Are you ACE? ARO? Are you tired and sick to death of the same old tropes about ACE/ARO folks being cold, aloof, stuffy tea sipping snobs who delight in tearing down their friends relationships? Or, worse, are “faking it” for nefarious purposes? Click on “comments” for all the rest. 1/6

In the reference section of my Alma Mater working on a project for my Masters which I‘m getting at an entirely different university. But it‘s 5 hours from me and my Alma Mater is only 30 minutes. :D

1. Pachinko. Because it gave me the most to think on and consider about my own pre-conceived notions and biases. It also got into the racism in Japan that is mostly ignored by the West.

2. Not wholly DNFed yet, but I haven‘t torn through Children of Anguish and Anarchy the way I did the first books of the Legacy of Orïsha trilogy. The chapters are so short and all a different POV. I feel thrashed around as a result.

My son and I finished this yesterday. It was a nice little book of poems that introduces kids to many queer people and their contributions as well as the ideas of found family, loving the othered, and standing up against all bigotry. My son is autistic and he appreciated all the love for people represented in the book.

1. No, yesterday. 😊
2. Provocative

My next Toastmasters speech will be based on one of the many themes on humanity found in my favorite book, #frankenstein

Late to the game because Monday is busy.

1) Good-ish. Landed on a direction for my next Toastmasters speech, so that‘s always a mental load off. Got my taxes finished. I was unemployed almost the whole year so it didn‘t take long.

2) I think positive affirmations are good for people. In the US, at least, the culture seems to be so focused on the negative and tearing people down for anything they do. Positive affirmations can help buoy us.

Watched an interview with the author this morning so I‘ve added this to my reading list. I did read the negative and positive reviews. I agree with one of the negative views that the author went to great lengths to discuss the misuse of language and its negative impact only to repeatedly use the word “tribe” in place of community. I noticed it in the interview which is why I read the reviews first. Looks good otherwise. #toread #autism #asd

Reading to the kids with some YouTube reading ambience.#hyggehourreadathon (couldn‘t quite hold them for an hour though, 😆)

A fitting end to a great trilogy. A bit heavy handed at moments, as if the author felt some readers might be too dense to get the message. Of course, considering the world these days, that might be a necessary sentiment. All in all, it did not devolve into a desperate tying up of loose ends that too many final books do, just a few moments to leave the reader realistically stunned. #review #thelibrarytrilogy

Won this in a contest. It was a hard read, but not for the way it was written. It‘s about a witch trial in medieval Europe and, unlike my usual fantasy fare, I cannot split my mind and read it dispassionately. This stuff really happened. Anyway, I highly recommend it. Especially if you like creative prose. Sangarcía‘s method really adds to the intensity of a story that we probably think we know well. Also timely, atc.
