@oconnor-steven.bsky.social#Justread One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad.
“This is an account of a fracture, a breaking away from the notion that the polite, Western liberal ever stood for anything at all.”
A book for the moment! - 4.5/5

@mikebaehr.bsky.socialAimless young adults in the 2000s, looking for purpose, facing unexpected tragedy, being silly, and coming together over the power of music. It's all pretty emo, and I think I'm too old for stories like this now, but darn it if I didn't get caught up rooting for these kids. #JustRead

@mikebaehr.bsky.socialInterconnected manga short stories that range from bittersweet to downright sad. A good library sale score from a number of years back. I don't think I realized this was volume 2 when I picked it up — I was just excited to find it — but it worked mostly okay starting halfway through. #JustRead

@mikebaehr.bsky.socialI decided that this would be the year I read Moby Dick. It's a lot! — digressive, profound, funny, obsessive, a feast of language. Sometimes difficult to penetrate, but always absorbing. #JustRead

@reneep326.bsky.social![You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It by Lisa Rinna
The New York times bestseller
I went into this read only knowing Lisa as being outspoken and for her iconic lips. She did a great job with the audiobook and it was super engaging, playful, and earnest. This was honestly a great read with nuance, interesting stories (even though I lack the Real Housewives history), thoughtful reflections on women, aging, power, and culture, as well as some solid advice and perspective!

I started back in December 2025 and did one short reading block each month, so this is a momentous day to finally finish! Rating this high because this compilation of stories was so incredibly thought-provoking and each session unlocked something for me to reframe, experiment with, and reflect on. Yes, I did write a chapter in this book (20!), that was one small piece of this beautiful mosaic. I’m glad (thanks spirit team for the inspiration) that I ended up doing a whole podcast mini series on this book because of the resonant themes that emerged, sparks for research and introspection, and even tears along the way. Absolutely recommended for anyone who is spiritually curious as well as those, like myself, who already had their awakening — the guidance of these stories is still relevant because there’s always an uplevel around the corner!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:ejfffu4y3pzobrllmy7t5byc/bafkreibzkl3qsu65f6vr5y2zq55reb4b7gooyx3spvivh3x37oan5yu4ky@jpeg)
@mikebaehr.bsky.socialIs it bad that the more Murderbot gets in touch with its emotions the more I relate to it? System Collapse has MB using its obsession with TV in a creative way that I appreciated; Platform Decay starts with a teamup with MB's new "friend" that I wish lasted longer. #JustRead
@mikebaehr.bsky.socialAs someone interested in learning more about the workings of my own brain, I found this pop-sci book about cognitive neuroscience to be a little bit disappointing. Some interesting tidbits, but a lot of it just seemed obvious to me. #JustRead
