And now if I ever say anything about this stuff, it’ll all be derivative because she got there first. But she’s making money off of these horrible thoughts and feelings because she can make these funny pictures, and I’m stuck here wallowing in my bullshit with no outlet. Part of me was very angry reading these, because part of me was thinking – I’m just like that. Some of the stories hit almost too close to home, especially Identity Part One and Identity Part Two. I know I don’t like admitting to it, even though I’ve had my own struggles with it as well. Kind of a greatest hits album, with a few b-sides and other stuff.ĭepression is a lot more common than anyone wants to admit. The book is made up of material that was already on the blog of the same name, along with some new stuff as well. ![]() Everyone also has probably heard about Allie Brosh’s struggles with depression, a lot of which were happening when this book was in production (from what I can tell, at least). Everyone has probably read this by now, but I’ve always been really good at being late to the party. Can’t even tell you how excited I was when I opened the box. I got this and Yes, Chef from my Cannonball book elf, Jeena Livance Lim. ![]()

![]() Further, the book lays bare in scientific terms that which I’ve largely understood and have been advocating at various points for the last 15 years or so, through my own active political activism days and into my efforts to promote reading and literacy now. And yet, the documentation is solid at around 20% of the text (not counting footnote discussions at the end of each chapter, which may bump that to around 22-25% of the text). And yes, in ultimately recommending a form of at minimum confederation of federated governments – if not outright anarchism, which he discusses without ever using the term, yet never precludes that the groups he discusses could become official “governments” – perhaps Samson is even a touch idealistic. And yes, there are things here that partisans left and right will likely complain about – some legitimately, some less so. Yes, some of this book is a touch… out there… for some, such as Samson’s admitting to basing some of his thinking of this topic on his use of psychedelic mushrooms, peyote, and similar compounds. Here, Samson discusses the history, biology, and sociology of our “Tribe Drive” – ongoing and apparently bleeding edge research in all three fields – and shows how it has brought us to where we are… and how we can better utilize it to achieve a more peaceable and prosperous future for all. ![]() Yes, that is a particularly memorable line from the book – and a warning. ![]() ![]() ![]() Each issue’s contents will be serialized on our website throughout the month, with new features publishing on the first four Wednesdays of every month.

For example, it is not explained precisely how did the future 26-year-old selves of the main protagonist and her friends are able to send their letters to the past. The plot itself looks random if you don’t start reading the manga, because there is a little of sci-fi elements in it. I read it in one day and it gave me a lot of feels because the story touched me. “Orange” is a shojo manga with strong moments. ![]() ![]() She let the person she loved disappear and she can’t bear to lose him again in a parallel reality, if this letter is ever able to make it into the past. In that letter, older Naho wrote that she has regrets. ![]() “Orange” is the story of Naho Takamiya, a 16 year old girl who receives a letter that contains information about her future, written by her 26-year-old self. A live action for this work is set to be released this December in Japan, and I wish it keeps it close to the original story unlike many adaptations that in my opinion failed miserably (see L-DK for example). I have just finished reading this short manga series called “Orange”, a shojo which I devoured in just one day. ![]() ![]() ![]() Title:Trapped in Antarctica!

The rules are simple: make things visible, exploit natural relationships that couple function and control, and make intelligent use of constraints. The Design of Everyday Things shows that good, usable design is possible. The problems range from ambiguous and hidden controls to arbitrary relationships between controls and functions, coupled with a lack of feedback or other assistance and unreasonable demands on memorization. The fault, argues this ingenious - even liberating - book, lies not in ourselves, but in product design that ignores the needs of users and the principles of cognitive psychology. ![]() Book Cover of Don Norman - The Design of Everyday Things: Revised and Expanded.
