Welcome. You can go to someone’s profile and “favorite” them. Im not sure if that results in them showing up in your feed, or saves them more like a bookmark.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Am I the only one that believe the US has to go through some sort of painful transition/civil war/revolution to fix it? Is reforms from Democrats enough?
13·3 months agoI highly recommend you read Blueprint for a Revolution by Sroja Popovic. Dude was involved in the Serbian revolution and has advised movements around the world on what works against fascist regimes and what doesn’t. Our hope isn’t in a party, it’s in the people. And violence not only isn’t required for a Revolution, it’s not anywhere near as effective as non-violent resistance.

Books@lemmy.ml•Possibly Stupid Question: best place to discuss books on the Fediverse?
3·8 months agoIdk but if you find out, let me know. The book suggestion subreddut was the hardest one for me to walk away from, because I love recommending books, and I found much of my TBR from threads there.
No need to censor, you can say A on lemmy.

Books@lemmy.ml•Looking for recommendations for good Sci-Fi mystery novels

An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green
No, I keep a TBR and use a random number generator to select my next read. I have no problem DNRing because I have no problem finding new titles that look interesting and life is too short to read them all. Why should I waste my limited time on this earth reading something I’m not enjoying? Who does that benefit?
Feed by MT Anderson, published in 2002 had a good take on how they algorithms and advertisements would run our lives.
For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon — a chance to party during spring break. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their .heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy girl who has decided to fight the feed and its ever-present ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. M.T. Anderson’s not-so-brave new world is a smart, savage satire that has captivated readers with its view of an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here and now.

Books@lemmy.ml•Looking for a specific type of horror recommendation
2·1 year agoI’ve only just started reading this, so I can’t guarantee that it fits the brief, or that it’s good: look into The River by Peter Heller.
From the best-selling author of The Dog Stars, the story of two college students on a wilderness canoe trip–a gripping tale of a friendship tested by fire, white water, and violence
Wynn and Jack have been best friends since freshman orientation, bonded by their shared love of mountains, books, and fishing. Wynn is a gentle giant, a Vermont kid never happier than when his feet are in the water. Jack is more rugged, raised on a ranch in Colorado where sleeping under the stars and cooking on a fire came as naturally to him as breathing. When they decide to canoe the Maskwa River in northern Canada, they anticipate long days of leisurely paddling and picking blueberries, and nights of stargazing and reading paperback Westerns. But a wildfire making its way across the forest adds unexpected urgency to the journey. When they hear a man and woman arguing on the fog-shrouded riverbank and decide to warn them about the fire, their search for the pair turns up nothing and no one. But: The next day a man appears on the river, paddling alone. Is this the man they heard? And, if he is, where is the woman? From this charged beginning, master storyteller Peter Heller unspools a headlong, heart-pounding story of desperate wilderness survival

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What Fantastic (and Janky) Things Do You Do With Leftover Packaging?
2·1 year agoI don’t have any pics, but I’ll link you this list of artists using recycled materials, and you’ll have a good time if you Google that phrase.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What Fantastic (and Janky) Things Do You Do With Leftover Packaging?
8·1 year agoI do shipping fulfillment for my brother’s business and at least 60% of the boxes I use are just reused from stuff getting mailed to us. I reuse all kind of stuff for packing material, especially xmas/birthday wrapping paper.
Colorful paper packaging can be good for collage art.
Aw c’mon, you wouldn’t download a shitposter would you?
Pshh. Name one.
I’m currently reading The Immune Mind by Dr Marty Lyman. It discusses how the immune system and nervous system work in concert to keep us healthy.

I just keep a numbered list on the Notion app and Google a random number generator. When I add new books to the list, I put them at the top so it keeps the titles rotating.


That sure looks like a boopable snoot.
