Day 28: Samira Ahmed
As foreshadowed, we're back to YA land, which represents a lot of what I've been enjoying from the library lately.
I've read "Hollow Fires", "This Book Won't Burn", and "Love, Hate, and other Filters" by Ahmed, along with "Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know" which is quite different. All four are teen ~romances with interesting things to say about racism & growing up as a South Asian Muslim, but whereas the first three are set in small-town Indiana, the third is set in France and includes a historical fiction angle involving Dumas and a hypothetical Muslim woman who was (in this telling) the inspiration for several Lord Byron poems.
Ahmed's novels all include a strong and overt theme of social justice, and it's refreshing to see an author not try to wade around the topic or ignore it. Her romances are complex, with imperfect protagonists and endings that aren't always "happily ever after" although they're satisfying and believable.
My library has a plethora of similar authors I've been enjoying, including Adiba Jaigirdar (who appeared earlier in this list), Sabaa Tahir ("All my Rage" is fantastic but I'm less of a fan of her fantasy stuff), Sabina Khan ("The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali"), and Randa Abdel-Fattah ("Does My Head Look Big In This?"; from an earlier era). Ahmed gets the spot here because I really like her politics and the way she works them into her writing. Her characters are unapologetic advocates against things like book bans, and Ahmed doesn't second-guess them or try to make things more palatable for those who want to ban books (or whatever). Her historical fiction in "Mad..." is also really cool in terms of "huh that could actually totally be true" and grappling with literary sexism from ages past.

Invited to a job interview, where interviewer will be AI. They included a link to an example interview, and link to "find more information [about being interviewed by an AI] here," and that link says, "This page couldn’t be found," when I click it.
Gonna have to prank this AI interviewer, right? I mean clearly they're not a serious company using a machine to do interviews and leaving their tips for potential recruits 404. I already know it would be a nightmari…

Reklam för min egen bok.
Har du fortfarande inte hittat den perfekta presenten till någon som gillar träning och fysiologi?
Då har jag ett riktigt bra tips.
Nu finns Form och Prestation, boken jag skrivit tillsammans med Nicklas Neuman, som e-bok. Du kan ladda ner den direkt och enkelt ge bort den till en vän, släkting – eller varför inte hela träningsgänget på gymmet 😉
En perfekt present för dig som vill ge bort kunskap och praktiska insikter om träning

Zwischen Kulturkalender, Tipps für Familien und gelebter Stadtkultur
Stadtmagazine sind kein klassischer Lokaljournalismus, sie sind analoge Anker. Während die digitale Flut uns oft überfordert, liegen Hefte wie „Vorhang auf“ oder „Fratz“ als verlässliche Begleiter auf dem Couchtisch. Wir sprechen bei #9vor9 mit der Magazinmacherin Sandra Russo.
