#WhatWereReading : Joe enjoyed the latest fiction in translation from Akoya, Spanish writer Marta Sanz's wonderfully titled My Clavicle & Other Massive Misalignments (translated by Katie King)

The author deals with middle age & bodily changes in a realistic, but often humorous manner many will recognise. Are these aches and pains serious? They're serious, right? Or are they in her head?

Some medical professionals are helpful, others dismissive, and we realise this is about the way our bodies change in middle age - the aches, the pains, the worry that they signifiy something more, even menopause itself, but tackled in a way that is sympathetic but often humorous.

I kind of expect organizations in the finance sector to be slimy, but every now and then you encounter one that just takes parasitism to a whole new level. #akoya is trying to get the consumer finance protection bureau to ban screen scraping to "protect" users from 3rd party finance apps that aren't beholden to Akoya's monopoly on api access. Calling #ftc, #doj, #cfpb ... can you take out the trash please.
