" February comes when we are sick of winter. Wishing to do her best, she ventures her spring costume: crocus, primrose and daffodil days. Ah no! We know March is to come with its frosts, a plunge back into the winter which poor February tried to flatter us was over. "

- A. A. Milne

I remember thinking it was odd that Silver and Sebek ended up doing most of the work saving the egg in the dream world when, in reality, it would have been Lilia and Baul making the treacherous journey on their own.

But then I also remembered that Lilia injured himself saving Silver's life at the fortress. He never would've done something like that in the real past. Him rendering himself weak to protect Silver directly led to Silver carrying him and the egg to Maleficia's castle.

Book of the Month - February 2025 - Memory Mambo by Achy Obejas

This month’s book is Memory Mambo by Achy Obejas, originally published 1996. Fiction.

The power and meaning of memory lie at the heart of Obejas's (“We Came All the Way from Cuba So You Could Dress Like This?”) insightful and excellent second work of fiction. With a prose so crisp, the book could pass for a biography, Obejas introduces Juani Casas, a Cuban-born American lesbian in her early 20s who manages her family's Laundromat in a Cuban neighborhood of Chicago. Juani walks a fine line between being out about her sexuality and being discrete enough not to alienate her family. Her family, after all, is central to her sense of belonging, and Obejas portrays that complex web with vivid and original characterization. The tone is set by Juani's need to know the truth about her family's life in Cuba...did her father really invent duct tape, and are the scenes of beaches and lush vegetation actual memories, or visualizations of stories told to her? What initially passes as a series of unrelated, rich, colorful anecdotes about the Cuban revolution and Cuban American culture slowly evolves into a story about the power of words and their ability to actually shape memories. When Juani's relationship with her lover, Gina, ends violently, Juani allows her lying, abusive cousin-in-law, Jimmy, to spin tales to explain the situation to the family. But soon Juani realizes she has reconstructed the actual events to suit Jimmy's lie and is unable to clearly separate fact and fiction. Juani slowly sinks into a fog, until an incident that unmasks Jimmy helps her reclaim her own truths and let those she loves back into her life. This is an evocative work that illuminates the delicate complexities of self-deception and self-respect, and the importance of love and family.

The main thing I remember from my childhood is being afraid all the time. There was never a break from the fear.

When memories of my childhood come back to my brain, my whole body reacts. I tense up, start shaking and sweating, my mouth goes dry and my hands and feet go cold. My breathing speeds up and my chest goes tight. Even certain bodily functions stop performing as they should, or happen involuntarily.

The fact that my body reacts like this just increases the intensity of the memory, because that's exactly how my body felt at the time.

I have these "memory attacks" (as I call them) fairly often, but around my birthday is one of the worst times of year for this.

My lack of awareness of my surroundings makes this more overwhelming. I get so lost in the chaos of my own mind, and the memories I'm trapped in feel more real than the actual events occuring in the present.

My lack of sense of time exacerbates the issue, as I can't easily separate one birthday from another. It just all blends together. That goes for all days of all years, really, but when it comes to specific dates and events that people make a huge deal about, the blurring of the lines is more intense.

Before I had Sunny, I had a rabbit... His official name was Eddy, but he went through many names in my friend group

The names were: Kirishima, Springtrap and lastly Springkiri

Some pictures of him and a funny pic of Sunny

(A sad thing from here on)

So Eddy sadly passed away on 16th May 2022 while I held him. I bawled my eyes out when I realized he passed and literally couldn't go to school the next day because I was grieving so much. He was my childhood pet. He was 12 years old! Also he decided to pass before my birthday (21st May). I miss him very much

Now let me tell you, in February, the year (2022), he decided to jump from my arm because he was not happy about him getting his nails trimmed and fell on his side! He broke his fucking leg and was too old for operation because he wouldn't handle the amnesia. His leg was fully healed in April. You know he ran around, had fun with his toy, and played as if he was young again... Just to pass in May.

Now, to cheer you up, Sunny has the SAME sleeping spots as Eddy did. She also has similar running habits and such things as Eddy did. Now I think here Eddy's ghost was like 'Let me teach you cat' when she arrived at home and I like that!

Sorry for the kind of sad ask :(

AWWW eddy has such a lovely pelt pattern 🥺 and no worries about this being a Sad Ask: it'd be even more sad if you werent willing to share memories of him- he was still a little darling in your life, so i'm happy to hear bout both the good and bad bout him! so sorry to hear he passed right before your birthday tho.. 😭 at the very least, im sure he passed knowing how loved he was- and still is :]

ANND that's so cute sunny sleeps in his old spot now 🥺
