ngl boeing and boston showing up in the preview together for next week's episode had me laughing out loud because it just took me so off guard

like say what you will about the plot cohesion and character arcs etc. etc. and it's all fair! but also objectively i must admit that it is soooo funny to me that boeing was introduced to the show purely to be yeeted around from one couple to the next like he's Only Friends' gay version of a final boss level enemy that each pairing must battle against in order to win their happy relationship endgames

Rereading some of my favorite young adult series, and reminded of some of the best things to quote in daily life.

"You find Celaena Sardothien. Give her this. No one else. No one else. Tell her that you can open any door, if you have the key.

And tell her to remember her promise to me—to punish them all.

When she asks why, tell her I said that they would not let me bring the cloak she gave me, but I kept a piece of it.

To remember that promise she made.

To remember to repay her for a warm cloak in a cold dungeon."

What does ‘saati’ mean? I always assumed from your tag that it was a Jewish/Hebrew word that meant a close friend, but I googled it and it doesn’t turn up anything?

It’s actually from a Tamora Pierce series! In universe it means a true friend/friends who are family (sometimes it can mean closer than family/ chosen sister.

Daja Kisubo from Tamora Pierce’s Circle of Magic series

Relevant Skills: affinity for and control over metals (including high heat tolerance), has living metal in her hand and is skilled at making things with it (eg a prosthetic leg), has a quarter staff and is unafraid to whack people with it, pretty sure she’s trained in hand to hand combat and how to take a fall, grew up in a seafaring trading family

Other info: calm demeanor, used to getting along with prickly people but watch out if she gets angry - she definitely has a temper. Orphaned and banished from her people after being the lone survivor of a shipwreck, regains her position after saving a large number of people from an enormous wildfire

Name: Daja Kisubo

Age: 14 (From what I read, that seems to be her age)

Restrictions: No magical abilities

I’m on to Lirael now, alternately laughing (Lirael’s overwrought imagining of her beautiful death and funeral is just so plucked-directly-from-the-mind-of-a-teenage-girl, bless) and tearing up (her conversation with Filris), and the line that always makes me go flat out snotty:

‘You needed a friend,’ said the Dog. ‘I came.’

"As readers, let’s read with intention, dig books off the shelves we haven’t read in a while, share from their wisdom."

Thank you to all the authors whose works we have read and re-read and given us meaning through their words, and thank you to all our listeners who share with us what our words have meant to them.

We love you all.
