Fairy Tale | Stephen King
post image
Pickpick

Fairly standard King: a ton of set up that gets you really invested in the characters, then it gets weird, but you're already in for the long haul. It starts out as a story about a boy, an old man, and his dog, and ends with the boy trying to save a kingdom. It was a shame the dog was sidelined so much in the second half, but this was a great, sprawling yarn from a master storyteller, a fantasy novel like too few of his books.

August StoryGraph stats
I read several comics this month, all VERY different. Us and Rare Flavours are easy favorites. Discipline is an interesting experiment from the always fascinating Dash Shaw. By the Fire We Carry is an excellent crash course in the history of native land in America. It is always inspiring, and, sadly, constantly relevant, to read the words of Dr. King. Currently working on Fairy Tale by the other King, Stephen King 😉

Quick Stops Volume 2 | Kevin Smith

Quick Stops Volume 1 shares four stories that take place off-screen during Clerks 1&2. It was a fun flashback.
Volume 2 goes full Red State, telling a bloody, sex-fueled story of Mooby's creation.
Two very different books, but fun reads. Serviceable, consistent art.

Armed troops from the Ohio National Guard were sent to Kent State in May 1970 in an escalation of attempts to suppress protests against the Vietnam War. In a tragic instance, guards fired into a crowd, killing four and injuring nine.

https://youtu.be/l1PrUU2S_iw

I'm not really familiar with the event, but I'll be checking out the graphic novel recommended by @mrp27 And I hope DC makes it through this occupation without incident..

AmyG I am very afraid that there will be violence and marshall law will be installed. Then, no elections. I am afraid that is the game plan. 2w

TheBookHippie I wasa child living on an Army base at the time (father drafted into Vietnam) it was a shit show everywhere. The orange menace intends to stay in power. Part of the reason a few things changed after this (KentState) was the news and articles about this. That‘s not happening now. People don‘t see protests or the violence. Just lies on Faux fake news. 2w
Bookwormjillk @AmyG my fear as well. 2w
Suet624 I was 15 when this happened. We were so distraught. Those years - 1968 through early 1970's - were some of the most challenging times in the protest movement. 1w
ImperfectCJ @AmyG I worry about this, and I worry about mandatory military service when the administration's reach exceeds the numbers willing to volunteer for military service. Not sure how far down the authoritarian/totalitarian rabbit hole we're headed, but the decreased minimum eligibility requirements and signing bonuses for ICE and the FBI are unsettling signs. 1w
mrp27 I‘m glad you‘re interested in my recommendation. It‘s very thorough and gives background to the events leading up to that terrible day to give a better understanding of what happened and why. 1w

Star Wars: Inquisitors | Rodney Barnes

Panpan

A very blah book. The story was unsatisfying, and the art had no life. A Jedi on the run is hunted by Vader and his Inquisitors. While there is a lot of talk of the legend growing around this Jedi, it is told and barely shown. He is able to outwit the Inquisitors, with absolutely no consequences. Spoiler: Vader joins the finale, Jedi is dispatched, story over. I don't see why this story was told...

This is such a sweet, honest look at one couple's experience with an individual's transition. The author doesn't shy away from the lows and the struggles, but it is a very affirming read. She does a great job of giving space for both her and her partner's voice. It was wonderful to read their story, and I'm grateful that they were comfortable sharing their journey.

While this imparts a powerful history of the forced removal, disenfranchisement, and legal gymnastics against American Indians throughout history, it confusingly starts with a very detailed account of a murder of which the details have zero relevance to the rest of the book. It was confusing and set up a false expectation for the rest of the book. It should be read by every American citizen, but just don't get invested in the Jacobs murder...

I haven't watched the 5-hour documentary yet, but I've rocked out to the 7-hour soundtrack.

Billy Joel's debut solo album, Cold Spring Harbor, was notoriously poorly mixed, sped up for a chipmunk-like sound. It was re-mixed in 1983, without Joel's participation, and was a mild improvement. For this soundtrack, there is a new mix of 'Got to Begin Again' and 'Tomorrow is Today', and they are excellent!

Thank you to everyone who committed to donating blood or otherwise supporting your local blood bank this week and year round! If you are planning on donating, here are a few tips for optimizing your donation.
#litsyblooddrive

BONUS FACT: Did you know that blood is generally sterile? When they ask if you are feeling healthy and well before your donation, it is not because of germs. It is because they don't want to risk compromising your immunity.

Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice | Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha
post image
Mehso-so

I wish this was more impactful for me. I listened to the audio, and they spoke too quickly and used language specific to the movement that I was not familiar with; I zoned out a few times because I couldn't follow what they were talking about. They talked about their person struggle, but there wasn't a lot of personal information, at least in the beginning; certainly their right, but it made the discussion about their struggles more abstract.

TieDyeDude It felt like it was written for an audience already familiar with author and their career, so it was difficult for me to connect with the material. That said, there is a lot of emotional stories and powerful musings about how to communicate and work with the disability community. Worth a read, but I wouldn't recommend the audio. (edited) 1mo

I would certainly have voted for Ram V as best writer over Gene Luen Yang for best writer in this year's Eisner on this vs. Lunar New Year alone. A demonic Rakshasa, Rubin, struggles with its nature as it embarks on a Bourdain-inspired journey through Indian cuisine. The epic team behind The Many Deaths of Laila Starr create another masterpiece.

Well deserving of the 2025 Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album, Best Publication for Teens, and Best Writer for Yang. Valentina believes her family is cursed in love, so the spirit of St. Valentine gives her one year to find true love, or he will free her of the burden of ever falling in love. In that year, she learns the truth of her family and joins a team of lion dancers. Predictable ending, but a great journey to it.

Ever consider donating blood, but think, "What's in it for me?" ?

Now, these claims have not been thoroughly studied (except the cookies ?), but there is strong evidence that kickstarting your body's blood production in a safe, controlled manner can have several cardiovascular benefits. You can read more here: https://www.cuimc.columbia.edu/news/surprising-benefits-donating-blood

Are you eligible to donate blood? Here is a quick breakdown of the basics. You can check with your local donate center to get additional information, including the medication deferral list. There are regular changes (within the last couple years they made it easier for LGBT donors and shortened the tattoo/piercing waiting period).

If you are unable to make a blood donation, please consider other ways to get involved: ⤵️

TieDyeDude Donate $5 to your local blood bank :: Volunteer at your local donation center :: Encourage others to donate blood and/or plasma :: Donate store-bought or homemade snacks (check with your local center about what they accept) :: Create crafts or organize a group to make thank-you gifts for donors

If you are eligible to join our drive, schedule your blood or platelet donation on or around August 9. Thanks to @MatchlessMarie for donating last week!
