Highlights from July we're reading Kellner's work on Marcuse, a work on Bezos and Amazon, and Richard Edwards Contested Terrain. Several works that had been in my queue for a long time. #storygraph #booksky
An intense month of focused reading including old friends (Baritz & Marx/Engels), several books that I should have read a long time ago (Whyte and Weber), plus a 26 book that fit right in the mix, Control Science by @henrysnow.bsky.social plus a 50s novel (Karp). June was great! #booksky #storygraph
Some real joys reading @davidharvey.org & @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social plus Andre Gorz this month. #booksky
Excited to get Crisis of the Common Good by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social today! #booksky
Excited to get a copy of Control Science: How Management Made the Modern Work by @henrysnow.bsky.social on @versobooks.bsky.social #booksky
Got caught up at the #siop2026 conference that I forgot to post April's reading. Excited to read Daniel Bell'# Work and It's.Discontents alongside Frederick Taylor's Shop Management. #booksky #storygraph
Family vote date in the Ohio Primary (early vote). Our daughter hasn't missed an election!
An intense month of reading dominated by Engels' Condition of the Working Class and Marx's German Ideology. First month in a long time without a single work of fiction #booksky #storygraph

"Dream by dream, teachers will keep showing up & standing up to equip the next generation of Americans." Reading Why Fascists Fear Teachers by @rweingarten.bsky.social makes me proud to be a teacher and proud to be a member of @aft.org (via @bgsu-fa.bsky.social and @ohaaup.bsky.social).
