BooksThere are a lot of different versions, just like with any mythology, and things lost in translation. I think it’s honestly down to your preference. I prefer NIV, but that’s just me. I cannot stand the King James.
yes, there are nonfandom related comms there. not nearly enough, though, in comparison, which was my point.
I’d love to see more content like this to balance out all the fandom stuff
Beloved for sure
one of my faves!

FictionSeems like it may fall more under lunarpunk?
Ask Lemmysounds like a blog. you could try WordPress and use their Reader section to follow other Wordpress blogs. there's also writefreely and write.as
Agreed, school curriculums are currently designed so teachers have to teach to a test, and are evaluated on how their students score in these standardized tests, so there's no time to actually dive deep into things or engender a curiosity in reading deeply for pleasure.
Like in this article that explains how high school students these days aren't even assigned a whole book to read like back in my days, just excerpts to analyze and target specific curriculum standards. It's so sad and disheartening, they don't even get time to finish or appreciate a whole book, just a piece of it out of context. And just the barrage of short stories they don't even get to fully digest before they have to move on to the next one.
And then there's the rise of digital reading and its effect on comprehension and reading for pleasure. And the rise of book bans driving kids away from the library. It all paints a very depressing picture.
The article is counting news and magazines but not social posts. They actually say social posts are part of problem.
Recently started reading The Lives of Others by Neel Mukherjee. Trying to read authors from all around the world and this is my India book. Wild family saga that gets into history, traditional vs modern culture and religion, class politics. Really enjoying it so far.
Also listening to the audiobook of The Scar by China Miéville.
Started listening to audiobook of Factotum by Charles Bukowski
can confirm it goes downhill. haven't seen the show but the first book is pretty good. the second was way less interesting to me and made me not want to bother with the third. stopped caring about what happens to the characters.
Acorns from Quercus robur, picked and photographed on an oak plank in Tuntorp, Brastad, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden (2022)
Quercus robur, commonly known as the pedunculate oak or the English oak, is a species of tree in the family Fagaceae, comprising beeches and oaks. It is a large flowering plant, native to most of Europe, North Africa and western Asia. It is deciduous and grows to a height of up to 40 m (130 ft), with a single stout trunk that can exceed 10 m (33 ft) in girth. The fruits (acorns) are borne in clusters of two or three, on a long peduncle (stalk) that is 4 to 8 cm (1.6 to 3.1 in) long. Each acorn is 1.5 to 4 cm (0.59 to 1.57 in) long, ovoid with a pointed tip, starting whitish-green and becoming brown, then black. As with all oaks, the acorns are carried in a distinctive shallow cup. It is an “alternate bearing” species, with large crops produced every other year. This photograph shows a pile of acorns, in various stages of ripening, taken from a Q. robur tree near Brastad, Sweden, and photographed on a plank of oak wood. The photograph was focus-stacked from eight separate images.
