<p>Found this the other day - a website that takes a shelf from Goodreads and turns it into a digital bookshelf using images of book spines.</p><p>I found this quite cool as a way to display books I’ve read that might be a mix of digital and physical.</p><p>When I first tried it, it was missing quite a few of the book spines. However you can submit your own by finding the spines online and giving the dimensions. At this point I’ve submitted the majority of my missing ones - the website provides fake covers if you like.</p><p>If you give it a go, the shelf name is case sensitive so be careful with that. And the book dimensions are in inches if you decide to submit any.</p> <small class="notice" x-post-type-data="None"> Takahe has limited support for this type: <a href="https://pawb.social/post/30951837">See Original Page</a> </small>

<p>My sister asked for a small go bag that would fit a single book with room for the typical things (cards, phone, mints). I’ve browsed some options(including bags that incorporate a book strap) but wanted to check what other people who carry books around typically prefer before committing to something.</p> <small class="notice" x-post-type-data="None"> Takahe has limited support for this type: <a href="https://slrpnk.net/post/27231133">See Original Page</a> </small>

<p>From the dawn of civilization to the modern globalized world, humans have built their societies on the backs, hides, and lives of animals. In An Animal’s History of Humanity, Chris Jeffries traces the often-overlooked story of animal exploitation through time, revealing how the fate of nonhuman creatures has been intimately intertwined with human progress, power, and profit.</p><p>From prehistoric kinship turned conquest, to the rise of agriculture, the weight of beasts in medieval life, and the mechanized horrors of the Industrial Revolution, Jeffries paints a sweeping narrative of domination and cruelty. He examines colonial plunder, the paradoxes of Renaissance thought, and the industrial-scale suffering that continues into the present day, ultimately asking what the future holds for the voiceless members of our world.</p><p>Deeply researched yet accessible, this book challenges readers to confront the ethical cost of human civilization, offering a provocative reflection on morality, progress, and the shape of exploitation yet to come. An Animal’s History of Humanity is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the hidden history of our species through the lives of those who suffered for our sake.</p> <small class="notice" x-post-type-data="None"> Takahe has limited support for this type: <a href="https://lemmy.world/post/35634088">See Original Page</a> </small>
