Experimental bot which will post a section from a Project Gutenberg book which mentions the current date.
“The current date” of course may not quite match your date, because timezones.
Why? I love randomness and this will surface all kinds of different old books you never knew existed.
How? Just download all of Project Gutenberg and grep. You know how to grep, don't you?

#UAlberta PhD candidate exploring the politics of childhood and education and the temporality of childhood.
I write about how childhood is mobilized in political discourses and how that obscures the lives and needs of children. I am interested in how childhood is used as a signifier by social movements and in law and policy discourses.
My dissertation explores how childhood is used in neoliberal education law and policy discourses in Alberta post-Inspiring Education (2008-2023).

I mostly post drawings & photography by me (he/him). Regular sharing is part of how my creative projects go. About which, see pinned posts.
I boost creative work on here, mostly photography, art & poetry. Plus content I want to see circulating here. Stuff about Detroit, rust belt cities, other cities, landscapes, dinosaurs, neurodiversity, COVID news & safety. I'm interested in abolitionist politics & Marxism. And movies.
Happy to interact on here but I'm often slow about it
