It's a 100-day Journaling Prompt + Essays book. Due to disability, time constraints, and reality, I can't do a prompt for 100 Consecutive Days, but I can do 100 days in total. That's the plan at least

Content warning minor spoiler alert for the alien invasion plot/ talking about colonization / a joke from the artist / author
Okay so the Fake Mom has admitted she's an alien (a Moon Goblin), I don't know if she's admitting it as a scheme or genuinely wants to care for Dany, but she's talking about how the Upper Stratum (the cloud people) have taken good care of the Moon Goblins (the word "Civilized" has not been used but I think those are the vibes you're supposed to get) and she's talking about the things Colonization has provided.
In that panel there is an ad for the "British Art Museum" (the characters are in like Connecticut or somewhere else in the US) and that seems like the most scathing over your head joke you can make in what I believe is a Middle Grade Graphic Novel

A lively and magisterial popular history that refutes common misperceptions of the European Middle Ages, …
Love to see historians stand against white supremacy
4 stars
I'm never going to be mad about a history book written by pasty authors who call out white supremacy, islamophobia, antisemitism, etc. Plus the authors went out of their way to talk about women from the time period. All of these things are wins in my books.
The overall structure of the book is more or less chronological, but when the authors zoom in two specific moments during the Middle Ages, there still aren't a lot of details. It was enough for me in audiobook form, but I can see it being disappointing for somebody who wants to really do a deep dive into the time period. I personally liked it a lot though and had a few good chuckles while reading.
It does look like the two authors got together again for another book that talks about a specific event during the Middle Ages that I definitely want to …
