@beexcessivelydiverting @bookstodon So, maybe they thought it was about them because of the title.

I suuucked at the games. 😅

But cool to see there was actually a DC one-shot published in 2011.

Anyone have fond memories of this series❓

@thevglibrary @bookstodon I don't think I played it much, but I think I know some of the people who worked on at least one of them.

Discrimination alters the brain.

Racial discrimination increases the activity of brain regions, such as the prefrontal cortex, involved in regulating emotions. The more brain energy a person uses to suppress, control or manage their feelings, the more energy they take away from the rest of the body.

Over time, and without prolonged periods of rest, relief and restoration, this can lead to other problems.

@K8KET @TheConversationUS @blackmastodon Stress leads to this. It's not a disease. It's closer to a poison.

Found out through Sharon Lee & Steve Miller's 'what we have read this year' list that Paladin's Faith was now available (latest of the series by @ursulav ) so that's now on the 'to read once I've done my chores' list.

@bookstodon I'm looking for book recommendations for an 11yo who reads at a much more advanced level. He likes sci-fi. He has read the Hitchhiker's Guide series and loved them. I think he would enjoy some more 'hard' sci-fi as well. He needs something challenging but without subject matter that is too mature. Thanks for any help!

@icastico @rabbit_fighter @bookstodon The Card books are a bit strong and icky in places. Like their author.

@rabbit_fighter @bookstodon I remember going through the Monica Hughes books when I was young, and Nicholas Fisk, and Douglas Hill I think.
I do second the Diane Duane books though (the So you Want to Be a Wizard series - not all of her books are kids ones, probably not the Doors books at this age.)

@joshsusser @actuallyautistic Good info. Was I the only person that had to look up “cromulent”? :-)

@sfwrtr @CavedaleRhones @joshsusser @actuallyautistic Me too. I think my favourite so far is 'ultracrepidarian'
