The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. Absolutely amazing.
As a person who is dying for book recommendations: What is a book you picked up randomly that you heard nothing about previously that blew you away?
I feel like we all have at least one hidden gem we stumbled upon.
Please reblog with your books in the tags :)

Mantis is a strange character, especially when I remember hearing Steve Englehart just took her to like every company. She's introduced as Mantis at Marvel. We learn she's the Celestial Madonna and she has her wedding with an alien clone of Swordsman (or something). And then Mantis vanishes from Marvel untill the late 80s or sometime in the 90s. But there wasn't the end for Mantis. No, not at all.
You see, around 2 years after her marriage at marvel, a character named Willow shows up in the pages of the Justice League of America. And let's be clear: Willow is Mantis. They look identical and speak with the same weird pronouns and both know martial arts. Except Willow is pregnant and tells the atom she must leave to give birth. So apparently she got pregnant with Swordsman.
Then, she goes from DC to Eclipse Comics. She appears in a book called Scorpio Rose. There, she's going by the name Lorelei and living in Connecticut raising her son. So really, Steve Englehart just carried Mantis all over the place. At the rate she travels, I half expect her to just randomly pop up in other fictional realms. If mantis showed up in the world of Percy Jackson or something, it would not shock me. Nothing does with her anymore.

SO many thoughts about this article, but ultimately it comes down to the fact that extreme parental control over children is so widely accepted even in liberal and leftist circles, and that’s intensely disheartening. A lot of what’s presented as neutral in this article is stuff like ‘parents should be involved in all major life decisions for their children’, which, frankly, is deranged. Parents should not be everything for their children – it’s bad for both parties. Most parents are not perfect – which is fine! you cannot expect them to be – but a child with even the most perfect parent might not want to share everything about their private life with their parent. Oftentimes, you want to share things with someone less close to you because then, if you change your mind or realize you made a mistake, there’s basically no consequences. Also, god, is this really that hard to understand? Children are their own people. A lot of people in the comments are saying things like ‘well of course parents have the right to know information about their children, but in the case of gender identity, it’s a matter of safety’. Really? Do – or rather should – they have the right? Is safety where we want to draw the line? If your boss was revealing details about your behavior at work to your siblings or parents or spouse without your consent, would you be okay with that, even if it didn’t jeapordize your safety? This is not something we should be ceding any ground on. No privacy guarantees, fears of mandated reporting, and lack of clarity on where administrators and teachers drew that line is exactly what prevents many from disclosing things to adults in the school and why you, as a high schooler, were often the primary point of support for a number of your peers at any given time. This isn’t even particularly a secret, like this is a widespread and well-known phenomenon. I really struggle to give people the benefit of the doubt on this at this point, because, frankly, for most, it’s not that they just haven’t considered the potential harms, it’s that those harms are acceptable sacrifices if it means keeping children in a state of extreme societal control.
How do I tell Annabeth haters that they’re not being more feminist for hating Annabeth instead of Rachel? Why do we always gotta hate someone? Can these two girls just exist and not be blamed for shit.
Because first it was “Rachel is getting in the way of Percabeth so she’s a bitch”
But now it’s “Annabeth was so mean to Rachel she had so much internalized misogyny”
Like why did y’all switch up??
I mean good for Rachel but like bad for society this just set us back because wtf
If you can’t blame one you have to blame the other? Honestly they think they’re being such a girls girl for that but it’s just getting worse. God forbid a girl has a crush on an attractive guy and god forbid the other girl who has severe trauma revolving anandonment hates her for it.
