For Monday’s #GayBookReview we have “Deep Dish” by L.A. Witt. #Contemporary #MMRomance

Things haven't been going right for Blake for a long time. Both he and his boyfriend struggled to make ends meet during the pandemic when work got scarce. To save costs, the two moved from California to Albuquerque, but then the boyfriend dumped Blake, and he ended up living in his car. Out of desperation, Blake agrees to move back in with his mother in Chicago, but that will come with a steep cost since he will be expected to take care of the house and his sibling's kids, leaving little time to find a job and get back on his feet. Blake seems to have hit rock bottom when his car gets stolen just before he is about to hit the road.

Row of Trees B&W -

The path down to Lake Superior is a steep hill. Whenever we climb back up to the parking lot, I'm struck by the row of pines standing still in the Autumn air. Processed as a black and white image to set the mood of the scene against a stark and cloudy sky.

Been a while since I shared a #lesficfri quote. This week's word: PROMISE. Brenna makes Cassidy a promise following a flap on set. #firstTimeSapphic #romance #contemporary #celebrity #protective mybook.to/LZTurningPoint

Image of brunette woman cupping blonde woman's cheeks next to Quote for #lesficfri from TURNING POINT novel by Lara Zielinsky: "Go home. Get some distance from this. Get some sleep." "What about the reporters?" Cassidy pushed to her feet. Despite the butterflies flying through her stomach, Brenna was calmly reassuring. "Check the Variety copy in the morning." She brushed Cassidy's arm. Brenna drew Cassidy's warm hand to her chest. "There won't be a word about this." Cassidy looked dubiously at the door. "I promise," Brenna said, drawing the woman against her. She put her arm around Cassidy's back. "I don't want dozens of reporters following us into the mountains this weekend." She leaned back and smiled uncertainly into turbulent green-blue. "That is...if you still want to go." Cassidy took a deep breath and smiled back. "Yes, I still do."

A city-scape in the middle moves like it's breathing. The title of the book "Together" in all caps and yellow lettering and author name "Eloreen Moon" all caps stacked on top of each other in white below the tile towards the bottom of the cover. At the bottom a tagline in all caps and white lettering: Apart They're Incomplete. Together They're Perfect. The entire cover is tinged a light blue caste.

Herr Irrtum!

[↓↓↓ German version below ↓↓↓]

Believe it or not but it's that time of the month again - time for my little German language
#radioShow RADIO IRRTUM! - tonight - 2023-03-18 at 8:00PM (UTC+2) on Alex Berlin, at FM 91MHz or via stream: https://www.alex-berlin.de/audio/radio-livestream .

Don't be afraid about that German language aspect - it's a show to raise your attention for new unheard
#music all over the genre spectrum - and exactly this music is what has priority above all other things; so if you don't speak German at all, you will still be sonically pleasured! :)

Usually the first half is more about clubby things (body), while the second half is more about what some wrongly call "difficult" music (for your mind).
Following this path there will be...

- weird
#Japanese #popmusic
- Hiphop
#Beatmaker Beatz
-
#Bass (#halftime, #140, Trap - that kinda thing)
- soothing and not so soothing but divine
#experimentalNoise
-
#Music not fitting a clear definition
- (but you need one? Here you go:
#Contemporary Dancehall Jazz Dub)
-
#Punk for gardening
- Polish
#postDarkWave
- folkloristic
#songwriter music

A lot of this will be
#CreativeCommons licensed music — not because I am a ideologist (well - I am, but I wouldn't force that on you), but because there is a lot of really really well done stuff coming out from there which deserves so much more attention!

And again some artists being played I've discovered here, at the Fediverse. So greetings to
@poemproducer@systerserver.town, @setto@s.basspistol.org, and @torstentorsten@social.tchncs.de :) !

