@bookstodon As we approach the end of 2023, I would love to know about the very best books you read this year. (They don't have to have been published in 2023 for your "best of" list.)

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon Reread the "The Handmaid's Tale" and holy sh1t more relevant than ever.

Started reading "The Left Hand of Darkness" by Ursula K. Le Guin. Fantastic read and really keeps me on my toes. Wonderful writer.

Next up? Can't wait for this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/75286624-queen-of-cuba

My mind has been obsessed with this video all day! So well laid out how our two parties became one since the 80s and 90s.

@mdylanbell @sal @SeattleSanchez @actuallyautistic Hi, I'm from one of those communities most threatened by fascism. I voted for Biden.

There are some Dem party activists who are pleading with the party for Biden to step aside and let someone else run. Are they Trump supporters too? Why does it have to be Biden? We have time to pick someone else, possibly someone who isn't underwriting the genocide of an entire people.

What songs do you think are too good for their subject matter, like a song for an ad that's actually good, or a children's show theme song that slaps, ect?

@RickiTarr Sigh. The Pixies song, "Where is My Mind" has been licensed like 100 times. Heard it on an airPod commercial then cried inside, bitter GenX tears.

Okay, what movie/TV show/ book has the best take on time travel and why?

@RickiTarr I adored the last episode of Star Trek TNG, "Paradox". Was it accurate science? idk. What really caught me is changes to a timeline reverberating both backwards and forwards and the anomaly kept getting bigger in the past. btw, Q (John de Lancie) always just kills me. I miss the chemistry of those old trek shows.
