I haven’t done this in a while, but I thought it was worth throwing this together.

Something that’s making me happy this week

I’m now the owner of an eReader!

I got a refurbished Sony PRS-350 and I’m loving it so far. I named her Marian. Of course, Marian needs accessories.

I got this skin from Decal Girl

…and dark blue case from the Sony store.

Something that’s pissing me off this week

This is an actual book meant for children as young as six. From Goodreads:

This book is about a 14 year old girl who goes on a diet and is transformed from being extremely overweight and insecure to a normal sized girl who becomes the school soccer star. Through time, exercise and hard work, Maggie becomes more and more confident and develops a positive self image.

I don’t know why I’m surprised that a book like this exists: girls are being told from a younger and younger age that there’s something wrong with their bodies and they need to be ashamed. Still, I’m appalled. This is truly fucked up, folks. I just…don’t know what else to say.
