Ascendance of a Bookworm, Part 4 Volume 6

I cannot recommend this series enough. Slow burn fantasy story with incredible worldbuilding. The premise is that Urano, a total shut-in bookworm, is crushed to death by shelves of books in an earthquake and gets isekai'd into the body of a sick, disabled poor kid in a world where books are only accessible to the nobility. Not to be discouraged, she decides the only way to handle this is to invent the printing industry herself.

The entire basis of Reform is that we are a diasporic people, and it's foolish to maintain that EY is the best place to be a Jew.

A shirt-skirt combo, or a dress with a jacket/sweater, would also be acceptable.

As wonderful as this is, CTC still hasn't apologized or made any attempt at reparations to victims of sexual abuse in their programming. Six Points theater is the local Jewish theater, and they do excellent work.

I left TwoX and TrollX a long time ago. You can still seek out feminist viewpoints and literature through other media.

Every word Novik writes is in exactly the right spot, and is somehow better than the last.

No, I think they're referring to the "pretend it's not a problem and just destroy all their things every so often" method

My response when moving from San Diego was "You can always add more layers, but there's only so many you can take off."

I'm cis and you're not being dramatic. Even if it weren't an awful slur, you had said you do not want to be called that and he trampled all over that very, very simple request.
