My Piece of the Internet

Challenge:

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

I'm trying to finish this before the end of Three Weeks for Dreamwidth so we're going for 5 books a day for four days.

Books eleven through fifteen:

Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post about the Sunshine Challenge. I got a lot of positive feedback so I decided to go forward with a revival of the concept.

I created sunshine_revival since the old community is not open for posting and the mod is inactive. I hope we can spread the word far and wide enough to get a good turnout. If you're interested in modding, but sure to request membership at sunshine_revival_mods and I'll get you in!

Read more and follow the new community!

I believe the mod of sunshine_challenge is inactive. It looks like the comm hasn't updated since 2023. Does anyone know if the challenge is still hosted elsewhere? Or, if not, would people be interested in a reboot? I loved modding the Snowflake Challenge so much, I'd consider picking up the Sunshine Challenge too!

It's here and I'm pumped! I want to try and post... frequently? I would love to post every day but realistically I probably can't keep up a schedule like that.

Today, since I'm a little late getting started, I'm going to kick off by briefly answering one of the questions from ysabetwordsmith's 2024 list of questions:

If you could have the attention of the world for one minute, what would you say?

Having the attention of the world for one minute is an interesting concept. I guess it means that people will listen to what you're saying for one minute, but it doesn't mean they will care or internalize it or even remember it after you've had your time. There are plenty of things I have paid attention to but disagreed with or disregarded. So I think the best strategy would be to use my one minute to pique enough interest that some subset of people might be willing to pay attention to me on a long-term basis. I'd probably say something like:

"Why are you spending your time on bullshit that doesn't matter to you? Time is your only finite resource. You can theoretically acquire anything else that exists on earth, but neither you nor anyone else can ever buy or make additional years of lifespan. When you realize that your time is precious you begin to find ways to steal it back from the systems that try to own you and your time. Less working, more living. Fewer obligations, more community."
