Rabbit Hole | David Lindsay-Abaire

#Tuesdaytunes (on Wednesday)
@TieDyeDude I still haven't streamed that Philly radio show that you mentioned a few weeks back, but it led to a revelation tonight. I was listening to a favorite artist of mine that I've posted about before - Stas Thee Boss and remembered she is a radio dj on a west coast public radio station, KEXP. But for some reason, it never occurred to me to try to stream her show...until tonight. And it's great! 👇

Billypar https://www.kexp.org/shows/Street-Sounds/ I'm listening to it now - it's on every Saturday night, but they have the last two episodes available. It's a great mix of old and new hip hop, classic and avant garde. Great for finding new artists, and Stas has already introduced me to so much hip hop and soul through a series of playlists she posts on Spotify called Late Night Sauce: https://open.spotify.com/user/1274906161?si=pz_VNCgZQS2FbMMMkcEKpQ 1w
Billypar And while we're on the topic of music discovery, this week I found out that another British hip hop artist I follow Lex Amor (who I came across via a different hip hop radio-style program on Bandcamp, lol) has a 35 hour (!) playlist on her Spotify page called AMOR that seems amazing. It's more chill and has a blend of hip hop, r&b, and soul. She's also a DJ, but maybe that goes without saying 🎧🎙 1w
TieDyeDude Oh my, so much to listen to! That's awesome. I've been in the mood for some R&B/soul. Thanks. 1w
Billypar @TieDyeDude Both of those artist-created playlists have a great variety of R&B and soul, old and new - hope you enjoy! 1w

“It was amazing, Ira often said, how people fooled themselves into believing what they wanted to.”
This one made me laugh and cry. A story about family and love that persists despite imperfections.

CarolynM ❤️ Still my favourite Anne Tyler 4mo
Kristin_Reads @CarolynM It‘s great! Can‘t wait to read more Tyler books. 4mo

The mere fact that her children were children, condemned for years to feel powerless and bewildered and confined, filled her with such pity that to add any further hardship to their lives seemed unthinkable. She could excuse anything in them, forgive them everything. She would have made a better mother, perhaps, if she hadn't remembered so well how it felt to be a child.

Rabbit Hole | David Lindsay-Abaire

I've recently fallen down the rabbit hole of social media. I was spending too much time online and not enough time on my reading. However, today is a new start. I've deleted the apps that were distracting me, and I might still have time to salvage August.

Suet624 I understand how easy it is to get sucked back into social media. It‘s a creepy drug. Good for you for regrouping! 8mo
Susanita It helped that the new X app is so ugly and easy to delete. 8mo
Ruthiella Well done! 👏👏👏 8mo

AllDebooks It's good to have a balance but I do find SM incredibly annoying lately. It can be a place of such unpleasant unkindness and vitriol. This is the only place I'm comfortable with and enjoy. 8mo
dabbe Good for you! 💙🖤🩵 8mo
Cuilin You‘re not alone. 🩵 8mo
Bookwomble I was having a similar issue with FB, uninstalled it, and felt an almost immediate improvement in my sense of well-being. I had reason to access my account recently, and knew straightaway I'd made the right decision! Uninstalled again once I'd done what I needed. Wishing you good mental health 💖 8mo

Demon Copperhead: A Novel | Barbara Kingsolver

Finally bit the bullet and started this one after moving it down my pile in favor of several others several times. It‘s a little slow-going for me, but enough people whose opinions I trust have recommended it that I‘m going to stick with it for now. (I‘ve never read David Copperfield, though, so maybe that‘s why I‘m not AS invested? 🤷🏻‍♀️) #demoncopperhead #barbarakingsolver #pulitzerwinner #bookhype

This wide-reaching and thoroughly researched book tells the story of George Perry Floyd, from life through death and beyond, as well as that of his family within the context of the world around them. It‘s superb. It‘s also quite frank, explicitly detailing his murder. It may be too soon for some, but it‘s an excellent piece of reportage for now and for posterity.
