ClareR (5603 KP) rated We Should All be Feminists in Books
May 4, 2019
What does feminism mean today? This explains what it means and offers a 20th century definition: inclusion and awareness. She points out institutional behaviours as well as blatant discrimination. She uses personal experiences to illustrate how bad this can be and what it means to be a woman today. Fantastic stuff!
Oh, and if you want to know whether I’d recommend it (the answer is yes), you only have to look at the example of Sweden, where they hand a copy of this book out to all teenagers, boys included, to read.

Fast game to play
This was a quick little game. Since it is a two-player, my friend and I played it while our DM put the last few touches on a one-off D&D campaign. It took about 20 minutes from learning to play to checking the final scores. I enjoyed the puzzle aspect of the game, though I don't always have the spatial awareness to determine how a piece would fit on my board so my piece of patchwork had many holes!

Jun 6, 2019
Elohim is an artist and producer based in Los Angeles, California. Not too long ago, she released a new version of her “F*ck Your Money” single, entitled, “FYM (Rock Mafia Remix)”, featuring rapper Wiz Khalifa.
‘FYM (Rock Mafia Remix)’ contains a relatable storyline, harmonious vocals, and lush instrumentation flavored with electro-pop and hip-hop elements.
The likable tune follows last week’s release of Elohim’s new EP, entitled, “BRAINDEAD”.
The 7-track project explores Elohim’s courageous struggle with mental health, a centerpiece of her artistry and songwriting since day one.
The release of “BRAINDEAD” is timed with the month of May in support of Mental Health Awareness Month.

Ross (3282 KP) rated Plastic Ono Band by John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band in Music
Jul 6, 2020
Rolling Stone's 23rd greatest album of all time
Tiresome self-indulgent rubbish from the former Beatle. Songs about his abandonment by his parents and psychological torture show a certain amount of self-discovery (I am assuming some form of yogic therapy allowed him to revisit times in his childhood). However completely lacking in self-awareness as he used to beat his first wife and he himself abandoned his first son in favour of increasing amounts of fame. It just seems that he has now earned enough money to be safe for life and has discovered certain drugs and spiritual awakenings and is now trying to rewrite his history. The music is also pretty boring.

A Gem of a porno
I avoided this podcast for a while because I didn't understand that it was a comedy, but once I took the plunge (thinking it would be actual erotica), I have not stopped forcing this podcast down the throats of others, and I've converted every single one. If you, like me, get fatigued with the darkness and tragedy in the world, you need porno day (Mondays) in your life. It's a great way to start off your week with some genuine belly laughs.
Awix (3310 KP) rated The Future (2011) in Movies

I am not usually much given to violent thoughts but I would be willing to head-butt everyone involved in this profoundly irritating piece of pretentious whimsy. A couple adopt Paw-Paw the cat, but realise this basically heralds the loss of their youth and impending deaths (no, really) so they set about exploring life to the fullest before the cat actually turns up. All manner of nonsense takes place, narrated by Paw-Paw the cat himself (voiced by July in a little yowly voice).
It is all done with a level of basic technical competency, but the film's total lack of self awareness (July genuinely seems to think she's making something profound, not completely absurd) makes it a fantastically annoying and frustrating experience. The cinematic experience of nails down a blackboard for an hour and a half.

Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Animal Atlas (An Animal Planet Book) in Books
Jun 18, 2018
Animal Planet Animal Atlas by Animal Atlas is a wonderful book for children of all ages. I especially liked how the book was categorized by continents and biomes. The pictures were colorful and really enhance the information. While the story does not go in detail about the animals it does provide a lot of facts that are interesting.
The book highlights Human and Roar. Human shows readers similarities between humans and animal behaviors. Roar shows conservation and endangered species facts that helps bring awareness. As the book is read, you feel like you are traveling throughout the world learning neat facts. It is a book that is perfect for kindergarteners and older. A great book for any child that enjoys nature, animals, and facts.
I received this advanced readers copy from Time Inc. Books and Liberty Street via NetGalley.

Chloe (514 KP) rated Inside Out (2015) in Movies
Mar 5, 2019
Not really sure what age this is ranged at because although everything seems very child friendly and like a typical Disney movie the hidden themes suggest otherwise. To be honest though I think they did a good job for presenting these themes.
I watched this when I was about 17 and found it ok if a bit simplified in some area which is to be expected it being mainly family orientated but to be honest I love a bit of Disney to cheer me up although obviously I didn't get that from this.
Despite my personal tastes the movie itself has a good solid plot and a relatable and identifiable character as the main character is just experiencing regular life. I did like how they didn't shy away from presenting what happens when you can be in a bad situation as it increases awareness.

If I could give this book 10 stars I would!! I loved that it was set in my own parish and town where I live! The story was hard and difficult at times because of the intense storyline that is going on. It will make you cry but other times it'll make you smile and cheer along with the characters. Julie included so many hard circumstances, that are plaguing our society right now and I think we need more books on these situations. I feel like this book could open up so many conversations that need to happen. Many people don't want to deal with the tragedies that befall us but this book could really help them see they are not alone! Our world needs more awareness of these tragic events that are happening. Truly truly loved this book and the message it gave. You are Loved..always remember that people!
