En Anglais, on ne dit pas “quatre vingt dix neuf”, on dit “ninety nine” qu'on pourrait traduire comme “Hurr durr, regardez mois, j'ai un système de numérotation fonctionnel” et je crois que c'est magnifique.

Being asexual and racist is embarassing as fuck. Being racist at all is obviously embarassing as fuck but the amount of racism and especially antiblackness i have been seeing from asexuals recently is obscene.

One of the only asexual activists is Yasmin Benoit, a Black woman. She has raised so much awareness for the community. She was the first asexual person to lead Pride in London, she started the #thisiswhatasexuallookslike movement and is THE leading voice for the community.

And you all will celebrate international asexuality day on April 6th but we wouldn't even have that if she hadn't cofounded it.

Edit: why are you all too scared to repost this. Cmon. Be vocal about being against racism

@2026-book-bingo update for April -- despite how it looks, April was a slow reading month. We had a lot of false start spring days, so I had to spend time outside, but it was too cold for something like reading out in the yard.

Everything I read though was just *chef's kiss*

I was pleasantly surprised to see the Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer is through an indie publisher. Read in preparation for planting season this year.

Trouble the Saints by Alaya Dawn Johnson was my literary fiction pick, and it was...wow. Such a cool premise, and I was in tears the last two chapters.

Alix Harrow's Starling House could have been Gothic Fiction, too, I guess, but I came to it via blurbs, so that's where it goes! I don't understand how she has been under my radar for so long?

Speaking of Gothic Horror, Midnight Rooms was such a fun take on the genre. What happens if you mix Victorian era racism with gothic tropes? This book, and it is so gripping and unsettling. I was vaguely creeped out the entire time.

And then there was Pines by Blake Crouch. As a sub-rock dweller I did not know this was a show or whatever, but a coworker very kindly sent me a copy of this book, and I was very glad she did.

Like I said a slow month, so the only Honorable Mention:

The Mechanic and the Luddite: A Ruthless Criticism of Technology and Capitalism by Jathan Sadowski. What it says on the tin.

I wasn't angry enough, so for cultural nonfiction I went with We Will Be Jaguars, which I do highly recommend.

Knocked out the Romance with Raiders of the Lost Heart. It was cute.

Ended the month with a banned selection, Her Body and Other Parties. So good. So so good.
