I was a voracious reader for most of my life and it never occurred to me to read more than one at a time. was thinking of some other options earlier tonight for if’m into it this weekend and I finish the first story long before my husband. He has to work tomorrow and I do not. I have some options.
My husband and I have decided to start our own book club this weekend. We are nerds and both enjoy reading but he has limited time and I have limited patience with it because I had a stroke a few years ago and it’s not as easy as it used to be for me. We’re starting with short stories and we’ll just read one at a time ad discuss when we’re done. I’m hoping it will improve my skills over time and I know we’ll enjoy the extra bonding. We’re reading A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms by George R R Martin. He’s read all of the ASOIAF books and I’ve not read any of them. We’ve both watched both of the related TV shows.
There is a list of health related communities being pulled together at !health@lemmy.world. I know some people can’t go there right now but it’s a good resource for those who can.
I have to say that I have an account on Lemmy.world because I was there before I found out about Beehaw, and from what’ I’ve seen so far they strictly enforce Ruud’s rules of absolutely no rightwing bullshit. I volunteered to mod for the Reddit community and the rules I was told to focus on were: provide a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for everyone regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, political affiliation, or other similar characteristic.
I saw someone asking around yesterday about communities that wouldn’t ban them for being a bigot yesterday, and the posters told them to go to 4chan or google it themselves since it seemed they should be able to figure that out. They do have a community called Conservative, but it’s only got a few hundred people in it and the mods still have to follow the rules.
It’s not as curated as the content here, but it’s not the fee for all that Reddit was. I think that conservatives will have a pretty bad time over there.
