#Reading Jen Campbell's funny and occasionally cringeworthy 2011 book "Weird things customers say in bookshops". Some of it becomes a bit more comprehensible if you suppose that certain people don't quite understand the difference between a bookshop and a public library.
Listening to the Imaginary Worlds podcast about the truly astonishing number of #books being banned from #school and public #libraries in the US. About half of them are about people of colour of queer people. And I remember #reading Inger Edelfeldt's #gay coming of age novel "Duktig pojke" as a set text in middle school in the mid 80s. My teacher brought a box of that book into class as one of a few options. USA, you are a travesty.
Aaahhh yes @rachelandrew is going into the problem of placing content in CSS grid, and having it confuse the visual order Vs DOM order, tabbing order, screen reader order.
Big Barrel is off to the dumpster to get some grub. Jakub Żulczyk draws a picture of decline in Many Years of Hardships, translated by John and Małgorzata Markoff.
Just beginning to reading a new danmei series, “Golden Terrace” 🌸 which was recommended to me by @geraineon. After a quick break reading some Japanese manga, I’m ready for the more complex world of these novels. Masha, the tiny black kitty, is ready for sofa time 😺📚

Started watching the videos of a booktuber. What I like about her is that instead of roasting and hating books, she mostly presents books which she loves.
And I really appreciate this approach.
However, it seems we have a different book taste. I read a novel she recommended, but to me the pacing was too slow. She also loves a classic novel which I didn't finish, because most of the characters are horrible people.
