Betsy, Tacy and Tib lived in an era without phones, cars, TVs, and convenience. They relied upon nature and imagination and loyalty to enrich their friendship. 💞

monalyisha Noticing, too, that we‘ve both selected books with younger protagonists. Such a powerful time for formative friendships! 2w
Dilara Hmm. That's tricky. I trawled through my LT catalogue and decided on the 3 friends from The Old Geezers graphic series. Maybe? They're old and disgraceful but they have each others' backs and they're always up to something.
Thank you for tagging me!

#tlt #threelistthursday
I LOVED school- High School, College and Grad school! (I was a huge nerd )
I loved so much about High School-
1. I was able to attend Close Up 3 times - a program in DC to actively learn about govt,
2. I participated in The National Conf of Christian and Jews- it was life changing.
3. I was very active in Student Govt and Track by Sr year Captain of my team and President of my class.
My HS had 6000 students.

TheLudicReader 6000! Students?! What the heck! 3mo
tpixie Amazing experiences. 6000 students! I‘m glad you found a nitch to feel at home. 3mo
dabbe 6000 students? That's an entire town! W😍WZA! Love these answers! What was your best even in track? I was fairly decent at the hop, step, jump--or do they now call it the triple jump? 😂 Thanks for sharing. 💛🤎🧡 3mo

Out of Place | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

Born in the wrong decade —
awkward, out of place — ready
to travel through time.

Been feeling this way since high school. Where‘s my time machine? 🤔

#haikuhive #haikuaday #poetry #retroart

AnnCrystal A time machine would be lovely. I've been obsessed with time machines since I was a kid. I even wrote one into my duology. When a teenager, I once worked on dollar store clocks until I figured out how to make them tick backwards 😂. 👏🏼🐝👍🏼☺️🐝💝. 5mo
JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal that is so cool!! I‘ve been obsessed with time traveling since watching Back To The Future when I was a kid (over and over and over again 😵‍💫) — that and when Steve Urkel made a time machine and became Stefan Urkelle 😆😅😅 And now I get my fix with Outlander and Kelley Armstrong books. Nerds unite!! 🤓📚🤓🤗♥️♥️♥️ 5mo

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🤩 love the “Back to the Future“ movies 💝💝💝... love almost any time travel movie and story.

Some time ago, I was excited about the Outlander series showing reruns on TV. When I started watching it...it took way too long to figure out that I was actually watching Highlander 😂 which I used to watch as a kid, so don't ask me why i was so easily fooled 😂🎬💝...

AnnCrystal I will catch Outlander one day...😂...or I will stumble across a book. 5mo
JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal lol you just made me snort!! 😅😅😅 I can so see myself doing something like that. Outlander will scratch all of your time traveling itches. I love Diana Gabaldon‘s spin on time travel. Very clever and high stakes, smack dab in the middle of all of these major historical events. Very spicy if you don‘t mind such things! 5mo
AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 😂👌🏼 I can't wait to be able to watch Outlander 🤩👍🏼🎬💝...I searched clips in the past, and it seem oh too good indeed ☺️💝. 5mo
dabbe I feel the same way! Oh, and OUTLANDER. I have all of the (ahem) interesting sections marked for rereading purposes. 🤩😍🤩 5mo
lil1inblue I often feel that way! What a great expression of it! 💓 4mo
julieclair I love the way you design your posts. You definitely have artistic - and literary - flair. 💙🐝💙 4mo

Take what you need from this book and discard the rest. It's dense, not easy to read, and contradicts itself all over the place. The author also has internalized misogyny which shows up a lot.

It's mostly well researched and informative, though nothing groundbreaking. The sections on gender and identity were poorly done, insultingly so.

⬇️

PuddleJumper The author confidently talks about asexuality without knowing what it is. She encouraged someone to mask their gender identity and only reveal it in private. This entire section should have been scrapped because it could be very damaging.

My main issue with this book and a prevalent issue in understanding and diagnosing autism in women - gender essentialism.
6mo
PuddleJumper This book is seeped in it. It's very obvious in the childhood and personal relationship sections. It's clearly a factor in why women with autism are underdiagnosed. It should be interrogated and there should be a discussion on gender bias, it should not be accepted as fact.

6mo
PuddleJumper The portrayal of autistic women is both limited and limiting. While some things spoke to me, I do not appreciate being reduced down to my neurodivergence which this book did. It left me angry and sad.

ravenlee Wow, there are so many better ways to express that sentiment, that aren‘t insulting and demeaning. 6mo
