?

SallyStrange,
@SallyStrange@autonomous.zone avatar

@lunalein @bookstodon Every day! I use the Libby free library app. I listen to nonfiction in the morning and fiction in the afternoon. At night I use favorite old fiction to fall asleep.

Chris Kipiniak, who narrated most of the series, is one of my favorite narrators. I did stop listening to the 5th & final book, The Harbors of the Sun, bc Kipiniak wasn't narrating and the new guy changed the pronunciations. And voices. One or the other could have been OK... but both?

Really enjoying this. It's both an impressively erudite and remarkably accessible retelling of that centers peoples and obliterates a number of national myths. Highly recommended and worth imitating for historians (like me!) working in other national contexts. @histodons
