5/23/2023 0 Comments The Dead of Winter by Jack Night![]() ![]() But as Brain Dead proves, volume can come in many forms - it can be unmissable colors, dominating an intarsia knit sweater that’s finished in green with a cartoon mouth bearing the moniker, or it could be a quarter-zip top with chenille lettering and an intarsia knit collar that oozes ’80s sportswear vibes. ![]() Particular standouts include a truly gigantic multi-colored fleece patchwork chore jacket, sporting oversized pockets and collar for added volume. “Polar fleeces, women’s velvet cord pants, bubbled stretchable long sleeves, mesmerizing Ying Yang half zips, and amoeba wool beanies,” it’s all here. Whether that’s prints and patterns, branding, or material choices, everything has been put in a blender, strained, refined, and turned out into something that truly evokes the spirit of the brand. ![]() As the brand explains, “Life’s too long to be uncomfortable, settle into yourself and reap the benefits.” Aptly, Brain Dead delivers a variety of goods fit for winter, focusing on harnessing what makes the brand unique. ![]()

Angela and I have a lot of fun doing this together but we want to be able to do serious as well as lighthearted and I appreciate that we were able to have this conversation. ![]() It is definitely a heavier episode and here are content warning throughout the podcast for discussions of difficult subjects. ![]() This is the first time each of us has revisited it in a while and the weight of that first reading and how we both responded to it then hangs over this conversation. Angela was in high school and I was in college and neither of us were where or who we wanted to be. This Manga has a strong personal connection for each of us because of when we both read it for the first time about five years ago. In this episode we break down the Manga My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness by Kabi Nagata. Angela and I are back with a new episode after a short break that turned into a long break. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Wonder valley novel![]() ![]() Out of this ordinary event, Ivy Pochoda spins a web that stretches all over the City of Angels, from Skid Row to the gentrified enclaves, from the desert to the ocean, all featuring characters in some sort of disarray. This seemingly mundane highway backup turns into a seminal moment for a handful of Angelenos-people whose lives are in desperate need of a change. But what’s clearly evident is that he is completely naked. ![]() But this traffic jam is different-a runner is dodging and weaving between the cars at an astonishing clip. It’s a familiar sight in Los Angeles, traveling on the 110 during peak morning rush hour: an endless sea of commuters, with no respite for miles.

A gripping, deeply unsettling novel."-Carmen Maria Machado, National Book Award finalist and Guggenheim Fellow and author of Her Body and Other Parties " The Only Good Indian is equal parts revenge thriller, monster movie, and meditation on the inescapable undertow of the past. “Jones boldly and bravely incorporates both the difficult and the beautiful parts of contemporary Indian life into his story, never once falling into stereotypes or easy answers but also not shying away from the horrors caused by cycles of violence.”-Rebecca Roanhorse, bestselling author of Trail of Lightning and Black Sun “Fans of Stephen King's It and Peter Straub's Ghost Story should find plenty to love in this tale of friends who are haunted by a supernatural entity they first encountered in their youth.” -Silvia Moreno-Garcia, bestselling author of Mexican Gothic ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments The code of the woosters![]() ![]() Note: Though Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry deliver impeccable performances as their respective characters, this was not one of the BBC's best adaptations. ![]() Not quite sure what happened to Jeeves though. suggesting, perhaps, that when 1939 came he probably joined up with the rest of his ilk, was shipped across the channel, and spent his time there as honorably as possible. Inept though they may be, there is a hint of a spine about Wooster. His portrayal of the mid-wars generation, product of the '20s but still thinking as if it was the 1800s, is hilarious. Touted as Wodehouse's best, I find it hard to argue. In an impossible series of events that includes a silver cow creamer, that may or may not be "Modern Dutch," various engagements, a Hitler-wannabe (written in '38 so, at that point, Hitler's deepest sins had not quite made it across the channel), newts, a policeman's helmet, a violent terrier, and, of course, the most perfect gentleman's gentleman, Jeeves, Bertie Wooster manages to avoid jail, indigestion, and an engagement, and stays his own upbeat, unbeatable self. With Wodehouse, you don't have that worry. ![]() except that in that instance a bit of worry about your eventual well-being may linger in the back of your mind. Wodehouse is like getting on a boat, pushing out into a lazy river oar-less, and letting the current carry you wherever it may. ![]() ![]() ![]() Interactions should not primarily be for personal benefit.

"We opened our showroom in October, hoping to become a destination for local travelers," explained Vinson. And though books are showcased primarily in Longitude's office spaces, the staff is happy to give visitors tours of the warehouse. "Our business revolves around place-it's about understanding what makes a destination unique, so it made sense to create a physical space for our books and maps-to turn ourselves into a destination." The showroom does not have any bookstore-only staff, but between the staff members from both Longitude Books and East View Map Link, which bought Longitude Books in 2012, there are 11 people on-site. For most of its existence, the store's business model has focused on creating lists of fiction and nonfiction books in partnership with tour operators and travel planners, but Longitude Books will also sell books to any traveler. ![]() "The showroom allows us to reach local, independent travelers, and it allows them to see and handle books and maps before they buy," said Jodie Vinson, Longitude's managing editor. The physical store, which showcases in particular coffee-table books, paper maps and other items, is adjacent to the company's 10,000 square-foot-warehouse containing some 7,000 books and 10,000 maps. Last month, online travel bookstore Longitude Books opened a physical bookstore/showroom in its office space in Plymouth, Minn. Amazon isn't the only online bookseller to open a bricks-and-mortar bookstore/showroom recently. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments The infinity courts book 3![]() Working with rebels, she will have to accept her death and figure out what makes us human when faced with a difficult decision.

Reed Jr.![]() ![]() ![]() Filled with analysis and fascinating firsthand accounts of the operation of the system that codified and enshrined racial inequality, this book is required reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of America's second peculiar institution the future created in its wake. The South is more than a memoir or a history. The South unravels the personal and political dimensions of the Jim Crow order, revealing the sources and objectives of this unstable regime, its contradictions and precarity, and the social order that would replace it. Through his personal history and political acumen, we see America's apartheid system from the ground up, not just its legal framework or systems of power, but the way these systems structured the day-to-day interactions, lives, and ambitions of ordinary working people. Reed illuminates the multifaceted structures of the segregationist order. New Orleanian, political scientist, and according to Cornel West, "the greatest democratic theorist of his generation" - takes up the urgent task of recounting the granular realities of life in the last decades of the Jim Crow South. They leave behind a collective memory of segregation shaped increasingly by its horrors and heroic defeat but not a nuanced understanding of everyday life in Jim Crow America. The last generation of Americans with a living memory of Jim Crow will soon disappear. ![]() |
