Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge; A Person Who Inspires Me


It's Wednesday and perhaps time for a new Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge, courtesy of Long and Short Reviews and the topic of the week was a person who inspires me.

One person in particular who inspires me is the war historian Lynette Nusbacher. Not only is she highly intelligent, into fencing and having a sense of humour, she's also transgender, which makes me respect her even more, especially as I'm bi myself and sadly have seen just how much crap people like her can get just for being who they are.

In a way she also give me hope that even someone like me can belong in an academic setting and possibly obtain a phd in the future, as I sometimes feel I'm "too different".

If you're a bit curious about Lynette Nusbacher, feel free to check out her Facebook page or this interview on Youtube below.

    She sounds like an interesting person. You're right about people treating others unfairly because of who they are. I'm glad there is now more support for the LGBTQ community than there was back in my day. Hopefully it will keep getting better.

      I can't deny I think it's a bit frustrating to say it the least when people are being treated unfairly because who they are. Hopefully it will keep getting better in the future.

    She is a fantastic person and such a font of knowledge concerning military history. Very cool!

      She certainly is and I wouldn't mind picking her brain if given the chance.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
