If you need some reading materials, The West Review will send you 5 books for $30 or one every month for $10/month.
Okay, so I actually read quite a bit more this week

Disappointed to see @wearewildfang partnering with TOMS. The founder spoke at an event sponsored by the anti-LGBT Focus on the Family. His work is also highlighted on the website of The Gathering, a powerful part of the anti-trans hate movement.
Hi, most annoying person you’ve ever encountered here! I noticed this post you wrote in 3 seconds doesn’t line up with every experience I’ve ever had. This is extremely harmful to me, the main character of the universe,
Anyways. Catch me on Twitter or Instagram or go buy something from my shop & let’s be friends.
Have a good weekend!
