Good Morning Mastodon! Hope you’re all ok? Today I’m currently reading Mad Sisters of Esi by Tasha Mehta for some beautiful weird fiction. What are you reading at the moment?

1/2 Enraged Israeli spokes people are a very common sight on Western TV these days, but this exchange between Sky's Kay Burley and Israel's Eylon Levy seem to set a new low.
Speaking to Levy about Israel's decision to handover 150 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for 50 Israeli children and babies, Burley said she had spoken “to a hostage negotiator” about the discrepancy in the numbers. He made the comparison between the 50 hostages that Hamas has promised to release as opposed to the 150 prisoners that are Palestinians and Israel has said that it will release, [...] Does Israel not think that Palestinian lives are valued as highly as Israeli lives?"
#BanalityOfEvil [repost] “A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: A Palestine Story”
About the Palestinian children Israel sent to jail. An edited extract from “A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: A Palestine Story”, which was recently published by Allen Lane.
“In her work as a doctor with #UNRWA, the UN relief and works agency for Palestinian refugees, Huda saw things that made her afraid for her sons. She had witnessed a soldier shoot a boy who threw a stone at a tank. The soldiers stopped her from going to help him as he fell to the ground. At home in Sawahre, listening to the nightly news of West Bank killings and closures, she had trouble sleeping. She knew Hadi was out throwing stones.”
How do my #actuallyautistic and #AUDHD folks figure out how to task switch to something even approximating relaxation from work or is this just not possible? Any strategies anyone uses?
@dr_rug_pull I agree that I tend to use music to detox after meetings, at least when working from home. Sometimes I use minor tasks that I find interesting to detox as well. Or podcasts. #ActuallyAutistic#AuDHD@actuallyautistic
I don't talk about this much because I suck at promoting myself, but for those of you who weren't aware, I published some books. Three of them are a fantasy trilogy still available via Carina Press, under the pen name of Angela Highland. The other two are books 1 and 2 of an urban fantasy series, self-published under my actual name, Angela Korra'ti.
And since I continue to be unemployed AF right now, if I could make anything at all off of sales to new readers, that'd sure be super helpful right now.
@annathepiper tagging @bookstodon for better reach... to that audience: Anna is a very addictive storyteller, and I wait with 'bated breath for at least two more novels from her, one of which I had the honour of beta reading... a feast for the eyes after all that turkey.
Congratulations to @drrobertchapman.bsky.social , whose new book, "Empire of Normality," out today, is a radical critique of capitalism from a pro-neurodiversity perspective. It's brilliant. My endorsement is here. https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745348667/empire-of-normality/
