“The ideas of directing attention outward, trying to imagine other people complexly, trying not to see myself as the center of the universe — these concepts have become important to me, and I hope they're at work in my life on a minute-by-minute basis.”
— John Green

“Just a word of advice. Whenever you’re furious with your parents or you think they’re terrible, just remember, you vomited on them and they kept you.”

#JohnGreen #quotes #quote #dftba #NerdFighteria #bot

“There’s not a lot of room for un-ironic emotion in contemporary culture. I think that irony is an important tool in dealing with the world as we find it. It’s a tool of protection, but it can also be a tool of incision to get to some truth. But along the way maybe we’ve lost some of what I think of as the power of straightforward emotion and earnestness and seriousness.”
— John Green

“One of the strange things about adulthood is that you are your current self, but you are also all the selves you used to be, the ones you grew out of but can't ever quite get rid of.”
— John Green, The Anthropocene Reviewed

En ja, in het pakketje zat het nieuwste (non-fictie) boek van John Green.

En volgens het sharpie-signeeroverzicht zit ik in "Purple" (van de 100.000 gesigneerde boeken zit deze in de groep tussen de 40.000 en 50.000 gesigneerde edities). Erg grappig hoe John Green zoveel mogelijk probeert te signeren zodat dit geen speciale boeken tegen dure prijzen meer zijn. Ik geloof zelfs dat een ongesigneerde editie nu duurder is

Straks pakket ophalen bij de DHL-winkel.

Ik kreeg afgelopen week onverwacht bericht dat er een pakket door 'amazon' aan mij was verstuurd, maar ik had helemaal geen bestellingen lopen, dus ik was achterdochtig. Pakket laten bezorgen bij de DHL-winkel, want dacht ik: dan kan ik het daar altijd weigeren, of zo.

Gisterochtend opeens lumineuze idee: o ja, ik had vorig jaar ergens een gesigneerd exemplaar van een nog-te-publiceren boek besteld .... en laat dat boek nu vorige week uitgekomen zijn.

Handig
Dus zo op de fiets pakketje halen.

En dan lezen over tuberculose.

Everything Is Tuberculosis - Wikipedia

Still waiting for my physical copy, but already listening to the audiobook! Really eye-opening and so far… heartbreaking to think about how these cuts will impact so many lives. Appreciate the deep dive into this critical issue @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social #dftba everythingistb.com
