Summary of Small is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered
E.F. Schumacher wrote a book called "Small Is Beautiful." It is an excellent book. It is a little hard to read. The level of English is a little complicated, but I still think it is worth it. The book Small is Beautiful is for people who speak good English. It is a great book. A person who was an economist is still an economist.

"A Better World"
A few months ago I looked at my long To-Be-Read wish list on Amazon.com and saw A Court of Thorns and Roses. It had been on my list for a while and I was at a point where I was frustrated with books because the previous 6 I had attempted to read ended up being dull and a waste of time. So I decided to take a risk and order the book. I only had a very vague inclination as to what it was about and I had successfully avoided any spoilers on the series, so while I was mildly worried this would be yet another dud, I was also excited because old-world fae (the creepy, gonna-eat-you-while-you-watch kind) always fascinated me.

Breaking the (Autistic Code) Keiko Furuka from Convenience Store Woman (2016)
Disclaimer: I am not a licensed medical professional and this series is not about diagnosing the character(s) with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This series is a personal examination of the film/TV show's plot, the character's traits and personality and how they relate to me as an Autistic woman. I will also examine canonically Autistic Characters, so take my personal opinions as just that, a personal opinion. I would encourage my readers to seek out different perspectives on disability representation especially from BIPOC disabled creators who are often ignored in the disability discourse. Also some of the topics I will discuss might be triggering so please take care of your mental health when reading. I will also try to avoid giving away any spoilers for those who have not seen the film/TV show but if I have to give context for my arguments, this will be a likely occurrence so please be forewarned.

The Book of Household Management
One subject that a lot of people are interested in is “Domestic Service”. We seem to be fascinated with the whole “Upstairs, Downstairs” world as it crosses over from the Victorian to the Edwardian Eras. My own grandmother was a maid in a ‘big house’, and I love the (only) photo of her in her maid’s uniform, and she does look in her early teens! It was such a different world that people actually lived their in whole lives, and I think this is why we are so interested in “It”.
