Highly recommend, I think audio books get a bit of grief, but it’s a really convenient way to engage with text you may not have before.
House of Leaves has several concurrent narratives tracking through it and it’s a novel that benefits from a physical edition because you can tease the threads in the order you like.
I think there is an ache that comes from living here, and I feel it’s more of a consequence of high cost living in major urban centers as opposed to being unique to Seattle.
It’s expensive here, but it’s supposed to be worth it because ultimately Seattle and Washington and I are wanting to see the same type of communities and culture thrive.
Every action is a political one and by living here versus somewhere else we’re actualizing the political power of our time, money, and geography.
Tin foil sales about to rise?
Lol, not Hell in a Cell, but it is the 30th anniversary of Lex & Yoko aboard the USS Intrepid.
For a long time the naked version of “I Me Mine” was my favorite underrated Beatles song.
Nice, Boost was my viewer of choice!
I really liked my Oneplus 8T for about 90% of the time I had it. Liked the look, good size, felt well built with that glass back, but then it just completely became unusable in the span of about three months. Definitely in “good” phone territory, but am a little hesitant to get another device.
I think the issue there is that eink screens are super low refresh rate. The new razr plus has a very usable and low demand outer screen that could get you close to that.
Use a small leather cardholder from Tanner Goods and when I have cash just use a rubber band to strap it to the wallet.
Yesterday, finished Stephen Markley’s The Deluge, a great read and a tremendous effort - highly recommend it.
The Deluge is a speculative fiction novel that focuses on the sociopolitical, economic, and ecological development of a series of catastrophic personal and global events stretching from the late 2010s with the narrative concluding around the late 2030s.
It’s a longer novel, around 800 pages, if you prefer something more compact Markley’s previous novel Ohio is terrific as well.
