the #KurtVonnegut library in #Indianapolis will hook you up with physical copies of his stuff I believe. They used to anyway and I donated to the effort!
*Hmmm I don't see the link anymore....

I was fortunate enough to find #GlennGould's Music From #KurtVonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five in a used records bin in the 90s. It is still one my favorite soundtracks. Gould plays #piano on every track except one. It has been forever since I have seen the movie, or read the book for that matter. It was a stroke of brilliance to have a #JSBach soundtrack with this film.

“Can I tell you the truth? I mean this isn’t the TV news is it?

Here's what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in a state of denial. And like too many addicts about to face cold turkey, our leaders are now committing violent crimes to get what little is left of what we're hooked on.”

― Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

“Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them — so the reader may see what they're made of.” #KurtVonnegut

I love #KurtVonnegut so much I even created a #GoodReads account to highlight quotes. Let’s be friends there: Check out my profile on Goodreads!

I have difficulty keeping any editions of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. books in stock, but have recently acquired two collections, including these '70s Dells. If you're looking, now's the time to stop in!

7/28/23 Open 6-10p. No open containers please.

“In my opinion, the thing most well-fed people want above all else from their Government is, figuratively speaking, the right to shoot craps with loaded dice. They wouldn’t get that until Ronald Reagan.”

— #kurtvonnegut Jr., Fates Worse Than Death

(In a parenthesized aside. Obviously, he sweeps aside quite a bit of history to bring home a very valid point that needed making.)

#KurtVonnegut described a somewhat similar idea with the Tralfmadorians in #slaughterhousefive which is why it's one of my all-time favorite books. #physics #bookstodon

"The most important message of a crucifix, to me anyway, was how unspeakably cruel supposedly sane human beings can be when under orders from a superior authority."

Kudos to…“The Indiana-based #KurtVonnegut Museum & Library”…

Who…”criticized #MomsForLiberty in an open letter & said it would be providing free copies of Slaughterhouse-5 to interested #students in Brevard.

“#MFL in Brevard has challenged 41 #books in school #libraries including Slaughterhouse-5 & The Kite Runner .”

Figured I should probably do an intro post here in an attempt to make some friends and perhaps make the fediverse a bit more active! My name is Jackson, and I’m a writer, but there’s so much I’m interested in. So I think the best way to share this may be to add some tags of things I love. #art #environmental #writing #StardewValley #hermitcraft #socialism #Space #kurtvonnegut #intro #introduction

I'm trying to get back into listening to books while I clean the kitchen at night. I always gravitate towards watching YouTube videos and it's hard to pull myself away from doing so, even when there's nothing in my subscriptions that interests me.
Anyway, I'm currently enjoying Mother Night by #KurtVonnegut which I started back in December. It's the 6th book of his that I've listened to in the last couple of years.

Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.
