Body counts every night--how many US soldiers dead; how many Viet Cong. It was an educational childhood.

I’ve been to most of the organized protests in 2025. I’m 65 . Gray hair. Lots like me. Retired librarian. Very scary.

I was 15. And it looked and felt new and different — which can’t be repeated.

Let them fight but we have bigger things to worry about!
There’s a House bill making the DOGE cuts permanent! Call your member of Congress! NO to the recission package!

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, MAGA finds it all funny and applaud her trolling the libs. I wish I thought there was a happy end to this timeline.

Everybody in my 1st grade wore bread bags with rubber bands over their shoes inside red rubber boots. Thats how you kept your feet dry in 3 feet of snow. Not that big a deal in the 60s!!!!

So many reasons to vote No! Water scarcity; it's 3 miles from existing city limit; Bradley Rd is already crowded; we need to infill many areas made desolate by relentless eastern expansion.....

There are not. There are springs in Manitou Springs however.

Body bag counts on the evening news every night in my childhood (Vietnam War).

I think I'm trying to gently refer to feminist women my generation (old) who barely have heard the term TERF but who might be classified by others as "TERF-curious"--because they don't have a lot of reference points. I don't know if I'm expressing it well.

I was trying to be more inclusive than that.

Not hard to understand and support!
(and for any hard-core Feminists out there having trouble here-think about why letting go of gender-binaries is anathema to the right. If they can't easily sort people into patriarchical categories, how are they going to control and disenfranchise women???)

You can feel when a piece of storytelling has been made by someone with a curious and hungry mind and palate, and you can feel when a piece of storytelling has been made by someone who does the cultural version of only eating chicken tendies.

I liked Mieville's The City and the City- a police procedural, but not about that. Or T. Kingfisher's spiraled fairytales-not just flipped. And Claire North's The Burning Age. Robert Bennet Jackson's Divine Cities r worked for me, but his other fantasy series didn't. And I'm out of characters..

I'm 65! I read mainly fantasy and syfy with literary leanings because they do often have interesting and novel takes on things. I agree that excellent rises above the problem. But I disagree that authors can't break new ground. When publishers demand the same thing over and over I get sad.

Interesting thread--I just don't want to read it because the romance plot line bores me and is too predictable. Many other classic plots bore me too. It gets harder and harder to find something original.

I couldn't even begin to choose just one but a recent one is Murray Bookchin's Ecology of Freedom. And reading Carlo Levi's Christ Stopped at Eboli around the same time (45 years ago!) as Wretched of the Earth created some interesting synergies. But so so many!
