I am so happy you read that piece. I love what that writer did with it. And thank you so much for saying this — it really means so much to me to have you take note of the things I’m trying to do here with this piece. Welcome to Substack! It’s going to be an amazing journey and I’m so happy I’ll be a comrade of yours during it.

This is quite interesting, Tulipe. Other than the list itself, I really like the prompts - before reading, post and for self reflection.

Making reading intentional and taking something from it- is most important to avoid mindless consumption.

Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing it. 🫶

Meera, that means so much to me! I really love that you took note of that. I really wanted the focus to be on the wholesome reading experience - not just reading and forgetting but absorbing. I really appreciate you x

Yet another great list of readings for the weekend!

Thank you :)

As for the one on the declining birth rate. I genuinely believe the main reasons behind it are not uncertainties, climate change, or economic instability, but the overall decay of our moral grounds.

Maria!!!! You’re my favorite. And yes, I couldn’t agree more. Without a moral imagination, are we even humans?

I’ve finally started sharing chapters from my new sci-fi novel, The Time Raider — a story about a man the future tries to erase…and the past refuses to let go.

Daniel Harker is sentenced by the Authority’s Temporal Exodus Program, a system that disposes of people by exiling them into history. But when he’s thrown into the chaos of WWII Normandy, he refuses to disappear. Wearing a fallen paratrooper’s uniform, Daniel fights to survive — and accidentally becomes something the Authority never expected.
