we are aphantastic and slow readers, always reading a bunch of books in parallel. we mostly read about anarchism, bread, neurodiversity, sci-fi, and cosy fantasy. our pronouns are it / they (plural). (Avatar: reading fox emoji, from Volpeon's Neofox emoji set)

Content warning mention of trauma; emotional abuse and shaming about "unhealth" copying mechansim
Preventing re-traumatization is a worthy goal in itself and at times is the best one can do given one’s circumstances. There is no shame in prudently waiting to explore traumatic memories until one judges that it is safe to do so—it is a necessary part of the healing process. In the words of trauma therapist Judith Herman: “This task [of establishing safety] takes precedence over all others, for no other therapeutic work can possibly succeed if safety has not been adequately secured. No other therapeutic work should even be attempted until a reasonable degree of safety has been achieved.”
— Mutual Aid, Trauma, and Resiliency by Jane Addams Collective (37%)
In a time where we went thru traumatic events, an abuser often shamed us for "unhealthy" copying mechanisms, like avoidance of triggering places. We were not yet ready to cope with the trauma, until we were at a safer place 💜
this is so sweet and lovely... this little fops read the first chapters today, while sitting (not so comfily) on a park bench, or more moving around on said park bench, or sometimes not on that park bench at all but rather walking in circles, holding the book in the paws, enjoying to be at a nice place like that with all those trees, wondering about the little creatures that might live inside them...
this fops actually finished all books it started reading, so maybe continue reading the manga :3 💚

Finished the main part of the book. There's an appendix, which discusses how the book was created; maybe we'll read that also later.
Adding to the want to read list, because there's a character called Moss!

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.
