Today, I finished my 99th book and will select my 100th. I’m still not even halfway round the world but 100 feels like a milestone. <br/><br/>At this rate, it might be another 5 years before I finish this challenge but I’ll certainly be older and wiser at the end. #books #Bookstodon 2026-09-08T14:34:47Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqspc0qm28f7hw035r98eutd054hxqkelcshfcd207cecjpmrkjyzwczyprh9var0upw4gwnunh8v0yr9h6rr9akxnjwq3ammutuz3vpaj9hkc36dy7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyz0rd79y40xhaggvxxp2g896ldnfs659qx6qhmjsq26tpdwykhjq7hnd49'>nevent1q…nd49</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Totally agree with you. I’m finding more and more teachers are using AI this way which troubles me. I feel that this really causes credibility issues with students.

It was such a breath of fresh air to read a book about people doing normal things and going through their lives while treating each other humanely. While reading, I keep encountering triggers which made me think something bad is about to happen but it never does. In the end, everyone is a decent person. Why is this so shocking to me?! Am I just so completely jaded? <br/><br/>#books #Bookstodon<br/> <img src="https://media.masto.nu/masto-nu-media/media_attachments/files/117/156/577/602/845/932/original/3db5c476408a2382.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-08-25T14:18:25Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0pku086qfn369um4t3zmyete6x3sc7sgd6cylm4zl4k7sttakeagzyprh9var0upw4gwnunh8v0yr9h6rr9akxnjwq3ammutuz3vpaj9hkslxae4 #MonochromeMonday #UrbanPhotography <br/>Hong Kong International Airport<br/> <img src="https://media.masto.nu/masto-nu-media/media_attachments/files/117/150/928/246/195/486/original/5706e3d005bb8c33.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-08-24T14:21:44Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsz2gt740s542njwfezuz727lv28rag0kz8qyqzw65n37nxkq0cvjszyprh9var0upw4gwnunh8v0yr9h6rr9akxnjwq3ammutuz3vpaj9hk3pshv0 Something for #ThrowbackThursday <br/><br/>I took this picture in Sydney the day after the Bondi shooting last Dec.

I’m new here. I’ve tried Mastodon a couple times but maybe third time’s the charm! I have become increasingly disillusioned by mainstream social media and I’m searching for ways to connect with other people outside of an algorithm. <br/><br/>I teach high school English and I read a lot. Currently at book 92 of a read around the world project. I was a teen in the 90s and still trying to keep my grunge phase alive. I love art and film too. <br/><br/>Hope to meet some likeminded people! <br/><br/> #introduction 2026-07-23T12:08:59Z
