Trying to find a better way to track books I want to read than a random spreadsheet. I had used readinglog.info which was provided by my local public library until they shut down the program. Luckily, I regularly backed it up via their CSV export. I've used Library Thing for years, but adding books for "To Read" really screwed up a lot of the other features of the website, like recommendations, etc. I really love Free Software & the Fediverse particularly.

The first book I purchased from the fabulous AK Press (akpress.org) when I couldn't find a copy at any library in the state. This is the fictional tale of the wobbly way of life in the 1910s on their way to creating a new world inside the shell of the old.

Certainly another book by T Kingfisher
I really wanted to like this book. But it was so out there I couldn't even force myself to pick it up most days. Calling it pseudoscience would be giving it too much credit.

@hankg@bookwyrm.social ooo sounds interesting
In the 1920s, a biology teacher named John Scopes was arraigned in court for teaching evolution. ... He was teaching the evolution of the white man from his animal ancestors through five racial steps. He was teaching that the Negro was the lowest of the transitional species from apes or monkeys to man and if we were to marry Negroes, we would cause the race to slip back (devolve) towards its animal ancestry. That was the airy and conceited theory of the eugenic evolutionists of the time. Again and again this trial has been presented as the fight between the light of science and the darkness of religious superstition. It was racism against Christianity.

For it is a Norwegian God they do not believe in, so that's what we mean by even the atheists are Lutheran.
In fact, the Church was not as hard on Galileo as is commonly thought. The controversy rose and fell over the decades, Galileo growing ever more certain that the earth goes around the sun but having many other things to think about as well, while various ecclesiastical theologians and scientists argued about the case. .. The Church never taught as doctrine the geocentric cosmology everywhere assumed in the scripture, and had in fact reformed her calendar according to the findings of the heliocentric Copernicus. It was 70 years later under pressure, and in a highly political stew, that Catholics were forbidden to hold and defend heliocentricism, though they were allowed to teach it.
