Robert Sanscartier<p>While some of these climate activists are well-known, many others have been overlooked by mainstream media and even by the wider climate justice movement. This is particularly true for climate activists with marginalised identities: Indigenous people and other people of colour, who are most likely to be directly impacted by the worst consequences of climate change, but whose work is often sidelined while white, Western activists are centred<br><a href="https://bookriot.com/books-about-climate-activists/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bookriot.com/books-about-clima</span><span class="invisible">te-activists/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ClimateStrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateStrike</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climate</span></a></p>

Patch Arcana<p>Book Promotion: Since the tragedy of 1994, Agency Division have weilded their authority over matters arcane with relative impunity. Enforcers like Vidcund Därk, collectively known as the Men in Black, serve a single purpose - the absolute eradicaton of magic and those who would use it. This is not an uncommon goal - a group of rogue arcanists known as the Grey Angels have much the same outcome in mind. When a respected mathematics professor obtains a translated copy of the <u>Pnakotic Manuscripts</u>, the hunt is on to determine how he got hold of it. But soon, a bigger crisis unfolds - one that Agency Division can’t keep under wraps.</p><p><a href="https://www.sanityline.net" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">sanityline.net</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/readers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>readers</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/fedibookfair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fedibookfair</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/dystopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dystopia</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/urbanfantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>urbanfantasy</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/adventure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adventure</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>action</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/thriller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thriller</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/series" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>series</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://furry.engineer/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reading</span></a></p>

Robert Kingett<p>I now declare you should never, ever, ever, take a <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Goodreads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Goodreads</span></a> review seriously in any capacity. Every time I read a mystery book, there are tons of reviews that say, as an example, there’s way too many mystery elements in this mystery genre! I’m not joking. Every time I read a Romantasy book, as another example, everyone is like, I don’t understand why the central plot has romance! Maybe that’s because you’re not fucking reading a fantasy book? You’re reading a romance book with fantasy as the secondary element. What did you think Romantasy was? Fantasy with a typo? God I hate Goodreads reviews. If you’re an author, you should never, ever, fret over their reviews because no one that reviews a book on that website knows what they are reading. <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a></p>
