This book was my favourite present this Xmas, already read it through the library earlier this year but just had to have my own copy, can't wait to read it again (and again). It is absolutely gorgeous!!!
If you’re in the UK & are so inclined, from Dec 25 to Jan 5 you can get the Kindle edition of THE RIVER HAS ROOTS for 99p as part of their 12 Days of Kindle event! This means in the UK you can also get that price matched at other etailers, like Kobo! Merry Christmas!

I'm gonna be honest, when you say, "trump is your fault because you didn't support the democrats killing Palestinians," what i hear is, "they were supposed to be the only people being tortured and killed." I hear, "I'm not against fascism, I'm just against being on the receiving end of the gun."

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.
Note how these awful people are getting exactly the exclusions of children that they demanded and *that still isn’t enough for them*: they demand everyone be delighted about it and kiss their arses for being brilliant.
