THe Vanished Birds by simon jimenez

Sci-Fi book I picked up on a whim at the library nearly 2 years ago that I still think about at least weekly! A blurb on the back said it was "the best of what science fiction should be" and I was like "wow, that's bold" but it was true! It's on par with This Is How You Lose The Time War, but longer and more traditionally narrated (but still interesting!)

this is one of tHE most captivating & compelling pieces of storytelling i've ever seen. it's multimedia speculative fiction about a distant future. it stars sapient space probes and an immortal and infertile human race, and explores their quest for fun to fill eternity. it's devastating and hopeful and i think it's maybe my favourite thing i've ever read, in both content and in form.

watching the rain

Pouring down rain and thunder and lightning passing though. I've missed you most of June, and I'm glad you are back.

I like making eye contact

When I was young, I generally avoided eye contact with people, but working in a research library broke me of this habit (you can't help people at an information desk unless you look at them for clues about their needs). I usually make eye contact now just to find that person in the people sea that is not staring at their phone. I try not to be a creeper though. Just an acknowledgement that we are both taking a break from the screenlords and their algorithms for that moment.

Short work weeks

Two days on, five days off. I heard this was the best work system.
