Indigenous People’s Day – Plus Free Books!
So, I’ve had a problem with the celebration of Columbus Day ever since grade school when I first figured out that Columbus never set foot anywhere in North America, let alone the part that became the U.S. My disdain for the holiday only grew when I learned that Leif Ericson was actually the first European […]

Have to admit “Oh Brother” isn’t one of my favorite songs on Tape Deck Heart, but the video’s sweet. And drunk!Frank is kind of adorable. Enjoy! Filed under: Monday Morning Music, […]

Up the Walls of the World by James Tiptree, Jr. – A Review
I came to Up the Walls of the World knowing very little of James Tiptree, Jr. I knew that the author’s real name was Alice Bradley Sheldon and that her publisher kept her identity secret until 1977 (the year before Up the Walls of the World was released).
