Absolutely adorable, in fact, in a sort of "Of-course-this-teleport-I'm-offering-you-won't-set-you-down-in-the-midst-of-a-blazing-brazier" kind of way. She's also terrifying, in a way, because she's probably the most perceptive person I've ever known here, and she can see right through me . . . Thank god she's gentle. Even when she's trying to immolate me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the book, but I think I've seen it advertised on the subway here. I will check it out (even if it's not "chicklit" -- I've decided to try expanding my library to books that don't end in marriage or feature slightly crazed but lovable bff characters! ). I'm always looking for really effective and affecting articulations of feminism, LGBTQ and Trans-positive thinking, or perspectives on POC in literature because they can be really powerful teaching tools. It's not hard to explain social justice in logical or polemical terms, but I've always believed that literature can be an especially effective supplement because they engage the empathetic imagination: they help us see things differently through consciousness and experiences that are not our own. They humanize abstractions. I think that's what makes them pleasurable in a way that theoretical arguments and tables of stats never can be (as useful as those are as well). You are well, I hope? Have you been helping Snugs keep Maddy out of trouble? 1. There aren't any. 2. Empathetic is an inappropriate and meaningless vulgarism. 3. And the phrase is a redundant tautology of pleonasm. Like the first enboldened example, (evocative would suffice). Empathy is imagination. Edited March 23, 2017 by Derek Torvalar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Mistwood Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 It's nice to see some names I haven't seen in a long time. There are still a few missing voices though. Some of them not allowed back due to forum bans or complete SL bans, but I miss the trouble-makers some days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalytha Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 People need to hurry up and find their way back. I need some good controversial, thought provoking threads to pop up and keep me from real life obligations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
