I'm constantly reading, so favorites are kinda hard to nail down. I'd have to do it by category or something.

I just recently finished Liberal Fascisms by Slavoj Zizek. It's a collection of essays. He's an excellent writer and is always enjoyable.

I just started Fatal Purity: Robespierre and the French Revolution by Ruth Scurr. So far it seems pretty interesting.

    To be completely honest, I'm not too sure. I'm glad I made it out alive though.

    Clean from opiates for around 12years.

    Sober for 6.

    I have cirrhosis from drinking all day every day for over a decade, but my liver is working, and I'm alive. I also currently work in recovery and try to help others.

    Last spring (not this past spring, but last year) I came across a fledgling crow on the ground when I was walking my dog. It was on our normal dog walk route and I checked in on it daily, giving it space. After 3 days or so I gave it some water and did some reading about fledgling birds and all that. After it had been on the ground for a week I called an animal rescue and they came and checked on it and sure enough, it was injured so they took it.

    Just about every day the crows caw and click at me when we walk. I don't know if they recognize us and are scolding us or if they're just doing crow things. I hope they dont think too poorly of me, I was trying to help.

    I have a collection of Rosa Luxemburg writings on my bookshelf. I need to pick that up when I finish Trotsky's History of the Russian Revolution.

    Hey everyone, I'm relatively new to linux and was looking for some advice/direction. I have been using Mint Debian Edition for around 6mo or so, and want to learn to use the command line efficiently and proficiently.

    I have set up EndeavourOS on a backup laptop I have and have been playing with it, reading the Arch Wiki and such, but I feel like I'm not necessarily learning why I'm doing things, just doing what has worked for others.

    So here I am. I guess I'm looking for recommendations for books or articles (physical or online) that can help me to learn and understand the workings on linux, and especially the command line.

    Thank you all so much.
