Happy Diwali! Today is the Diwali holiday, which is the festival of lights celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and some Buddhists. This is a major holiday in India and is a time to wish each other great things in so many beautiful ways! Today we want to highlight some amazing accounts, bloggers, and people who are doing the great work of educating us on Diwali today. Go to instagram and check out @virtualdiwali, started by Aartee from @whatarewereading and Mona from @mommatribesunite. They have been celebrating the past 12 days with fun family activities and children’s stories that you and your family may want to try out today! One of our favorite posts from @virtualdiwali is their Day 3 showcase of Brinda Shah from @brindas.bookshelf. She is an aspiring children’s book author who works on bringing South Asian voices to light. Check out her page on instagram for more inspiration on South Asian representation and information on other fun traditional stories! Hope you all find great blessings and prosperity this year!

Hey besties, 

On this episode of "WTF are you thinking?", you will find Riley with a new copy of Hanya Yanagihara's harrowing novel, A Little Life, a new notebook for thoughts and rants and discussion questions, as well as a misguided belief that she can actually come out of reading this novel intact. You can laugh when the credits roll.

Right now, check out the newest episode of #RAMBLING where I basically talk about this beautyful idea Sam (@sam.herbst) gave me to break the parts of A Little Life and ramble about them on my little internet space (read: podcast). The link is in my bio. 

It is a huge undertaking what I hope to do with this book and this new platform. I hope you'll be tuned in to witness the trainwreck. It's about to go down. 

x, Nkesh
