Books · @Jason’s Microblog!

I learned something very beautiful
today, In French, “bibliothèque
intérieure” means your “inner library”
the invisible shelf you carry inside,
filled with every story that’s ever
shaped you.

All the books you’ve loved, the
heartbreaks you’ve survived, the
random quotes that stuck, the
memories that built you. They all live
there. Quietly reminding you of who
you are and how far you’ve come.

Abolition is both destruction and reconstruction; in abolishing work, you become able to create it anew. For too long, “work” has been synonymous with waged work, with the work we long for an escape from. And everything else becomes the “life” that stands in opposition to work, as if work were somehow an equal to the life it sucks dry.

But what if work was all the change we make in the world, with all the people we make that change with—colleagues and comrades, neighbors and friends, kin in all the kingdoms. What if work wasn’t only what we do at work, but all the ways that work moves out into the world, and all the work we do elsewhere—whether in our homes or in our streets. What if our work is all the things we give a fuck about? What becomes possible then?

My best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in ur life and it can become a vice if you play your cards right
