Fortesa Latifi: Influencer Parents and Their Children Are Rethinking Growing Up On Social Media
I got a notification this morning that my application to join the Literal Librarian program was approved. Literal is one of numerous Goodreads alternatives that have launched in the past several years. I’ve been using it since May 2021 (in beta). I also use the Bookshelves feature in Micro.blog with the Epilogue app for iOS to track my reading. Micro.blog automatically posts to my Mastodon account, so I guess I use that too.
Started reading The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel 📚
Finished reading: The Emigrants by W. G. Sebald 📚
Nashville Tennessean: Ira and James from Yo La Tengo perform in drag to protest stupid new Tennessee law.
Listening to The Wizard Of Is, a remastered collection of demos, alternate versions, covers and more by Pearls Before Swine (Tom Rapp). 🎵
Started listening to Transmissions (the podcast) this week 🎙️.
Transmissions, narrated by Maxine Peake, tells the story of Joy Division and New Order through interviews, recordings and examines the influence of the music today. This audio documentary was released in 2020.
Thrilled to hear Peter Saville’s participation as one of the interviewees in this project. Saville talks about the design of the iconic Joy Division and New Order record sleeves he designed in the early 1980s.
Honestly, this book couldn’t have arrived sooner.
