#MaryRoach makes me crave a drink, her books feel like settling in for a cozy chat with a friend who has great stories to tell. As usual, learned a lot while giggling through #ReplaceableYou, though I regret eating while reading certain parts of this. #booksky #booksandbeer #nonfiction #FridayFunDay

Sexuality in Disabilities A touchy topic that some people don't want to touch is sexuality as it relates to disability. There is some "moral" prudishness that borders on (if not explicitly crosses into) eugenics for those who think sex is not a topic for diability. People with disabilities are people, and people have sexual motivations. We mostly dispell some myths people may have sex and disability as well as share some fun things you may not know.

We missed Olyvia at the bookstore today, but she had an important assignment: Meeting her favorite author Mary Roach at the Bookmarks literary festival in Winston-Salem, NC!

(She also met Bad Kitty! 😅)

My friend Stefani and I went to see @maryroach.bsky.social speak at the Opera House for the National Writers Series. It was so much fun, and Mary is an absolute delight. I can’t wait to read the new book!

Mary Roach makes learning too damn fun. Her laugh-out-loud books are an amazing blend of education and entertainment, that simply erase the line between the two, and that’s what makes her a great teacher.

This was a fascinating look at human/animal interactions. The way we try to make animals bend to our expectations and deal with them when they don't. I found everything so interesting.

#FuzzWhenNatureBreaksTheLaw #MaryRoach

Diving into #FuzzWhenNatureBreaksTheLaw by #MaryRoach to learn about times humans put animals on trial for breaking human laws.

Read my first Mary Roach book — this one about the realities of life in zero gravity. Fascinating. #maryroach #packingformars #spacetravel #books #booksiread

Mary Roach, Author of Fuzz, Grunt, Packing for Mars, Stiff, Spook and Bonk

If you like easy to digest scientific journalism with a touch of macabre, #MaryRoach is the one for you!

Her book "Stiff" about various aspects of cadavers and corpses, is the first one I read from her and I was hooked!

"Packing For Mars" is another of my favorites.
