Denise Mochid finished reading Buddhism and social action by Ken Jones (The wheel publication -- no.285/286)
Very nice paper on how activism and Buddhism can go together.
Reviews and Comments
Bi, Asian-European, trans woman, she/her, cybersec student, surviving and thriving in the Balkans. Very interested in developing thoughts and ideas about the relationship between tech and oppression/liberation. Mainly reading either political books from a queer-feminist anarchist/leftist perspective, IT and cybersecurity books, and self-help. Hopefully regular book reviews :)

Wonderful
5 stars
I barely read fiction, but this fantasy novel was terrific. I read all four books of the quartet in one vacation of a couple of days.
