I love Sherman Alexie's books! I think True Diary would be the best for a 13yo, but Flight might be good for a mature 13yo. Lone Ranger and Tonto might be a little old.

Oh and of course Everything Sad Is Untrue. Everyone must read it.

Oh no I was just affirming that it was kid-appropriate!

I don't know if you could interest him, but the All Creatures Great and Small series is surprisingly funny and very clean.

I second Absolutely True Diary. Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green is great and very poignant. idk if he's old enough to watch Parks and Rec, but if he is, Welcome to Pawnee was very lighthearted and fun. We Were Dreamers was a fantastic biography and appropriate.

Absolutely True Diary is actually YA!

I told my husband that if he allows female priests I may have to convert.

This is all fantastic! Thank you for sharing. I have a Tacoma address but don't get to vote on the mayor, unfortunately, so I was behind in this.

I'd love to know more about what makes Ibsen progressive! I've mostly heard super mild reception of him from progressives.

Those of us who live in mountainous places our entire lives still can't get over it. We still tell each other, "The mountain is out!" "Look at the mountain!" "Wow, it's gorgeous today!"

I always imagine I'll clean and put fresh sheets on the bed. But the best I can usually do is make sure the fridge is empty of things that will rot.

I wish Gmail had a button that said, "Sorry, lost my job. Please try again next year." Would work for giving emails AND Black Friday emails.

Isn't voter turnout for primaries abysmal, not just the normal terrible of PNW November elections?

I've never heard that distinction!

Basically anything by Jars of Clay, but this song especially. youtu.be/Mc4yaMpXOQQ?...

I remember once early in the BLM protest days, maybe five people, tops, were protesting outside our dying mall. Their signs had to have been written with pencil. It was such a sad sight. I thought about bringing them Sharpies, and I kind of wish I had.
