Poser Used Book Dealer Doesn't Even Have Old Sumerian Texts That Open Gate to Hell A Novel Experience Bookstore owner Dale Severen was deemed “totally not legit” for lacking a dynamic selection of ancient texts and dark knowledge of demonic gateways.

Sometimes (most times this year), i feel like we are in a dystopian cyberpunk novel where nothing goes right and the stakes get higher & higher. Maybe the ending will be "it was all a dream". For sure all the old folks are to blame for not taking reasonable action sooner. Anyway, cheap book $1 & you pay shipping.

To be clear, we're talking 1890s jazz, real hot jazz, up to the publication date mid-1960s. This is the s**t! Written by the guy who signed the Beatles, Nat King Cole, & Frank Sinatra. He worked with The Duke, The Count, & Peggy Lee. If you're not hip to this tip, you better scoot.

An interesting thing about this book is that even when people say they hate it they still manage to write incredibly long, detailed reviews. Practically everyone writes a long, detailed review. It's like people can't help but pull quotes and cross references. So, yeah, maybe this book will be your new obsession - even if it offends your grammatically sensitive eyeballs (the main complaint reviewers share).

This memoir holds a lot of sadness, as a form of catharsis.

The author is aware of some of her privileges, but writes as if privilege was hardship. Maybe that's so. Still, as someone who survived a lot of crappy days as a kid I sure couldn't help resenting the author's privileges. I kept thinking what my life would have been if I had a nanny-type around, access to all the things (wealth & celebrities) this person had access to - I'd end up writing a fu***ng memoir and cashing in too!

The writing is sparse and brief. Great if your attention span is destroyed by social media and political insanity. She experienced neglect & an unstable parent, but writes lightly around it, so i can't say it merits trigger warning.

Can i just get a laugh?
This autobiography is by a human reported to be nice, sensitive, hilarious, intelligent, and goofy. Who doesn't need an injection of that?

As much as I pan woo-woo BS practices, here is an argument for how it had a hand in women's lib.

According to Radical Spirits, the 1800s spiritualism movement gave women voice and place in white western society. Sadly, this is because they were channeling the voices of pretty much anyone but themselves.

Still, at a time when women weren't permitted to speak in most public spaces ... let that settle in ... the table knocking, trance speaking, automatic writing, and assistants draped in sheets woooing from a corner of the seance room arguably empowered women, adding more voices to the call for equal rights (at least, equal rights for white British/American women, unless you're talking about the few most progressive people who fought for equal rights for all).

Gotta say, tho, I call BS on the whole thing about women being more sensitive or attuned to the spirit/subtle realm than men. But, ya know, I'm a fan of posting about what I despise. 🤡👽☠😘
