Book 51: Kampung Boy. This graphic novel is a classic of the genre which somehow I had never come across until I found it in a local LFL. It's an excellent story about growing up in a rural village in Malaysia as a Muslim kid at the same time as the rural ways are disappearing. The drawing is goofy and expressive and there is so much going on in each page it was fun to flip through it. It highlights just how isolated rural communities were and yet how much was still going on in each one.<\/p>","url":"https:\/\/glammr.us\/@jessamyn\/116807884411567283","status_net":{"notice_id":null}},"to":[{"objectType":"http:\/\/activitystrea.ms\/schema\/1.0\/collection","id":"http:\/\/activityschema.org\/collection\/public"}],"status_net":{"conversation":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2026-01-18:objectType=thread:nonce=47db0b6bc16a9234","notice_info":{"local_id":"12822507","source":"ActivityPub","repeat_of":"12822505"}},"published":"2026-06-30T21:33:25+00:00","provider":{"objectType":"service","displayName":"GNU social JP","url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/"},"title":"bmacDonald94 repeated a notice by jessamyn","verb":"share","url":"https:\/\/hostux.social\/users\/bmacDonald94\/statuses\/116841194245242834\/activity"},{"actor":{"id":"https:\/\/glammr.us\/users\/jessamyn","displayName":"Jessamyn","status_net":{"avatarLinks":[{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/78812-original-tmp20260505222452.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":400,"height":400},{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/78812-96-20260505222753.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":96,"height":96},{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/78812-48-20260505222753.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":48,"height":48},{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/78812-24-20260505222753.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":24,"height":24}],"profile_info":{"local_id":"78812"}},"image":{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/78812-96-20260505222753.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":96,"height":96},"objectType":"person","summary":"Rural tech geek.

Someone assured me this was not like that, even though it deals with catastrophic climate change (as in: there is no more Florida) topics. I thought this was a good book but it was also pretty grim. The main theme is that we need to start living in and preparing for the future world, not the past one we are already missing, but also managing the grief around that. Masterful but upsetting.<\/p>","url":"https:\/\/glammr.us\/@jessamyn\/116070038292446770","status_net":{"notice_id":null},"inReplyTo":{"objectType":"note","id":"https:\/\/glammr.us\/users\/jessamyn\/statuses\/116070035801901491","url":"https:\/\/glammr.us\/@jessamyn\/116070035801901491"}},"to":[{"objectType":"http:\/\/activitystrea.ms\/schema\/1.0\/collection","id":"http:\/\/activityschema.org\/collection\/public"}],"status_net":{"conversation":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2026-01-18:objectType=thread:nonce=47db0b6bc16a9234","notice_info":{"local_id":"12822470","source":"ActivityPub"}},"published":"2026-06-30T21:32:59+00:00","provider":{"objectType":"service","displayName":"GNU social JP","url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/"},"verb":"post","url":"https:\/\/glammr.us\/@jessamyn\/116070038292446770"},{"actor":{"id":"https:\/\/glammr.us\/users\/jessamyn","displayName":"Jessamyn","status_net":{"avatarLinks":[{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/78812-original-tmp20260505222452.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":400,"height":400},{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/78812-96-20260505222753.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":96,"height":96},{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/78812-48-20260505222753.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":48,"height":48},{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/78812-24-20260505222753.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":24,"height":24}],"profile_info":{"local_id":"78812"}},"image":{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/78812-96-20260505222753.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":96,"height":96},"objectType":"person","summary":"Rural tech geek.
