Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. it's told by a robot who's bought as a companion for a sick girl. sounds cold. it isn't. quiet book. nothing explodes. but Klara looks at humans so carefully and so kindly that you start seeing yourself a bit through her eyes, and it's not always comfortable. finished it at 1am and just sat there for a while.

finally read Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and I get the hype now. a guy wakes up alone on a spaceship. no memory of who he is or why he's there. that's all I'll say, going in blind is half the fun. it's basically The Martian again: science problems solved with duct tape logic and bad jokes. but this one has way more heart. there's a friendship in it that got me way more than I expected from a sci-fi book. the science gets a bit much in places, I skimmed a page or two. didn't matter. 9/10. read it before the movie ruins it for you.
Barcelona has spoiled my week... Unbelievable
Big shop update incoming 🎁
Quick note first: the shop is currently only open to early access members. If you haven't seen it yet, that's why 🙂
We've been working on the shop and on gifting, and it's almost ready. Here's what's coming. Early access members get it first, everyone else soon after.

What tellmelo does differently
You set the algorithm. And see what it leaves out.
Sliders decide what’s at the top.
No ads. No data sales.
Your data isn’t used for advertising and isn’t sold.
No banner. There is nothing to consent to.
No tracking, no ad identifiers.
Counters off. Nothing that pulls you back.
Quiet mode hides reaction counts. Sounds only play if you turn them on.
