deer witch library finished reading Infinity Particle by Wendy Xu
This is really good!!! Tbh a comic that is so cute and cozy romantic has no right to be also extremely apt hopeful sci-fi and interpersonal heavy but it nails all of it

It is smart and beautiful. I love accompanying art and its placemaking… but i suspect the aspects of magical realism are just not my flavor

deer witch library finished reading Season of the Bruja Vol. 1 by Deron Bennett
This was a lovely fantasy story with vibrant art and characters! The author and artist afterwords about their intentional portrayals of decolonialism and mixed-race representation only added to the warmth.
The protagonist’s hair flowers wax and wane and glow. I read that as being motivated with her emotions, which is something I love about Persephone in Lore Olympus. I think we often see superheroes whose powers can manifest physically, but it’s neat to have magic characters’ joyful and difficult experiences as a literal part of them.

An incredible resource. I’m very thankful for all of it, including her collection of techniques in the back as reference.
Her kindness and compassion, knowledge and practice, blend wonderfully and I am buoyed by the connections she makes. I knew illness was what brought me to a new form of Buddhist practice, because I felt attachment was making my situation harder. I’ve discovered a few wobbly tools on my own, but her tools are abundant, tried, and true.

Reading about apocalypses helps, even if they’re dark ones.
