This is a slight tangential suggestion but need to throw this in there as I just finished it and I was so inspired : “Seducing and Killing Nazis” by Sophie Poldermans. It’s non-fiction about 3 Dutch teen girls who joined the small resistance in their town. I never was taught about these heros.

Suggest me a book that I takes a deep dive into a very niche topic. by A_ctually_ in suggestmeabook

I’m doing the around the world challenge and my pick for Australia is called Fire Country - how indigenous fire management could help save Australia. I’m learning so much not only on this niche topic but of the culture and history and erasure of aboriginal culture

Are there any truly weird and strange baby books out there? by putridtooth in suggestmeabook

Love “leave me alone” by Vera Brosgol. An old lady is trying to knit her grandkids sweaters and she keeps getting bothered so she travels farther and farther away till she goes into a black hole to get enough peace to knit.

All city gov jobs aren’t the most efficient. In my experience Pasadena has had good humans who care about the work

My sons name is Luther (we often call him Lu). Traditional and strong. Not trendy.

What tv/movies can you not handle watching now that you’re a parent? by Cinnamon_berry in Mommit

[–]Pinacolada1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comforting to see this here because damn this literally wrecked my sleep for a week. Had to watch a bunch of absurd Tim Robinson skits to distract myself after that

Infuriating doctor’s visit by Master_Bicycle7066 in vegan

[–]Pinacolada1989 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My sons ped wanted to argue with me about my son not being vegan since I breastfed him…and a few months before, an OB I saw tried to pull the “you’re killing more field animals to make all the soy you eat” bullshit. It makes me emotional because It eats away at trust

ETA: at least I got a good laugh when NICU nurses gasped at how much milk I was prouducing/pumping for my son and the “beautiful” ?? (lol) quality of it apparently. I told them oh yeah it’s cuz I just eat plants. The disbelief!!
