i’m reading the myth of normal & have hundreds of highlights already. this one hit so goddamn deep:

“that some attachments may not survive the choice for authenticity is one of the most agonizing realizations one can come to; and yet, in that pain, there is freedom.”

💙📚💡 #booksky #amreading
"My childhood community doesn't understand me, can't see me, doesn't get it," she said. "It breaks my heart because I want to be loved and connected, but I suspect they will never be able to see me or connect with me." That some attachments may not survive the choice for authenticity is one of the mostagonizing realizations one can come to; and yet, in that pain, there is freedom. It reverses and vindicates the tragic, mandatory choices we had to make in the opposite direction as we started in life. "It's a journey of ditching people-pleasing and not caring what people think," Darlene told me. "There are times when I go, 'I want that person's approval. I can't say I've arrived, but it's an onion process: I've gotten lots of the layers off, and more and more freedom in my authenticity. I've had to find my own pockets of community where I am seen and understood. It's been a painful process, but I know it's the right thing." Truth and compassion have to be reciprocal partners. We are not being compassionate by

There is an interesting short review by Doug Johnstone in last week's Big Issue of Ann Morgan's Relearning to Read. She says while comfort reading has its place, we 'should be getting comfortable with discomfort in reading ... & that we're better readers as a result'

📬 While I was reading @molcher.bsky.social’s excellent “I Am The Law” I became interested in the history of #JudgeDredd.

Fortunately, the footnotes and “Further Reading” section mentioned “The Mega-History”. It seems OOP here 🇬🇧 but I found a used copy on WoB 🤗

👨‍🏫 #NonFictionBooks 💡📚💙 #BookSky 🦋
A paperback edition of Colin Jarman and Peter Acton’s “Judge Dredd: The Mega-History” sat on a table. The back cover with text that reads as follows: Drokk it, creeps! This is the law and the law is Dredd! All that stands between you and a life stretch in an iso-cube is this book. It is the law of Dredd and by order of the Justice Department, it is your duty as a citizen to read it, or face the full might of the law!' This is the previously untold and controversial story behind the development, creation and evolution of the comic book legend Judge Dredd ... in the words of the writers and artists who brought him and his violent world to life 18 years ago in 2000 AD. LEARN THE TRUTH ABOUT • Dredd's origins from the ashes of the ultra-violent Action comic how the success of Judge Dredd lawman of the future saw the eventual eclipse of Dan Dare pilot of the future • the search for the definitive first story and discover the never before published COURTROOM script • the censorship battles fought out between editors and management that almost saw the early demise of the Judge Dredd strip • which Hollywood stars and films originally inspired the Dredd strip • what the legendary Dredd artists really thought of each other's artwork • previously unpublished artwork by Carlos Ezquerra, Mike McMahon and Brian Bolland Dredd's world in 2099 AD and beyond is a fragile one between civilisation and armageddon - with the only source of protection being the Judges. The toughest Judge of them all is Dredd ... single-mindedly patrolling the astrophalt jungle, his only allies - the awesome firepower of his Lawgiver and nuclear-powered Lawmaster bike. • A Judge's life is fast, brutal and short. Dredd is no ordinary Judge - but he is the law ... and this is his story. A paperback edition of Michael Molcher’s “I Am The Law” sat on a table next to Colin Jarman and Peter Acton’s “Judge Dredd: The Mega-History”. A hand holding open Molcher’s “I Am The Law” at the “Further Reading” section towards the end of the book. In it we can see reference to Jarman/Acton’s “Judge Dredd: The Mega-History” which sits under this open page. A relevant segment reads: “The key texts about the history of 'Judge Dredd' and 2000 AD are David Bishop's Thrill-power Overload (updated by Karl Stock in 2017 for the comic's fortieth anniversary) and Judge Dredd: The Mega-History by Colin Jarman and Peter Acton. While it only runs up to 1995, the latter is the forensic history of the early years of 'Judge Dredd' and provided much of the historical detail about the strip in this book.“

Hey folks. Been reading Mi'Sel Joe's memoir the last few days.

This one's must-read for Newfoundlanders especially, because it's a memoir that was taken orally of the longtime Mi'kmaq chief of Miawpukek First Nation (Conne River).

It's very down-to-earth & brings it all home for me.

Hooray.

My 200th book was Truth Telling by Michelle Good. Highly recommend, especially for Canadians who take their Indigenous anti-racism seriously. Be prepared to feel uncomfortable, and to sit with some seriously ugly truth.

Rebels at Sea by Eric Jay Dolin

Grade: B

Rebels at sea covers the history of privateers in the American Revolution, and their impact on America’s victory - something I had never heard of. Interesting but not gripping, written as a general historical account.
