i am not someone who can pick up and read one book at a time, i am usually reading 3-4 at various paces. currently i’m reading 1 nonfiction book, 1 fiction ebook, 1 poetry book, and i’m actually also reading a graphic novel too!
having at least one ebook means i can read when i want to in public (ie transit) even if i don’t have a physical book on me and of any physical copies i’m reading, at least one must be paperback so i can toss it in my bag
poetry books (and graphic novels but i read those less) are quicker reads for me so they help me if i get into a slump with the other books, and i have the freedom of choosing between fiction and nonfiction depending on the vibes of the day lol

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
