As a friend once told me, nothing is so privileged as thinking history belongs to the past. —— In general colonialism infrastructure was not built to strengthen communities, it was built to deplete them.

Wow, I loved this book so much. So many things about it. Her descriptions, imagination, the emotions of her characters. The way and order of how this story builds was really exciting, too. I loved the gore, violence, and all the things that will probably make a lot of people uncomfortable, and possibly dislike or not want to read this book. Might not be your thing. (I’m not going to post any CW stuff but there is probably a long list or feel free to ask.)

@realityasylumreads even though I’m vegan I didn’t think about this from that perspective. I mean like briefly but not as the focus. Maybe that’s weird. I left a comment (not review) on this book where I found this quote: “Tender Is the Flesh is a meditation on what capitalism is – it teaches us to naturalise cruelty….Capitalism and cannibalism are almost the same, you know?” —from the author.

You've Got to Be Kidding Me!: Perimenopause Symptoms, Stages & Strategies" is the go-to, take-anywhere …
The nerd in me was really excited to read a perimenopause book, thankfully I have two others to follow up on that will hopefully be more informative and less redundant. Some positives - she stresses advocating for yourself and highlights key topics related to perimenopause. I am sure it will be useful to many people and it is a pretty quick read.
Things I didn’t enjoy: -Unfortunately this felt like reading a blog post or click-bait news article. It was like a bad combo of self help and popsci. -I don’t need someone to remind me constantly about something they wrote about in a previous chapter. I get that people may jump around on topics of interest, but maybe just briefly reference the chapter number if you are that concerned that the reader may have forgotten. Or omg is that a play on perimenopause brain fog?! Anyways, overall super repetitive. …

Or omg is that a play on perimenopause brain fog?! Anyways, overall super repetitive. - It truly bums me out that a book on this topic uses incorrect anatomical terms. Especially since she stresses the importance of understanding these terms and talking about your health. See page 164: “…and labia minora (your inner vagina) to become less responsive.” Noooo :( that is not your vagina and especially not your inner vagina.
I have more to say but I’ll leave it at that and will hopefully find a more useful book on the topic.
