a book rating app not owned by amazon

This might be old news to some but if you're someone who likes to track their reading I highly recommend Storygraph. They provide you with much more interesting data about your reading habits (graphs!) are Black woman founded and run, not affiliated at all with amazon like Goodreads is, and have a more interactive rating system that gives better insight than just stars. What's even better is they have a way to import your goodreads data if you already feel invested in that app. Divest from amazon and delete ur goodreads!! :) :)

the Michael Hobbes podcast universe -Maintenance Phase: everything all the idiots in the world say about weight or weight loss or health, deconstructed to the realities of science #methodologyqueen -If Books Could Kill: every book the most annoying person in your life has recommended, torn apart brutally and exactly #methodologyqueen extended MH universe -5-4: the supreme court sucks, let’s talk about it and giggle -In Bed With The Right: great convos on feminism and sexuality theory and how they’re being used by the far right, as well as digging into historical philosophical context cyber true crime -Darknet Diaries: interviews about wild cyber crime stories, very deep dives -Hacked: more playful latest cyber news, easy entry point and entertaining -ReplyAll: not just cyber crime, just everything internet. a hall of famer in the world of podcasts, has since died but if you haven’t listened i‘m jealous that you still get to experience it for the first time goss -Normal Gossip: i’m obsessed with other people’s gossip esp when I don’t know a soul involved. this is the most perfectly produced way to do it, i’m gasping from shock and awe anytime this is on -Petty Crimes: because Normal Gossip is so well produced and they have gorgeous boundaries, there aren’t nearly enough episodes. this is a more coastal elite millennial take on other people’s gossip and very silly -Heavyweight: another gimlet studios creation that might be dead? it’s like Serial but for the most mundane personal stories that makes me cry nearly every episode wildcard -I Will Teach You To Be Rich: insane branding but stay with me, you get to listen to real couples talk about their actual finances. Ramit is surprisingly intersectional in how he views people’s attitudes about money, you wouldn’t get the vibe from his general demeanor but it’s frequently nuanced takes. his book that the podcast is named for is a tough read bc he has a very brash “guy with a podcast and internet course for sell” vibe to him but he is genuinely the only ‘financial advice guru’ that I trust and listening to his more recent episodes you can tell he has a firm understanding of societal factors that lead to financial hardship. whenever i’m up to date on this one I can feel myself making smarter money decisions (sorry long description I do feel like he requires a lot of prefacing lol)

hivemind

Delusion-Desire-Desperation Triad cycle where, unlike the moon, you just decide when the next phase starts. Official Hivemind Cult is currently set to Desire for the entire month of April. Feel free to check out the religious text for more details 🫶 The Hivemind is loosely agnostic, with a central being more than a God, although I won’t complain if you call me God, and draws from Buddhist/Dionysian/Absurdist schools of thought.
