Best Books In The History Of Time....

So I was feeling a little nostalgic (along with wanting to avoid my homework) last night, and I decided it was time for a re-read of my favorite books of all time: The Queens's Thief books by Megan Whalen Turner. YES!

There are several reason why these books are awesome, but the main one is her writing style and ability. The most nuanced and sneaky plots (especially in the 3rd book), the funniest dialogue, and the most clever main character of all time. Did I say of all time already? Well, it's true. And I am a book person. A very critical book person.

LOVE.

Sometimes my heart is broken.

Sometimes I think about how screwed up the world is.

Sometimes I think about becoming a socialist.

Sometimes I think about trying to ignore the burden of injustice.

Why did I choose this subject to study? It makes me cry. It makes me feel helpless and small.

Sometimes I think about Elia and the Longview trailer park.

And my Kindergartners, who are now First Graders.

And I want to change the world, even though that sounds dumb.

conservative "facebook friends" and the things they post sometimes..

Kimberly Icebreaker Rixon can feel the feminism, socialism, and (probably not really at all) righteous anger bubbling up inside her... that means that it is time to get off facebook and instead watch Dr Who.

(See the post somewhere down below about not being able to communicate post-Mission Year ideas...)

So, the history of social welfare in the US is sort of depressing. Just finished the chapter on Child Welfare..
