I read _I'll Have What He's Having_ by Adib Khorram, and I loved it.

This sounds great and I'll definitely see if my library has it.
BUT. That caveat. Wow.
I write and try-to-read in Paranormal Women's Fiction and the number of leads who complain that they're Sooooo Ooooold when they're just turning 40 is... depressing and annoying. No, you don't instantly become a fucking fossil the second that first number becomes a 4. Yowza.

„The Mayan Languages Digital Activism (ADLM, for its initials in Spanish) is a program that promotes community digital activism projects in Mayan language-speaking communities, mainly in the states of Chiapas and the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. In 2024, the third cohort of this program has been selected and includes ten speakers of Mayan languages chosen for their community proposals that stood out.“

And so this is Bandcamp Friday, he said, perverting a John Lennon lyric.
A lot of stuff from PCI, I mean, a pretty large catalog. A few gems, I think, where I nailed an exciting mix of accessible, cross-genre, good beat, and subverting some of pop culture’s norms I grew up with in the 1970s.
By the way, not only did disco not suck, some of it was real good, and why did Tank-Top Bob hate dancing?

Che vergogna porcoddd che imbarazzo questo va oltre il fascismo questo è proprio essere irrimediabilmente imbecilli, ottusi, bannare il cricket ma come ti viene in mente
"The ban on cricket has come to symbolise the deep-seated tensions that are flaring up in Monfalcone.
The town has an ethnic make-up unique in Italy: of a population of just over 30,000, nearly a third are foreigners. Most of them are Bangladeshi Muslims who began to arrive in the late 1990s to build giant cruise-ships.
As a consequence the cultural essence of Monfalcone is in danger, according to mayor Anna Maria Cisint, who belongs to the far-right League party.
She swept to power on the back of anti-immigration sentiment - and has gone on a mission to “protect” her town and defend Christian values."
@gilesgoat a Grosseto c'era un edificio fatiscente in ex cento storico, l'ex cinema Marraccini, qualche anno fa la comunità musulmana, nella persona giuridica di non so chi, voleva acquistarlo per farci una moschea.
Immaginati il putiferio, LORO che vengono a pregare nel NOSTRO centro storico? Polemiche su polemiche.
Assolutamente no, non glielo fecero fare. L'edificio è rimasto fatiscente e inguardabile fino a forse l'anno scorso, ora lo stanno ristrutturando.
Pensano di mostrarsi forti (nei confronti di chi, poi?), ma si mostrano solo molto, molto deboli

Depuis la nomination de Michel-Barnier, je regarde ces " #chaines-info"
et c’est fou comment ils sont (étaient) prêt et préparé
ils s’était préparés, car une telle maitrise dans le “déboulonnage” des #cerveaux-disponibles, aussi rapidement …
pas besoin d’“élucide” ou d’“arret sur image”
il suffit de regarder 1/4d’h une de ces chaînes, et tout est clair !
