If I cling to fiction, reality can't hurt me, I say as both reality and fiction kick me in the kidneys. (she/her)

31: A Long and Speaking Silence - Nghi Vo. Another lovely instalment in this series, that did feel almost like a prequel in the protagonist's youngness.

30: The Calculating Stars - Mary Robinette Kowal. This is wildly fun, with history and speculation hand-in-hand. Inexplicably the second is going to be a pain in the backside to source affordably?

@silverewings I understand German well enough that I can get away with it too, so then I get complacent and miss bits!

[Corinne @Coz_Cat]

@silverewings I definitely would watch it again! I'm so tired I fear swathes were lost on me, and I always struggle with German stuff as I'll tune out from the subtitles and then realise I did not understand something critical 🤡

[Corinne @Coz_Cat]

@silverewings what did you think?

[Corinne @Coz_Cat]

@silverewings I really enjoyed it! was also enjoying eavesdropping on the post movie commentary of the women in their fifties behind me, they thought exactly what I thought about the American journalist

Fatherland was significantly less depressing than anticipated! and by that I mean I don't want to crawl into a hole now

[Corinne @Coz_Cat]

taking myself out for a MIFF film (Fatherland) tonight and a Malthouse show (Break of Day) tomorrow night and it's rather lovely how going alone means I am absolutely repeating this outfit

P.E in Australia is literally this. Even the kids who would normally bring in an exemption note for P.E didn't bring one in for Nutbush lessons

Absolutely huge turnout for striking school staff

Imagine death penalty for Christians only, for Jews only, for Bavarians or Parisians only. People belonging to a group presumed guilty and deprived of civilians status.

Only because they want to live as a people. Free on their land.

This is what colonial repression looks like.
