I like science fiction, science fact, situated feminisms, and speculative fabulations.

Nicholas Tampio: Learning versus the Common Core (Paperback, University of Minnesota Press)

Review of 'Learning versus the Common Core' on 'Goodreads'

This book is odd to me because this series is usually so rigorous—this book doesn't even have references! I can understand many criticisms of Common Core but this is written by (and for) the aggrieved parent-activist, not the professor of political theory.

I should have just read some John Dewey lol

Fritz Leiber, Jeff Jones: The Swords of Lankhmar (Paperback, 1968, Ace Books, Inc.)

Review of 'The Swords of Lankhmar' on 'Goodreads'

Enjoyable. Wasn't sure I was going to like the single-story structure compared to the short stories of past volumes but by the end it grew on me. The alien guy on the cover didn't stick around for long though, which was odd.

Cool ghoul. Sheelba and Ningauble content always a highlight.

A lot could be said about racialization in this volume.
