“We have a window now that is rapidly closing where we could do something,” said Dr. Steven Goodman, a professor of epidemiology and medicine at Stanford University. “In a few weeks, kids may go back to school in some places, the flu season will hit and people will no longer be able to be outside. Once that happens, then all our control measures change dramatically.” Yet, even if new lockdowns are enacted in some regions of the country, they shouldn’t be seen as a panacea. While strict stay-at-home orders can dramatically reduce the number of new infections, states need to meticulously plan for what to do after restrictions are lifted — something that was not handled as well following the March lockdowns, according to Justin Lessler, an associate professor of infectious disease epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health. “Those of us in the epidemiological community have been saying that lockdowns aren’t a permanent solution — they’re about buying time,” Lessler said. “The problem with the U.S. response has been that it lacks a clear, long-term plan beyond hoping for a vaccine.”

Who are the Goodmans?

"The Goodmans" is my first attempt at an all-human story! And it's set in the early 2000/2010s!!

After the events of the world wars, different countries banded together to add certain laws, the most notable being that:

War is illegal, and a world leader would be sentenced to death if they attempted to start one

There is a legal limit to how much money a person can have.-- Billionaires are legally obligated to donate their money or give back to the bottom, the world poverty rate is at an all-time low!

The setting is based around the characters Denise and Oscar Goodman :3 a wealthy dad and his daughter who live in a van and travel the world.

Wendy Swan, the tall blonde lady, is Denise's ballet teacher! She and Oscar seem to have tension.

Bold = Highly Recommend Italics = Worth It Crossed out = Nope

Thoughts:

The Invisible Kingdom is a memoir recounting a woman’s struggle with getting a diagnosis for her chronic illnesses, and I have never felt so seen or represented. It will easily be a top five read of the year, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Two reads this month were highly anticipated: Rivals and Tokyo Dreaming. I had low expectations for Rivals because book two of the series was such a letdown, but it was a return to the fun of American Royals. I’m still waiting for this series to be turned into a dishy drama. And Tokyo Dreaming was a disappointment. It lacked the spark of Tokyo Ever After.

Looking for a Ted Lasso-inspired read? Check out Everything for You. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the books in this series, and this one was particularly charming.

Joining @oldshrewsburyian for Robin Hood Summer? Or just want a delightful and very loose retelling with “be gay, do crimes” vibes? Look no further than The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes. I could spend many more hours with this Rob and Marian (both bi disasters). Technically, this is book two in a series. I think you’d be ok diving right into this one if you can stand a little confusion; however, book one is also worthwhile. Here’s hoping this series continues for several more installments.

Goodreads Goal: 191/250 (moved this goal up from 200)

June 1964

Detroit, MI

"The commercial ended and a newscaster said, 'In national news today, the search continues for three young civil rights workers who are missing in Mississippi.'

'What?' Daddy said."

" 'Mississippi?' Melody repeated. 'That's where Yvonne is going,' she said in a small voice. Earlier that month, Yvonne had called home to tell them she'd been accepted to the Mississippi Summer Project. Instead of coming home when her college classes finished, she was going to Ohio for training...."

[news in story talks about real event of disappearance of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner]

"Melody felt the same knot in her tummy that she'd felt when she first heard about the four little girls who had died in the church bombing in Birmingham...

Then Melody had a horrible thought. 'Do you think Vonnie is all right?'

'I pray she is safe,' Mommy said. But she looked very concerned."

Melody: Never Stop Singing by Denise Lewis Patrick

In real life, the Mississippi Summer Project/Freedom Summer and the deaths of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner are recent enough that they would be in their 70s now if they had lived. It was more than 40 years after their murders that the white supremacist who murdered them was brought to justice.

Hi. I wondered if you could recommend literature about Marie Antoinette? Literature in an academic kind of way, so no novels etc. (except if you know a novel about her which is historically acurate?)

Hi!

If you're looking for more academic-style works,

Marie Antoinette at Petit Trianon: Heritage Interpretation and Visitor Perceptions by Denise Maior-Barron

Marie Antoinette: Writings on the Body of a Queen edited by Dena Goodman

are two good options.

Here is a more general list from 2019, again non-exhaustive, off the top of my head John Hardman's book  is a newer one that’s not on there, he did a very interesting fresh analysis of MA's correspondence with Barnave that I think makes at least that aspect of the book a must-read.

Oh I also highly recommend looking up thesis and general academic articles, there's so many fascinating academic works out there... I should make a list soon of my favorites. They often cover niche topics!

If you’re looking for a novel, the novel version of ‘Farewell My Queen’ is mostly grounded/realistic (except for one element) as its essentially the author’s take on a 19th century memoir.

Every year I try to challenge myself beyond just the number read but to also branch out and try to expand my reading life. Not a numerical goal or a percentage or anything, just to make an effort to read beyond my comfort zone. It doesn't always lead me to falling in love with a genre but I have discovered books and authors I was missing out on and broadened my horizons. In 2019 I tried to read more sci-fy, 2020 it was more YA.

In 2021 my challenge was to read more nonfiction and I believe I've succeeded in that goal and actually really enjoyed myself in the process. I'd never read much nonfiction, didn't think it was "for me" but now I think its definitely something I want to integrate more into my reading going forwards!

[enbouton]

Last season, Kim got in trouble with Paige because she reneged on her commitment to Mesa Verde to take care of her other client Denise— but that’s not the whole story. If Kim had just shrugged and moved on when Denise failed to show up in court, she would have been free to take Paige’s call. Kim’s willingness to go out of her way for someone in need was her downfall in that scene, even as it’s a huge credit to her and the type of lawyer that she is.

And now we see Kim scamming a client to keep him from ruining his life. When Bobby can’t or won’t understand that he’s either going to jail for five months or for several years, she manipulates him into choosing the best option he has. Again, this wouldn’t have happened if Kim hadn't cared about what was going to happen to him. (Contrast this with Jimmy’s contempt for his clients— “rain or shine, these morons’ll be out there doing stupid shit and getting arrested for it”.) She does it under pressure from Jimmy, and she feels awful about it afterwards, but the choice she makes in the moment is consistent with things she’s already done of her own free will.

I’m interested to see Kim continuing down this path after being wracked with guilt over what she and Jimmy did to Chuck in “Chicanery”, and confronting the unsatisfying reality of All Mesa Verde All The Time in subsequent episodes. I’m especially interested to see her doing it while being horrified at the path Jimmy is taking, which is a much more self-serving style of scamming rooted in some deep anger at the world. For a while there, Kim seemed to be discovering what kind of lawyer she wanted to be: a lawyer who’s willing to break the rules as long as justice is served (see Huell) and no one gets hurt (see Lubbock). My question is, is that approach sustainable when your partner is rapidly turning into Saul Goodman?

[12u3ie]

I’ve researched certain events from the 1950-60s Civil Rights Movement. 

I researched the conditioning of black children to think that they’re inferior to white children. 

I interviewed the younger sister of Denise McNair, who along with three other young black girls aged 11-14 were killed when Klansmen bombed their church. She never got to see her sister. Ever. 

I researched the deaths of James Chaney, Michael Schwerner, and Andrew Goodman who were all murdered by the KKK the first day of the 1964 Freedom Summer Project, which aimed to get more black people registered to vote in Mississippi. Chaney was a black southerner; Schwerner and Goodman were white. If it weren’t for the fact that two white men were murdered, the story would not have been covered or even remembered.

Racism is still happening. Don’t pretend it isn’t. Yes, laws are in place to protect POC, but not nearly enough.

History is repeating itself. It’s time to fucking listen.
