mostly reading (very slowly) about anarchism, bread, neurodiversity, sometimes sci-fi
it/they/she, aphantastic system, not a person

slowly reading moss& started reading Girls' Last Tour, Vol. 1 by Tsukumizu (Girls' Last Tour, #1)
slowly reading moss& commented on The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers (Wayfarers, #1)
it always takes some time for me to immerge in a book, but these days i had really a lot of fun reading, after finally having remembered the names of all the characters, being attuned to the (to me a bit uncommon) structure, etc.
my ebook reader says ~2h reading time left (i'm at 75% in the book). if i keep up the pace, i might finish reading it after (only) a few days. (i'm still a slow reader, even if i'm enjoying a book.)
i think i'll also consider reading some of the next books in this series, but also have a bunch of other books lined up.
slowly reading moss& wants to read Schattenspringer by Daniela Schreiter (Schattenspringer, #1)
we're following Fuchskind a while on fedi already, so gotta read her visual books on growing up as Autistic child eventually :3
one of the few German authors on Autism that don't fall into the "Autism Mom" scheme, i.e. the books are actually from the perspective of the kids. Apparently the books can be quite helpful for the kids, relatives, and everyone else in the social circles :3
slowly reading moss& wants to read Tuning, timbre, spectrum, scale by William A. Sethares
seems like an intriguing piece of music theory nerdiness
slowly reading moss& reviewed Is Love the Answer? by Uta Isaki
lighthearted discussion of an inner coming out as aromantic and asexual
4 stars
it's a pretty light-hearted read about a girl that thinks she's broken, but with the help of new friends realise she's actually aromantic and asexual!
read it a while ago, after it got recommended in a local aro/ace group (turned out a local library had a translation of this book, but we read it electronically in the English version).
there was a scene about "cheating" that we didn't like so much, but otherwise it was a nice read 💚🖤💜

it's a bit scary to start reading yet another piece of fiction, given the afantasia (and difficulty keeping track of characters and their relations), but we're giving this book/series a try. this book (first in series of four) is by the same author of the other short series I enjoyed plenty ("Monk & Robot").
there's a list of characters on Wikipedia, and it doesn't look too complicated.
