I don't know how I haven't heard about this #book before. It is like someone tapped into my brain and wrote the weirdly specific thing I was hoping to read.
A #Black poet and evolutionary biologist uses #poetry to describe his reflections on Natural History as it relates to #colonialism.

my partner has begun reading this to me. she often stops and says, "isn't that autism" or something like that.
we also stop and shake our heads at the sexism here and there.
of course, in the 80s, autism didn't exist in its present definition, which was defined in the DSM in 2013. but also of course, who are now diagnosed Autistic people were just as common then, without diagnosis.
#actuallyAutistic
the Martian human in the #book Stranger In A Strange Land by #Heinlein represents the culture of an advanced civilization starkly contrasted with the (literally) ridiculous maze of lies of Earth #culture.
Smith, the Martian human, appears to Earthlings simplistic and dysfunctional and the plot of the book progressively contrasts enlightened Martian culture with primitive and chaotic Earth. we are over halfway through now, and I do find it neuroaffirming, and I wonder what other #actuallyAutistic

" #Antisemitic voices are “no longer on the fringes” of #American culture that #students are exposed to, said panelist Daniel Joslyn-Siemiatkoski at a session discussing a new #book, #Judeophobia and the New Testament: Texts and Contexts (Eerdmans, out now), in which 35 #authors devote chapters to each of the 27 #books of the New Testament plus four extra-canonical texts.
“It’s designed for #teaching, to unpack some of the assumptions about #antisemitism and the locations of students in these issues,” says Joslyn-Siemiatkoski, director of the Center for Christian- #Jewish Learning at Boston College. His own book, Resisting Anti- #Judaism: Practices of Christian Solidarity will be released by Fortress in October 2026.
“These issues are not hypothetical, says Eric Vanden Eykel, associate professor of #religion at Ferrum College and one of three editors of Judeophobia and the New Testament."

I am just learning to play #chess and would like to find an app for the iPhone that 1) I can play offline and 2) doesn't require me to sign in or pay a ton of $$ to play.
Does this exist?
I don't have people to play against IRL.
Paper #book recommendations also welcome, possibly preferable. I think it might be fun to set up my board and run through some games, but I have no idea where to look for any guides like that.

Hey all, looking for #Fediverse authors to add to the end of future blog posts.
I always end an essay or whatever with a call to someone else's book. Like, if you liked this, you might like this book.
The podcast version gets a full synopsis readout. The web version gets a evergreen link. I do not review books, because everyone deserves to be read and enjoyed without my judgement.
So can you tell me what you write and share links to your books? All will be included in future blog posts. I recommend one at a time, one per post, because I want to give that writer space to shine.
Also, while I am MIA, resting, could you boost this?

"From the days of #Miriam, the sister of #Moses and #Aaron, #Jewish #women have been leaders-without-portfolio. In the #Book of #Exodus, Miriam, a “ #prophetess,” leads the #Israelite women in song, but unlike Moses, the main recipient of teaching from God, and Aaron, the chief priest, she has no named role.
Today, women in many denominations of #Judaism are able to attend institutions of higher learning to become equipped with the necessary skills to gain credentials to be called #rabbi or #cantor. What will they do with their newfound titles? A crop of new #books and #TV shows out this fall gives some answers."
Anyways, that's my #bookreview of #zizek and his #book "Christian Atheism: how to be a real materialist" so far.
I'm only past the first chapter but Zizek is dense and I had thoughts I wanted out now.
The cover art is finished for my new book and I LOVE IT!
This safari tour of the life in soil and what it means to us, is now available for pre-order as ebook, soft and hardcover in the UK and Commonwealth. Published in August next year (US date soon), I hope it'll entice everyone to fall in love with soil!
So far there will also be German, Polish and Japanese language versions too!

#BookWyrmSocial is just painfully slow, can the #Fediverse recommend me a better instance?
Edit: I'm talking about https://bookwyrm.social, the main instance.
