    I have seen some readers bounce off the worst content attributing it to Dinniman, where I see it as illustrating various awful characteristics of the conquering culture and evil characters.

    I'm 40% into the Stand by Stephen King and I'm enjoying it.

    I'm rereading the Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane for Tildes Book Club this month.

    I'm rereading The Offing by Ben Myers It has some of the best nature writing I've ever read. It features an unexpected friendship that grows between a young man and an older woman who hires him to do odd jobs. She is smart and sardonic and thoughtful and becomes a great mentor.

    I finished Brigands and Breadknives which is a fun adventure.

    I finished In the Midst of Winter by Isabel Allende Three people from different countries in latin america get caught together by a new york snowstorm and share life histories. They later have an adventure in upstate New York. But the timelines are all mixed up.

    I'm a woman and I've long been married. However I want to make one comment.

    I have a firmly held belief that the modern dating apps lead to a lot more filtering based on looks. Men (and women) are being rejected before the potential partner has a chance to see them be funny or kind or notice that they smell good to them. (pheromones). Back in the day, people would meet in person at dance clubs or churches or other venues. Also social networks played a big role in who got introduced.

    I read it a few years ago and I haven't fully dived back in this month yet. I remember it becomes a lot less tragic and more interesting, but I'll get back to you after verifying that.

    I'm not sure that rolling back the regulations that prevent buildings full of single room occupancy units or actual boarding houses equates to trickle down economics. One reason behind homelessness is lack of small scale cheap housing compatible with earning minimum wage.

    I'm sorry I suggested a book you found so disturbing. I feel really bad about it. : (

    If you tell me how to use spoiler tags, I can tell you more, or I can send you a message. This disturbing content advances the plot in a way that allows for a major theme that otherwise would be difficult to work into the story.

    I hope you love it. I haven't decided whether to travel half an hour to make the experiment but I thought it was an interesting article about a very fun achievement.

    It's also politically and diplomatically counter productive. RC leadership might not be personally virtuous or brave (or they might be) but the history they claim to represent includes public martyrdom leading slowly to success.

    The Trump administration is tone deaf.

    I also think it's ironic. Harris was slammed for skipping a traditional campaign event with RC bishops because her campaign season was so short/her schedule was so tight. Trump attended, but now his spokesperson says this which is guaranteed to alienate catholics at all levels. PR is not their priority anymore.
