The Little Wars

I don't know what she did since her contribution to ace discourse but, the thing I find most frustrating about harry potter nostalgia is that I do not share it at all and when people complain about being nostalgic for those books I always wonder... is that normal?

Like, I am well aware that I was always a heavy reader and burning through books or deeply analyzing books and so even though I was 12 when the first one came out I was well past YA fiction by then, I had already finished the Xanth series and I had already realized that actually Piers Anthony might be a creep and burned any nostalia for that.

I liked Redwall and any Lois Lowrey book way more than I liked those books back then but I do not have a Mattimeo tatoo. I just... I know she is bad and evil but I just cant figure out why anyone cares. I just end up thinking that Harry Potter adults are trying to normalize caring about her shitty opinions and I dont know why. There are so many people with shitty attitudes and opinions. #books #amReading @bookstodon

Reading Professor Anna Whitelock's The Sun Rising, and finding the chapter on the anticipation of Elizabeth I passing after such a long rein, then James succeeding, feels slightly peculiar after our own era experiencing the passing of her namesake and her remarkably long rein.

Regardless of my thoughts on monarchy, it had the feel of history passing through us.

History is never just the past...

Currently reading this book, and the Palmer raid stuff could have been written yesterday. Both horrifying and uplifting, because there was intense pushback then too, but why the hell are we going through this shit again?

New Read - Delicious in Dungeon, Volume 1

Okay, volume 1 sold me. It sold me hard.

Basic premise is that a band of fantasy adventurers get through a dungeon, only to be so hungry that they cannot fight against a red dragon and one of their compatriots is swallowed whole by the dragon.

So, after regrouping, they decide to go back. But, like they need to eat along the way.

Enter Senshi. Senshi helps teach them how to cook monster they find in the dungeons and it's so much fun.

Glad I picked this up. Looking forward rto more.

Photograph of a white person's hand holding Delicious in Dungeon, Volume 1 against a light colored wall. The cover is bordered in red and gold with the title in the upper right-hand corner. To the left is a light skinned, blonde man in a suit of plate armor holding cooking utensils. Behind him in dull light is a small group of fantasy adventurers and a red dragon behind that.
Photograph of a single black and white manga panel from Delicious in Dungeon, Volume 1. The image shows a light haired warrior in plate armor from behind talking to a tall, light haired elf and a short, half-foot (halfling) rogue. The warrior is saying, "People have been resurrected from mincemeat before, right!? Has any adventurer ever been revived from poop!?" The half-foot character says, "Not htat I've ever heard of."