[↑↑↑ English Version above ↑↑↑]

Es ist wieder soweit - heute Abend (15.04.2023 / 20 Uhr) wird
RADIO IRRTUM! - ausgestrahlt - wie gewohnt auf Alex Berlin (FM 91MHz / Stream https://www.alex-berlin.de/audio/radio-livestream).
Wie immer werde ich Euch gnadenlos durch das musikalische Spektrum der Neuerscheinungen schubsen:
Wobei es in der ersten Hälfte mehr um Club-taugliche Musik geht (für Euren Body), während es in der zweiten Hälfte eher um Musik geht, die ungerechtfertigter Weise als "sperrig" attribuiert werden könnte (für Euren Geist).
Folgen wir also diesem Weg und passieren dabei:

- verrückten Japanpop
- Hiphop Beatmaker Beatz
- Bass (halftime, 140, Trap, sowas - wisster Bescheid)
- mehr oder weniger beruhigendes Experimentelles (und göttliches!) Geräusch
-
#Musik, die in keine Schublade passt.
- (aber wenn Ihr eine wollt: Contemporary Dancehall Jazz Dub)
- Punk für Gärtner:Innen (wartet es ab, wird ein gaaaaanz flacher Witz!)
- Polnischer PostDarkWave
- Liedermachermusik mit folkloristischem Spin

Dabei auch ganz viel Creative Commons Lizensiertes - gar nicht mal aus ideologischen Gründen, sondern weil aus dieser Ecke immer wieder richtig gutes Zeug kommt, was definitiv mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient.
Und es gibt mehrere Künstler:Innen zu hören, die ich hier im Fediverse entdeckt habe (siehe oben). \o/
Viel Spaß und bis denne!

The #IPCC used the word “colonialism” in its #report summary for the #FirstTime in the organisation’s history.
The paper claims that #colonialism has made #ClimateChange more severe. Particularly, #historical & #contemporary forms of colonialism have #contributed to a rise in the susceptibility of particular populations and geographical areas to the impacts of climate change.

Wondering what the best book published in English is in 2015? Here’s the answer according to the NBCC Award for Fiction.

The 2015 NBCC fiction prize winner is The Sellout by Paul Beatty, published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. 

On the BookCritics website, Karen Long writes that Paul Beatty’s satire ‘corkscrews its reader into one stunning contortion after another, until it feels as if every social construct is splayed and strangled, caught like a codfish in the reader’s own horrified throat.’

As she advises, you need only read The Sellout’s opening paragraph to understand what she means:

‘Try reading the first paragraph of The Sellout aloud. Better still, in public. It begins “This may be hard to believe, coming from a black man, but I’ve never stolen anything” and it ends describing our narrator handcuffed and sitting on “a thickly padded chair that, much like this country, isn’t quite as comfortable as it looks.”‘Karen Long

With an opener like that you can’t help but be intrigued, can you? It tells you to strap in – you’re in for a ride.

“A biting satire about a young man’s isolated upbringing and the race trial that sends him to the Supreme Court, Paul Beatty’s The Sellout challenges the sacred tenets of the United States Constitution, urban life, the civil rights movement, the father-son relationship, and the holy grail of racial equality–the black Chinese restaurant. Born in the “agrarian ghetto” of Dickens–on the southern outskirts of Los Angeles–the narrator of The Sellout resigns himself to the fate of lower-middle-class Californians: “I’d die in the same bedroom I’d grown up in, looking up at the cracks in the stucco ceiling that’ve been there since ’68 quake.” Raised by a single father, a controversial sociologist, he spent his childhood as the subject in racially charged psychological studies. He is led to believe that his father’s pioneering work will result in a memoir that will solve his family’s financial woes, but when his father is killed in a police shoot-out, he realizes there never was a memoir. All that’s left is the bill for a drive-thru funeral. Fueled by this deceit and the general disrepair of his hometown, the narrator sets out to right another wrong: Dickens has literally been removed from the map to save California from further embarrassment. Enlisting the help of the town’s most famous resident–the last surviving Little Rascal, Hominy Jenkins–he initiates the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregating the local high school, which lands him in the Supreme Court.” (GoodReads)

The Sellout also went on to win the 2016 Booker Prize, making Beatty the first American to win the prize since it was opened to US authors.

Explore the full list of the 2015 NBCC Fiction Prize Finalists for more reading inspiration.
