Ivy Tara Blair: Unplugged - Quarantine Edition Ivy Tara Blair

Scenes from Ursula le Guin's classic novel, The Dispossessed. Her prose is unmatched in it's lyricism and beauty, and I can never get enough of it.

This is the first chapter of Neal Stephanson's Snow Crash - the Deliverator...oh my goodness this is one of my favorite pieces of writing ever. I laugh every time I read it :D

A reading of the short story 'Time Skip' by Charles de Lint. Ghosts? Time travel? Old photos? In this short story, de Lint makes urban fantasy both spooky and charming :)

A reading of a scene from Madeline L'Engle's 'A Wind in the Door' - Meg, Charles Wallace, & Calvin all meet...a new friend

The introduction to 'Faces of the Tsunami' by Bill McDaniel, in which an infant is saved after the Indonesia tsunami. CONTENT WARNING: this ep contains descriptions of respiratory distress and medical details. There is victory - but medical descriptions may be more than some want to hear. Take care of yourselves :)

from 'Lets Take the Long Way Home' - a book about deep platonic intimacy, this is a description of how they came to realize what was between them was beyond the usual definition of the word 'friendship.'
