Since the fall of Twitter I have struggled to find a place to share links and online articles that I find interesting. I am really enjoying Mastodon though (and think it’s worth checking out if you haven’t). But now I am finding links there that I’d love to share more broadly. So I am creating small ”link round up” posts on the blog. Hope this ongoing series or posts surface some interesting news & thoughts for you.

It’s been around for more than 200 years, but the current 2026 Farmers’ Almanac will be the last. As someone who loves print I am bummed to hear this and I’m not sure what more they could have done or what all they have tried to stay afloat. I see they’ve even has a premium subscriber tier as well. So they certainly tried things.

LitHub shared a post by murder mystery and true crime author Sarah Weinman on the importance of public libraries and the “most comprehensive, and most uncomfortable truths” that librarians make available to all.

I still haven’t seen the Broadway Books pilot being shopped around. Have any of you guys? Here is a link to the trailer and it’s been shown at a few festivals, but I can’t find it anywhere. Her is the synopsis: “In aggressively gentrifying Manhattan, a group of over-educated, under-employed bookstore workers struggle to keep their independent bookstore in business using increasingly desperate measures.” I remember the show Black Books which was fun (and very British) which took place in a bookshop as well. I’m hoping that Broadway Books is funny.
