I haven't read a lot of #books in my life. It was always hard for me to get the motivation, but the last 4 years, because of my depression, it was often impossible.
But now I'm able to read again, and want to read up on some important issues.
Here are some of my favorite books I read so far:
📖 #Platonic by #MarisaGFranco.
It's a great book about the importance of #friendship and how to get and maintain one. It helped me learn a lot about myself and is a big part of how I started getting out of my depression.
📖 "War das jetzt rassistisch? 22 Antirassismus-Tipps für den Alltag" written by the people behind the #BlackVoices referendum.
A book about #racism in Austria and Germany.
Some books I have at home, that are just waiting for me to read are:
I'd love to read other works like "Ace" but themed around other #queer identities.
Another issue that interest me is e.g. #ableism (especially, but not limited to psychological disability).
But feel free to also recommend great books on other issues.
I can only read German and English, so please keep that in mind.
@khthoniaa This is why I like #Platonic#Polytheism. The Gods are so full of Goodness, and therefore love, that it overflows into all of Being and all individuals.
Who has some good tips on how to make and keep friends (as a shy person)?
I just ordered "Platonic", a book about friendship, but I thought I'd ask around in the Fediverse as well.
There must be people here with some good tips or uplifting stories on friendships.
Please share!
This week’s #Platonic was a bit meh. I get the “Will has to come to the realization on his own” part, but Sylvia letting him annoy her at 3 AM is… difficult to believe. There’s too little build-up that justifies it. Yes, she’s stressed with the new kid situation, but also excited with her job. Why is that being railroaded?
