Less arguing, more motivating.
Less normalizing, more resisting. Calling out.

Next book I'm listening to. So interesting! Covers so many words--their first use and how their use evolved. Pretty quick at 8.5 hours and just under 300 pages.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hint: The 'C word' really wasn't a bad word. Let's bring back the positive meaning.

I use Libby for free books from my library but here's Amazon. Goodreads gives it a 3.85, too.

@bookstodon Really enjoying learning about the history of pockets. Fascinating intersection of fashion and gender norms. I'm listening but don't miss the terrific illustrations in the book.

"The pile beside my bed never shrinks; at the bottom of the stack are books I've been planning to crack open for months. My shelves remain full of lingering aspirations," writes the Walrus's Michelle Cyca. She looks at the problem of unread books, and the difficulty in offloading our libraries. What do you do with your unwanted books?

I resell to my our second-hand bookstore. Don't get much money but hoping to keep the local store. Or, I pass them to a friend.

Trying to read more e-books from the local library. I've found the due date keeps me reading quicker than my hardcopies
