I highly recommend Unfit Parent by Jessica Slice. It is not only for disabled parents but abled parents, and non- parents as well! People in the field of social work would do well to read or listen to this.

I just finished listening to James by Percival Everett. Highly recommend in general, but the audiobook was amazing!

I just finished listening to Toni Morrison read "The Bluest Eye."
Listening to author read it was absolutely the best experience. I can't imagine experiencing this book (and the afterword) in any other way. It took until this point in my life, but it was the perfect time.

Book banners LOVE to say they just want pornography out of school libraries.

They're lying.

And we have the receipts.

Current read/listen: Fang Fiction by Kate Stayman-London (after several months of being on the hold list on Libby.) I can't decide if I like it or not, but can't stop.

First two books read in 2025 contain disability representation. My Darling Duke by Stacy Reid and Take a Moment by Nina Kaye.
