Utopia del Software Libero
Dal bricolage informatico alla reinvenzione sociale
Nato negli anni 80 dalla rivolta degli hacker contro la privatizzazione del codice informatico, il movimento del Software Libero, non sembrava destinato a rinnovare limmaginario politico. I suoi valori e le sue pratiche si sono tuttavia estesi ad altri campi, elaborando gradualmente una vera e propria utopia concreta. Eppure il Software Libero solleva anche molti interrogativi per le sue relazioni con leconomia di Internet, per lentusiasmo tecnofilo o per le ambiguit politiche. Sbastien Broca li evidenzia, raccontando una storia in cui gli hacker ispirano il pensiero critico e gli imprenditori open source si confrontano con i sostenitori dei beni comuni.

Started reading the book The Entrepreneurial State about how most of is not funded by private investors but by the state.
I'm re-reading the Anna Travis series of books by Lynda Le Plante. I like most of those. I do think that is the best series she wrote.
I'm reading "You Will Find Your People: How to Make Meaningful Friendships as an Adult", by Lane Moore, and I teared up at the chapter "Yes, Animals Can Be Your (Best) Friends". Stories about animals changing people's lives tend to give me all the feels.
Thank you, for this beautiful gift of a review

I A Deal With The Devil by Elizabeth ORoark. This is an enemies-to-lovers , which is not my favorite trope. But I do admire the authors determination to realistically portray the difficult choices families have to make.

Hatch would like me to quit reading and Do Something Interesting (but he's now settled for moping on my feet)
I got the book from which is my new favourite bookstore. I'm reading "To Shape A Dragon's Breath." This is a "magic school with dragons" but the protagonist is indigenous and she's stuck with the culture shock of going to the only available dragon school with a bunch of people who think she's uncivilized and... Look, the culture shock is a pretty common theme in young adult fantasy but hers feels deeply real to me in ways that I'm not sure I could explain. It's hooking into some part of hindbrain from my own cultural adaptation to the US and the small moments of "Oh your English is so good" (thanks, it's my native language) from my experience as an off-white teenager. But more than that, the author is a genius of using language and stories and myths shared among people and cultures. I'm only halfway through and I *need* there to be more in this series so you should all go buy a copy or request it at your library.
Which is all to say that poor Hatch might have to wait until I get hungry before I get up

My last item on special today is the paperback edition of my collection, Unlikely Muses. This collection ranges from drama to humor, from fantasy to sci-fi, from the past to the (possibly) distant future, with introductions along the way to the unlikely muses who inspired the stories.

Family Album
A first thought for this week's motto was the photo album that probably every family has in one of their bookshelves. Memories of important events, everyday life, funny or sad things were recorded, sometimes supplemented by a few words. Often we took it from the shelf, leafed through it, and recalled these days that we didn't want to forget.

Today's queer indie author review! Reading It Wrong by A.L. Lester:
"Darcy and the shy, cute Paul are so made for each other... I highly recommend Reading It Wrong - it's a quick, fun read with a little mystery, silly crooks and very likable characters."
