All it takes is for people to remain silent when those who dare speak out are silenced.
First, they might lose their jobs for speech. Later, they are imprisoned for their speech. Soon enough, the price of speech rises to the ultimate cost: oneโs life.
But itโs not always easy to recognize that moment of no return when youโre living in it. Are you overreacting or just seeing things clearly?

Do you track your reading habits? "Like the things we eat or the ways we move our bodies, the books we consume get talked about as yet another avenue for self-improvement," writes Tajja Isen for The Walrus. Here's her story about the problem with reading lists, and a way to make them useful and even lead to more enjoyment. Tell us in the comments what you think โ and if you track, why.

We turn to knots to find luck, profess undying love, symbolize marriage, and make epic art. If all else fails, we can resort to witchery. Kanya Kanchana invites us down the rabbit hole with six stories on our fascination with knots.
Iโve started the year off with two parallel reads: Homerโs โThe Odysseyโ and Virgilโs โThe Aeneid.โ Embracing technology, Iโm reading both on a digital platform.
If a trend emerges, I hope itโs an effort to blend old with new. The fusion could help me appreciate the wisdom and beauty of the past while embracing future opportunities, which should enrich the present. What does the new year hold for you?

"The colors we see change based on evolution, our genes, our age, our brains, our eyes, the nature and wavelength of light, the seasons, the languages we speak, the cultures we are born into and raised in, the proximity of other colors, the way we observe, and even the high-stakes decisions of the color industry." In our latest reading list, Kanya Kanchana dives deep into our love of color.
This is one of the best 'best of' lists of science fiction books I've seen. It does a pretty good job of balancing more recent books with older 'classics', and makes some good guesses as to which contemporary books will stand the test of time. While everyone will find a favorite author or two missing from Esquire's list (Ken Macleod and Joanna Russ for me), pretty much everything on the list is worth reading.

Found this way deep in my YouTube "Watch Later" collection. It's a really nice guide to getting started with Charles Dickens including a recommended order for select books from Robert Douglas-Fairhurst. It is inspiring to see someone so passionate about their subject.

Might add these to my 2024 Reading List!

โWho is that man?โ asked Bossuet.
โA man,โ replied Combeferre, โwho saves others.โ
Marius added in a grave voice: โI know him.โ
This assurance was enough for everyone. Enjolras turned toward Jean Valjean.
โCitizen, welcome.โ
And he added: โYou know we are going to die.โ
Jean Valjean, without answering, helped the insurgent he had saved get into his uniform.

Delving into reading list policies. Is there any research on how implementing a policy has led to change, improvements or impact? #ReadingLists
I love the look of a grid of book covers โจ Last years reading was a little irregular for my usual tastes because I was looking for a comp for a sci-fi manuscript and a contemporary fantasy manuscript. The search let me discover some awesome titles I wouldnโt have run into otherwise!

I was getting to ready to read The Poverty of Philosophy but realized I have not read The Philosophy of Poverty. Which got me thinking I need to read a lot more anarchist writings and theory. So I'm going to go ahead and ask for any reading recommendations of the anarchist persuasion. Thanks! #Goldbricking #Anarchy #Anarchism #Theory #ReadingLists #ReadingSuggestion
Great list! Read several of the fiction titles in this list #endofyear #readinglists
