Top 5 Wednesday

https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/118368-top-5-wednesday

Topic: Rainy Day Reads

I struggled with this topic. Many of the books I selected could also apply to “books you could read in a day,” but there are also some that I think would take multiple days to read. What I was really looking for with these picks was that they had the right atmosphere, or evoked a certain feeling in me. Because it’s such a subjective way of choosing what books I thought worked with this topic, I couldn’t really explain why these books are on this list. At best I could come up with a couple of sentences.  

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness: This is the perfect book for a rainy day. Haunting black and white images accompanying a tragic story.  

2. The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers: Gives you those warm feels on a cold spring day.

3. Robert Frost poems: It’s been awhile since I’ve read one, but they’ve always stood out to me. Transports you to a serene natural landscape and all have a very sublime tone to them that resonates in you.  

4. Nightfall by Jake Halpern and Peter Kujawinski: Suspenseful survival story set on a dark, cold, and wet island.

5. The Devourers by Indra Das: This is one I really can’t recommend to younger readers or people triggered by gore and sexual assault. That being said it’s a very lush, atmospheric, mature read that deals with difficult topics.

SIX DARK BOOKS WITH PLANTS ON THE COVER

🌟 New Post Alert 🌟 Plants are the most wondrous thing, and it's no secret that I love books with beautiful flora on the cover. Toda, I'm sharing SIX DARK BOOKS WITH PLANTS ON THE COVER for #TopFiveTuesday!

Mabuhay, friends! Houseplants are one of the areas in my life that I always try to be good with but eventually, fail at. I’ve tried tending to herbs, cacti, succulents and vegetables but they always end up dying. Yet that never stops me trying to figure out how to tend a garden. For now, my growing collection of books with plants on the cover will have to do. So, here are some recommendations…

This is a good time to remind everyone to swap from Apple to Android the next time they have the means and need to get a new phone

Android phones are almost universally...

Cheaper

More durable

More customizable

Faster & more reliable

Less likely to remove perfectly workable features just because they are "old"

Better for pirating media

Y'all have got to stop enabling Apple's insistence on being a fashion brand rather than providing electronics that respect your autonomy and decision making powers.

Next time you have a choice in the matter, go Android. One minute of being able to actually browse your file architecture without jumping through proprietary bullshit and you'll be hooked, I promise.

Anyway if you all are sick of watching White Lady (and White Dude) Leftist content talking about popular fandoms and internet culture, check out some of these creators on Youtube. Not an exhaustive list, feel free to add your own. I tried to stick to a similar theme, but there is some variation.

Harriyanna Hook, who focuses on nostalgic properties through the lense of a black woman.

Jacob Geller, a Jewish man who does deep dives into various media. Mostly horror and sci-fi.

Kennie JD, a black woman that does this excellent series called bad movies and a beat every week on Saturday. A series where she reviews bad movies (often terrible romantic comedies and bad horror movies) while putting on her makeup.

D'Angello Wallace, a black man that focuses on internet culture, media, and people of interest. Sometimes shorter videos, sometimes deep dives. He used to be an art channel but now focuses more on culture than art.

Xiran Jay Zhao, a Chinese woman in who looks at media and focuses on the tokenism and appropriation of Asian culture.

T1J, who talks about culture, media, and social issues through the lens of a black man. He also has big Dad Energy.

Lady Knight The Brave, a Jewish woman who does deep dives into various media, often ones that have big fandoms attached.

Ada on Demand. A black woman that talks about social issues and culture, with a focus on pop culture.

Reignbot, a Filipino non-binary person that focuses their content on horror and ARGs and true crime.

Tee Noir, who focuses on various media, culture, and social platforms through the lens of a black queer woman.

do you know how long the romanticised Persephone retelling has been around? I don't know if it's because I move in different circles or whatever but I'd never encountered it before tumblr.

when I was taught about it growing up, it was as a myth of a mother's grief and loss taking life from the land, and that's the part that stuck with me - but I'm from a farming family so maybe that's why the takeaway was the impact on crops

yeah i've only really seen it on tumblr but i've been on tumblr since i was like fourteen so like. it's a big part of my experience with the myth anyway
