Snow White bag #8 bed time for 5/7 dwarves, Snow White is reading Go the Fuck to Sleep by Adam Mansbach to them. This book is blowing my mind and illuminating some stuff I ignored irl. Facebook is the devil, as is Zuckerberg
pick#ItTakesAllKinds Day 31: Reviewed this #GraphicNovel memoir for my guest curation over this March at Global Literature in Libraries Initiative (GLLI). It has elucidated with such compassion and thoughtfulness what intersectionality means; the fluidity of our cultural influences and resulting identities; and the many ways through which our multi-layered identities are challenged by the larger society.

pickI read this as a team book for a readathon this month. I had never heard of it, and learned some things about the Philippines I wouldn‘t have otherwise.
pickI listened to this book and there are so many passages I wish I could go back and read. Everyone needs this book. Having the author narrate on the audio was an added bonus, and I have not gotten Vargas‘s story out of my head all week.
pickThe author was a journalist and it shows in his writing. He is clear and factual in his analysis of Southeast Asian politics and society. It also shows that his heart is breaking for this region that has been his life‘s work, first as a journalist and then as a mediator. Overall, a very depressing pick. Also, it should be noted that this book was published in 2017, so obviously some things have changed.
