This book is so validating and just a lovely read as an asexual person. Also very informative on the specific experiences of and prejudices against Black asexual people. I'm listening while playing Against the Storm on my PC

I watched V for Vendetta for the first time tonight at girls night. I decided that I would like to see much better versions of a similar idea. Any recs for not too gory revenge against the evil government books or movies? Also are the comics better than the movie?

I think I would like to visit some early Irish Christians, the ones who built the High Crosses. Just for a short visit, would not want to live then.
