I really want to talk about the difference between these two areas here in Atlanta in terms of human-scale livability and urbanism vs traditional planning.
But I’m too tired from work to do that now, so tomorrow.
A Tale Of Two Counties is what I’m calling it in my head right now. Coming tomorrow or Sunday.

Want to read: Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler 📚
Intrigued by how so many authors kinda predicted our current predicament uncannily. From The Washington Post via Apple News this morning:
A 1993 dystopian novel imagined the world in 2024. It’s eerily accurate. Octavia Butler’s ‘Parable of the Sower’ predicted devastating climate change, inequality, space travel and ‘Make America great again’
Curious to know for the micro.blog faithful— is it possible to have Wordpress pick up something blogged on micro.blog?
I know i could try importing the RSS but I occasionally go the other way and export from Wordpress into here as well so I’m looking for ways to avoid “reblog loops”
…will never not be the song I kick ass in when I want to shut everyone up in a karaoke setting. カラオケなら俺の一番最高セレクション。最近を聞くと新宿にあるのいつも来店に行ったバーの暖かいメモリーを出す。それと帰り道の電車の多摩川を渡す大橋とガタンガッタン音も聞いてくる。

Me looking hella disheveled after getting a giant qtip up my snout. All I wanted was more powerful meds to dam up the waterfall in my sinuses.

- 🐺: achooooo!!! “I can’t stop sneezi—“ aaaaachoooo!!!
It’s 2024 and I haven’t added any books to read to my virtual shelf yet. So please give me some suggestions!
I’m open to:
- sci-fi, especially space opera.
- spy thrillers
- fiction involving recent history
- futurism
- urbanism
- anything funny and witty.
🙏🏾 please and thank you!

Finished reading: A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami 📚
…this was my first Murakami book and one of the first novels that I read cover-to-cover in its original Japanese back when I was still learning. I should also say I read the other books too (Pinball, Norwegian Wood) but those were the translated English ones…

Christmas hits my mom’s living room, 2023 edition
I really love how my mother spontaneously gets into the holiday spirit without fail every year and turns into a red, green, and garland decorating tornado. Instead of civil defense sirens warning you to take cover, you’ll hear Nat King Cole’s rendition of The Christmas Song. 🎄
Never work on anything while drowsy. I just spent 20 minutes making a sweet post about a new development where a tired 40 year old strip mall that’s ³/₄ parking lot is getting turned into a 200 acre dense sustainable affordable housing, parks and commercial development…
Nodded off, and deleted the damn post because my finger was resting on the Cancel button.
😩
Steely gray skies in Tucker, Ga this afternoon while getting the last of the Christmas holiday shopping done.
