The top-rated review on Goodreads outlines all of the ways that the book’s characters are prejudiced — misogynists, racists, religious zealots, etc.
But I’m thinking, “That’s kinda the point! Women — including a Black woman — are routinely ignored during this story. Even though it’s pretty obvious that they’re right.”
It seems like that’s supposed to be one of the big takeaways — that people aren’t listening to them because they don’t want to believe them, and because they ultimately don’t care.

That’s the really scary aspect of this story.
Oh ... my.

*** Here comes another spoiler. ***

Is Slick going to become a vampire? A ... benevolent vampire?
No. Nooooo.

They have to get rid of Uncle James. Hoyt Pickens. Whatever his real name is.

Started listening to this audiobook while I was WFH today.

I’m already halfway through it. A book cover. It depicts two orange peaches on a black backg
About forty minutes into it, or thereabouts, I was like, “Oh, they’re going to make this into a movie. Or a limited series. This is the kind of material they’re looking for.”
I wish I’d started livetweeting about this as soon as I started listening to it, because I have ... lots of thoughts.

The right-wing grifters — professional grifters and pundits who get paid to yell on conservative “news” outlets — are ramping up their criticism of Hillary, AOC, and Ilhan Omar.

Curiously, they’re having a hard time turning Biden into a boogeyman.
It’s like they’re throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks.

They’re going to keep grifting, of course, but they’re having a hard time figuring this one out.

This year, I’m ...

The Girl With The Green Ribbon Around Her Neck.
TGWTGRAHN has a special significance for me.
When I was a kid, my dad came to school to read to the class.

He didn’t know what story to read, but I always enjoyed the stories from In a Dark, Dark Room. So he brought that book with him.

By the way, good morning to all of my followers, who I hope are having a good morning.

My morning has been unusual, to say the least.

I opened the back door and my neighbor’s 130-pound (59kg, folks!) Rottweiler ran inside.
Now, this is a scary dog.

The dog is so scary that this all happened an hour ago and yet my heart is still hammering.
But the dog is also very, very nice. No barking or biting, thankfully — this time, anyway. Ah-haha.

I was trying to come up with the ultimate S***h D****n-esque plot for a hypothetical YA novel.

I think I’ve got a solid-gold idea.
Meet Hope.

(We can rename her, if necessary. I think Daisy would be an equally charming name.)
Hope is about to start her senior year of high school.

Last year, she went to a small private school. This year, things are going to be different.
