Just finished "Look on the Bright Side" by Lily Williams and Karen Schneemann. Sequel to "Go With the Flow" about a group of highschool friends who become activists to get their school to stock free mensuration products. I really enjoyed the first book, and this one was also great, with some discussion of LGBTQI issues and a but more focus on romance. As with the first book, there's a layer of explicit pedagogical material included that makes summer scenes a but less natural, but that's fine and useful. As with the first book, it models making & growing past mistakes, which is great.
I find myself drawing a comparison to "Does my Body Offend You?" by Mayra Cuevas. Both deal with highschool friends doing feminist activism to change their schools, by where Cuevas deals more directly with topics like sex, sexual assault, and racism, Williams & Schneemann avoid those topics while still including a lot of the same friendship struggles.

Totally normal night:
1. Scratching the cat.
2. The first continuous sleep, ending with a #nightmare. I've dreamt that my first return train was delayed, and I'm likely to be stuck in Głogów. On top of that, the train looked looked like a nightmare contraption, with a sequence of cubic compartments with no seats, and weirdly shaped holes in the walls instead of doors.
3. Toilet.
4. Checking blood sugar, just in case.
5. Looking for a spot in the bed that's free of sweat.
6. Scratching the cat.
7. A series of nightmares. The most interesting one was about getting up in the morning, in middle of a gale. The mains voltage was so low I couldn't turn the lights on, and instead of getting myself ready to go out, I was trying hard to measure it, helping myself with a flashlight.
My working theory is that these are side effects of my current medication. One week to go.

I just updated my latest #Pixelfed post to cut back on the excessive emojis, haha.
