@eveewing.bsky.social's 'Original Sins' is a necessary piece on the origins of the American education system. When even Home Ec isn't just about food within a system that, at its core, is meant to control differing populations, where do we go from here?

'The Man in my Basement' by Walter Mosley is an excellent show of power not being just a physical state but a mental, psychological hold as we watch the main character bend to the will of a man who seemingly has no control at all.

Sad that I have a whole workday standing in between me and finishing 'Hole in the Sky' by @danielhwilsonpdx.bsky.social .

First contact, visions of the future, & mysterious bruise tattoos of DNA?
Sold.

What lengths are you willing to go to to save humanity's future?

'The Final Orchard' by @cjriveraauthor.bsky.social is a mix of Hugh Howey (Silo) &
Kazuo Ishiguro (Never Let Go), with a few twists and an ending begging for a part 2

Feels like 2025 is my year to go back to a love of Vampires. First, 'Buffalo Hunter Hunter' by @sgj.bsky.social , Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' , and now 'Blood Slaves' by @markusredmond.bsky.social . What a year for horror!

'An Unkindness of Ghosts' by @riverssolomon.bsky.social explores gender, race, and class through the eyes of an MC who wants to heal.

Star Trek this is not. The HSS Matilda has long journey ahead before a Utopia can be met for all its inhabitants.

Good classic read from 1931. With a "cure" for Blackness, can folks escape the bigotry that has been holding them back?

What happens to culture and communities when people are offered the ability to blend in and lean into whiteness?

I really wanted to like this book. "This is Not a Ghost Story" by Amerie has an interesting premise but the execution and landing really threw me.

'More Perfect' by @Temi Oh is like the tech of "The Entire History of You" (S1 E3 of 'Black Mirror') but several decades in the future. The world it creates, the danger with such technology is both exhilarating and frightening.

Current read: 'Model Home' by Rivers Solomon

Told from the viewpoint of a nonbinary main character, it's the paranormal meets white supremacy meets familial trauma wherein 3 adult siblings try to find out what really happened to their parents.

Interesting concept but left with quite a few questions. A sci fi grappling with the idea of loss.

When a cure for cancer becomes a cure for mortality.

Gotta love a tale of a nanite future and the inevitable imagining of, 'How quickly will this be militarized?'"

This book eloquently brings a magnifying glass to the juxtaposition between western culture's "civility" vs its continued abuses and atrocities aimed at those deemed "other".
