I'm still here on occasion, but I'm going to try to walk the walk, so to say, and put my effort into better spaces.

Early birthday present from Minerva. Not every 4-year-old loves #JetLagTheGame, but not every 4-year-old is as cool as my kid.

So… how close is this game going to be?

[Amanda Gray Perry @TheAmandaGray]

So it might be more than 14 years after the fact, but we finally got this poster and signed set list framed from the @okgo show at @NotreDame. (One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to!)

The #GoldenGlobes are the hottest mess, goodness I love this show.

@alexwritings You get the gold star for “book that made me cry with the first chapter” - I’ve recommended it to lots of folks! Thank you for writing it!

Down to the wire, but I finished 100 books this year! Here is my annual top 10 list, plus a stack of honorable mentions.
🧵

1. Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Pérez - I don’t say this lightly: I would give this book 20 stars if I could. It was incredibly well researched, approachable, and filled me with righteous indignation at every page turn.

[Amanda Gray Perry @TheAmandaGray]

9. I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman - I loved this - as much a philosophy thinkpiece as a novel, this is going to be kicking around in my brain for a long time. I liken it to A Short Stay In Hell by Steven Peck. What is humanity in isolation?

[Amanda Gray Perry @TheAmandaGray]

2. How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them by Jason F. Stanley - One of the most important books I’ve read all year. Published in 2018, but even more timely today. If we don’t learn from our history, we are doomed to repeat it.
