Hey, y'all! Need to get some food in the house, asap. I'm out. I need at least $100, to start, of this goal to make delivery worth it(I don't drive). Which turns out to be more like $80 in food after fees.

At $70 now!

Every dollar and share matters and is appreciated. @disability @blackmastodon @blackfedi @poetry please help amplify?

2023 in , inspired by https://shereads.com/traci-thomas-best-books-of-2023/ and I'd love to see other people answer these, too!

Two books I loved, part 1: Honeybees and Distant Thunder by Riku Onda, which is about four entrants in a classical piano competition in Tokyo, and the characters are all interesting and charming but best of all it just has wonderful writing about music -- like the title itself as a description of how a particular player makes a particular piece sound. It's beautiful, and unlike many books with multiple POVs, I loved all the protagonists equally and was never annoyed by a switch at the wrong time. Just beautiful stuff.
