Glad I picked this up off my #TBR. Fascinating glimpse into English classism, white superiority,anti-Chinese or “Orientals” discrimination, Post WWI.Maimed men and the ravages of war explored as well. In one scene an artist paints wounded/disable war Vets to pull them out of their shadow world in an effort to render them visible to society. #discrimination #classism #WWIVets #artinspires #artforsocialchange #TBR #AxetheStacks
Very excited to serve as a Keynote presenter for the Library Mini-conference for the #21CLHK this coming weekend (January 23/24). I will be doing two presentations:
(1) Reading for Social Justice and Transformative (Anti-Racist) Education and
(2) Stories That Provide Hope and Comfort During Troubled Times.
You can still register here: https://www.21clhk.org/library-mini-conference
I will also be moderating Behrouz Boochani‘s session!

Is it still like this, @Weaponxgirl ?

Dinner/bookstore date with my FP big sibling tonight. You know you‘ve got the right person when they pull this off the shelf as something they‘d read for fun, and it‘s the textbook for a class you‘re currently taking and loving. I wasn‘t going to drop $70 on the text when the prof is providing PDFs, but I‘ll pay $7.50 for the ease of paper vs screen for the last month of class. (And of course gift it to my friend after finals, I‘m not a monster)
Was getting settled in for my reading homework and had to giggle when I saw my TinyCat tattoo and TinyCat coaster in such close proximity. 🤓
