The Two Princesses of Bamarre is one of my favorite books ever

EEEEEE Two Princesses of Bamarre! That was one of my favorites as a kid! Almost as good as Ella Enchantedg

It turns out the library’s copy of that is checked out too (but I’m #1 on the wait list for it, as opposed to #32 on Station Eleven). So in the meantime I’m gonna read Fairest, since that one’s available.

I second le guin, also have you read anything by octavia butler? she's really heavy but incredible. check out lilith's brood and parable of the sower.

I have not, and my library has PotS. Thanks!

I've read about twenty books so far this year, and they've all been female authors. I'm doing the no-white-cis-male reading challenge for the entire year.

I really respect that a lot. I’m just too weak to be able to do it myself. Like, I’m trying to diversify my reading tastes, but there are just so many bros that I love to read.

This sounds really interesting, and if I was at all close to Buffalo I'd totally be there!

I'll post my slides here at some point! (I'd post them now but I'm actually still working on them shhhh)

errrr, what is even the point of assigning extra credit based on gender? If I want students to do two different assignments, then one is A and one is B.

the extra credit thing was participating in a survey/experiment thing, so i guess they'd divided it up based on gender?????? and like i get that nonbinary genders aren't super fucking common but i still think it's important to at least have the option that doesn't alienate people?????????? it really bothers me when experiments and studies are split up by gender but only account for a binary view of gender. like. there's gotta be a better way to do that.
