Finished season 3 of Squid Game. The whole struggling in a rigged system to pit you against others and you can't make big meaningful changes hits hard. Too many of the people I care about are struggling and getting fucked and it just gets worse.

I identify with Gi-hun since I have a decent job and privilege and am trying hard to help, but it's not enough. And I hate the fucking system but am powerless to affect it.

I guess I'll have to settle for small, hopefully meaningful actions but that still sucks when the overall bullshit persists. It's also difficult to be at peace with that when you're not suffering as much and can't stop it for others.

Another Canadian recognized at the ALAs #AmericanLibraryAssociation this year is #JessicaJohns for #BadCree. The #Novel received an #AlexAward for the best 10 books for adults that appeal to children.

Bad Cree is a #horror-infused novel that centres around a young woman named Mackenzie, who is haunted by terrifying nightmares and wracked with guilt about her sister Sabrina's untimely death. The lines between her dreams and reality start to blur when she begins seeing a murder of crows following her around the city — and starts getting threatening text messages from someone claiming to be her dead sister.
