am I not getting this?

maybe I was expecting too much because I'd heard about it in adrienne maree brown and Autumn Brown's podcast and thought this was going to be extremely mind-blowing. I kept expecting the story to go somewhere, to develop in some direction but it just kept being a bleak, lost earth and people trying to just survive on it. seemed to me like the plot just fizzled out.

reading crustacean reviewed Being Seen by Elsa Sjunneson
mostly a media analysis
4 stars
ok so when I started this book it was very reluctantly. i am abled and have not confronted my own ableism a lot, so i was expecting it to make me feel guilt, shame, the whole fragility shebang when confronted with one's own bigotry. but actually, i did not because a) this is a very funny book as elsa sjunneson writes in a very snarky way b) it is mostly about ableism in the media, so it didn't really teach me to change something about my behavior, specifically, but still got me to question some assumptions and thought patterns

reading crustacean reviewed The Seventh Bride by T. Kingfisher
light reading
4 stars
I liked this a lot - maybe a little less than "Nettle and Bone" by the same author because it's not quite as snarky. It's super wholesome and put me in a light mood. The characters are very likable and down to earth, plus it has a lot of fresh ideas and plays on common fantasy tropes, which I liked.
