“You all spend everything that is not familiar to you as either terrible or less than you. You only see things through your narrow lens and personal experiences. It is your weakness.”

Is she going to go to space?

Wind is like her Ijele.

“She gave more trust and respect to that which could not support her than that which could.“ Her family?

The “ableist” hate from fans also makes no sense to me, but I guess the internet has hated much more pointless things much louder.

I don’t understand her family

Is this book about how she goes against her family’s taboo and thriving but never being celebrated by them? Are they the rotten tree?

So there’s a cultural shame for disabled people but is her family embarrassed of her disability or her inability to thrive the way they expect her to or…both?

Wtf is up with her family? Overprotective?

Did they really not cut down the tree for her?

Her SIL asks her for a favor then huffs at her mode of transportation even though Zelu’s in a wheelchair…

“They expected the rest of us to hold their values, despite the fact that they clearly hated us.”

Still not sure what this book is about. A beautiful fish in a family of beautiful birds?

“Stories contain our existence; they are like gods. And the fact that we create them from living, experiencing, listening, thinking, feeling, giving – – they remind me of what’s great about being alive.”

“It never grew or died; it just was. But it never looked healthy at all. Always a struggle.” Is me, I’m the plant.

I want to be a robot that collects stories

Are you a rich man or a good man?

“I found that the need of powerful people to defend racist policies that benefited them led them produce, racist ideas, and when unsuspecting people consumed these racist ideas, they became ignorant and hateful.”

“Black people are five times more likely to be incarcerated than whites.”

“Young black males were twenty times more likely to be killed by police than their white counterparts between 2010 and 2012, according to federal statistics.”

Her dad naked with a battle axe is brilliant

Excellent

Becky, now is the time to interrupt!

I’m so glad Leslie made it. She went through a lot, but knew what she wanted to do and worked hard. Losing her mom to stroke early, her brother to drugs, her father hitting bottom in his 40s. That’s a LOT.

I love that a book like this can exist and be enjoyed by young people at the local library.

Look what I found in the garage!

Am I supposed to hate Sadie? Because I do.

Honestly don’t know where this is going.

Chocolate thunder 😂

Breaking the bathroom bar is hilarious and so pure.
