Idk What It Is About October, But It Has Me Nostalgic For Old Books And Ships. I Miss Solangelo, And

Idk what it is about October, but it has me nostalgic for old books and ships. I miss Solangelo, and will never get over that their ship name means “sun angel”. Riordan you nerd.

Wow, fantastic job!

Mercy Athena Thompson Hauptman and that stupid walking stick that Lugh made. I do so love snarky characters. Playing around with skin tones and textures

LdyEnki reads Anger is a Gift Chapters 14 and 15

The continuing adventures of LdyEnki being unprepared for Mark Oshiro’s “Anger is a Gift”.

Chapter 14:

Alternate Title: Wanda is Awesome.

First the part that made me laugh.  The line about Obama.  I love this bit.  I could absolutely see Wanda talking to Obama every night.

I keep thinking about this cartoon I saw as part of a discussion my church group had.  A person is fleeing from someone wielding a knife, but a news camera is filming it in such a way that it looks like the person being chased is attacking someone unarmed.  Already the school and media are trying to spin an adult police officer attacking a teenager who hadn’t done anything wrong into a fight that shows how dangerous the students are.  And now a serious injury caused by a cop forcing a student into a situation he had said could be dangerous for him is a minor accident due to malfunctioning equipment.

Reality is being overwritten and it’s terrifying.

On a lighter note, Moss you can stop trying to play it cool.  It isn’t working.

Chapter 15:

A needed respite for Moss and me as reader.  I really enjoyed the meeting of the 2 families.  What Wanda said about love and the example she gave of Moss’s dad snoring was wonderful.  I love how she normalizes Moss’s anxiety and panic attacks at every opportunity.
