This picture book is almost 100 years old, but it doesn’t feel dated.
Well, I mean, it feels like an old fable. But it’s a timeless fable.
A lovely little story about the redemptive power of being loved and cared for, even if you don’t feel like the prettiest cat/person.

My Instagram explore page, for the most part, consists of cute Korean cartoons and cats being cute and/or crazy. My three favorite internet cats lately have been Guangdang, Francis and George. Guangdang is a cat that has a resting sad face (I can relate) and kind of “eeps” rather than meows. Francis is a 14 year-old cat with dwarfism. George is a really chatty Orange cat that’s a rescue, and he lives with this really wholesome lady in a beautiful garden and cottage in Wales. As we all know, the internet can be such an apocalyptic hole of discouraging stupidity, so these cats really bring me so much joy amidst all of the pure shit. I feel like I could die for them sometimes. I love them with all of my heart.

I feel like 12 is a wonderful place to start. 1 book a month. Keep it in your bathroom. Beside your bed. Where you eat your meals. Please read this year. It's one of the best things you can do for yourself. and for me, and for everyone who you'll tell, I'm reading again, and you should read with me too. Take pictures or screencaps of passages and send them to your friends. Read funny, easy books, evil and upsetting books, books that are boring but are still satisfying to finish. Go to the library. Challenge yourself. You will feel better, you'll feel proud of yourself, and you'll banish the negative moodlet of being mad or ashamed at yourself for not reading. It's ok that you haven't been. You had your reasons and it doesn't do any good to beat up on yourself. That was then and this was now. Start a book tomorrow bc it is a new day :)

I don't listen to any AI generated playlists because I prefer to hear ones curated by people. I love sharing music as a human to human thing. It's also dismaying how music streaming services prioritize the songs of artists whose management pay them, etc.
It's so fun to simply browse anonymous person's curated lists instead on top of sharing with friends. It's never been easier to peek into someone else's semi-private music preference and walk their landscape. Just today I found a person who's made dozens of playlists for specific beanie babies (!), all with no saves or likes.
We don't need AI driven sorting to develop taste and find things we like. Break out of the corral with me and run free. Let's see what's over the hill
