Just don’t use ordinary shrink tubing, it doesn’t seal properly in the front and may tighten too hard for comfort

Is a nice site if you want to expand into Nordic/Swedish books in your collection

I know, I’ve even heard of pages missing from paperbacks published by reputable print houses here in sweden

I like the ringantasy over romantasy any day. Sometimes I also read sword-and-sandalsantasy.

At least when I grew up in the late 80s and 90s both boys and girls read the books and watched the movies with Pippi.

I agree that Hollywood is a blight on the cultural landscape, and you basically have to disregard their movies if you want to find something deeper than a puddle, with exceptions few and far between

I saw that as parental instinct since protection of young are not gender coded, but you can read it as maternal for sure as a mirror to the Queens hatred after the egg burning

Ellen Ripley’s gender doesn’t matter until Resurrection, which isn’t the highlight of the movie.

A lot of media have strong female characters but their gender or sex does matter for the story so can’t easily be replaced

Susan in the book Soul Music (plus some others) as well as the Witches, Tiffany Achings and more from Pratchett

Death from Sandman (even though the author is very controversial, but you could check the books out from sources that doesn’t give him a kick back)

Was a long time since I read them but the Polgara books feature a strong female protagonist

We got classic youth/kids media that shows strong female characters even if some stuff are coloured by weird takes (Such as Xander Harris): Xena, Buffy and Pippi Longstockings

Dr. Doom vs Chthon would be fun

You can laminate leafs if you really want to keep having that fall theme going

The last time I tried smuggling I was in a Type 9 and had huge issues with getting in, changed to a smaller frame and it went easier

And if you ever want to pay the fine, you have to stealth in or get blasted by defense turrets. They rather see you dead than get the fine paid

And then you have SD cards which are horribly sensible, especially if they have some age on them

Also the video cuts out ten seconds too soon to really rub it in

Probably shouldn’t tag Sally Simpsons initials on your body though

I promise you that if you collect 10 random people and ask them what Ohms law is, at most you get 5 that knows it’s something about electricity. You are lucky if you have one that knows it.

We never had that kind of ads in our books, they came in catalogues I sadly never got to order from even if the "make your own radio"kit with crystal always looked awesome

I always enjoyed the ads in some youth books, like the “one chapter teaser” of the next adventure in the local translation of “Famous Five” by Blyton

They did!
