Unity and solidarity comes from grief. Change comes from grief. Snarking away at how people are upset just makes you an asshole. They should be getting media attention. Women of colour and trans women suffer appalling rates of violence and every death should make the front page. Maybe then people would see just how widespread this problem is.
Internalised misogyny is a hell of a drug. We think if we suck up to men and throw our sisters under the bus we might be saved. So you slam them. And you kiss ass all day long making sure no man ever feels uncomfortable. We have all been there. I wasted many years of my life not realising women were my saviours in life.
Nothing could make me want to hurt my sisters or stand against them just so some limp dick knuckle dragging guy wants to fuck me. Jokes aside, consider who is watching you right now. What are you teaching her when you come online and call me a cunt? What are you telling her about what her thoughts and ideas are worth in this world, to you?
What are you teaching your son when you talk about feminazi sluts?

About her right to safety? So here you go my friends, I am writing for places other than the good ship Spinoff as well as The Spinoff. Please check out two sponsored posts I wrote — these help me continue to write, as they help pay my bills. This kind of explains it. I very, very rarely do sponsored posts as I only want them to be things that really benefit you. I hope I have the balance right. I turn down a lot but I genuinely think this wee project from Norton was worth doing.

I need to get a new car seat as Hamuel is growing out of the current one, I need to get the fuse on the stove fixed, I need to sew on buttons onto the pile of bloody clothes I have with broken buttons. Nobody wants to talk about money. But I feel like I should. This is quite normal in our circle of friends. I gave up my day job earlier in the year thinking after two years at The Spinoff I finally had stable work. Then our great sponsor left The Spinoff Parents. So I lost my main income.

I like most mid grade books but this series is at the younger end. That being said I still want to finish the series.
I love how Neptune puts on an air that he doesn't care but always does the right thing. I'm glad that Emily and Mandy made up at the end and I liked how the author showed both sides. Over all Emily is a nice girl and I'm glad she has her good friend. Emily is all set to live happily ever after with her parents, but of course it doesn't work out that way. In trying to fit in and make friends, Emily accidentally awakens the Kraken.
It looks like the Kraken will destroy Allpoints Island--unless Emily can find a way to avert disaster. Her old enemy, Mandy, shows up to further complicate matters. Not quite as good as the first book in the series, but cute. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This is the sequel to the Tail of Emily Windsnap. I enjoyed the first book, despite it's young adult status ; It was not as descriptive as the first book, but in this book the ocean and undersea life are more known to our young mermaid so the wonder is wearing off a bit.
The insecurity that the heroine felt in the last book is also dealt with in this book. One of the main differences in this book is the duel perspective. Half the chapters are written from Emily's perspective and half are writte This is the sequel to the Tail of Emily Windsnap. Half the chapters are written from Emily's perspective and half are written from her arch nemesis of the previous book Mandy.
It seemed like the author was trying to make Mandy a bit more likable, or at least explain why she was so mean and going for sympathy but it really didn't work. Since she woke it up she is the only one who can get it back under control as Neptune's pet. Neptune is once again a big bully who just wants to cause destruction on the humans this time with the Kraken and of course being a former human herself Emily does not want this.
One of my biggest problems with this book was no one changed, yeah there was the "forgiveness" between Emily and Mandy but both really stayed the same as individuals at the end. Apr 14, Julia rated it did not like it Shelves: First of all I hadn't had the chance to read the original book and didn't know this was a sequel until I had already picked it up. As a result I cannot say anything about the series or even place the book itself in a comparable study compared to the others in the series although one friend really likes the third book the best and others say the first was good but that is from others' viewpoints.
To me the book was too flat and emotionless since it was basically the same issue times two with a b First of all I hadn't had the chance to read the original book and didn't know this was a sequel until I had already picked it up. To me the book was too flat and emotionless since it was basically the same issue times two with a bunch of complaining from both protagonists who didn't learn anything but how to make things worse even when they were trying to make things right.
Meanwhile the tone of the book seemed really girly and although I know I wasn't of the targeted crowd it read of the drama relating to overly dramatic fifth to middle aged children. The reading of the book was simple and easy so it would make for a good book for those who are working on expanding their reading to easy-type chapter books.

In the end even if you are a fan of YA or mermaids I wouldn't recommend this book unless you are part of the related audience who doesn't mind for overdoing things. Emily ist nun in ihrer neuen Heimat, auf der Rundum-Insel, angekommen und gleich die erste Erkundungstour bringt sie und ihr neues Zuhause in Gefahr. Sie hat einen riesigen Kraken zum Leben erweckt.
Die Geschichte steckt voller Spannung und jeder Menge Action. Die ersten Seiten, in denen Emily in ihrer neuen Heimat ankommt, sind noch ein wenig ruhig, aber sobald der Kraken aufgeweckt wurde, passiert unglaublich viel. Mir hat die Geschichte sogar noch einen Tick besser gefallen als der erste Teil, denn der Autorin ist hier ein spannendes Meeresabenteuer gelungen.
Ich freue mich auf weitere Abenteuer mit Emily. Jul 24, Emily added it. This book is about Emily has found her dad and goes to live and allpoints island.

May 11, Nat rated it really liked it Shelves: It is a terrible misfortune that the popular book series about being a mermaid is told through the perspective of someone who only wants to fit in. Jun 06, Caroline rated it it was ok. In the first like seventy pages, the story moved really slowly and almost nothing happens. The story line was really predictable, and the author didn't even try to put a cool twist anywhere in it. I mean, I guess I liked the fact that she told us more about the characters, like, for example, we learned why King Neptune hates when merpeople and humans have relationships.
But, otherwise, this story has no effect on the full series. In the first book, she gets her father back, finds out she's a mermaid finds out her mom married a merman, and that she now gets to live on an island for mermaids. This book, we just find out about a sea monster but then they just defeat it and we're fine. But to sum it up, I just wish the author would give the readers a bit more and have it actually effect later books!!

Emily continues to let her adventurous streak and need to be accepted get the best of her I adore this spunky and brave little girl, probably because she reminds me a little of myself- so desperate that new start would fix everything that she gets a bit TOO eager and messes it all up.

Was about the same as the first book. At least it had some surprises but I feel as if the writing and characters are still Not the worst though. I'd still read another in the series. Mar 03, Faith M: This was really good!!! A little slow at first, but then the story kicked in! A LOT more action than the first one! My only complaint is that they say Oh my God a lot.
Other than that, I love it! Oct 07, Jordyn Robinson added it. Nov 21, Jennifer rated it it was ok. This book is a sequel to another book. In this book, Emily Windsnap knows shes a mermaid, and got her father back. And since she did, she now has to move to an island where her whole family can live. That is because her parents love were forbidden, her mother being human and all. But when they do move there, she also attends school there.
She and her friends explore, and eventually wake up a monster. They go through a lot of obstacles and destruction calming that monster because it is so strong This book is a sequel to another book. They go through a lot of obstacles and destruction calming that monster because it is so strong and powerful. This book switches narratives from Emily to her enemy, Mandy. I like the beginning of the book, where the family is all happy and full of joy. I really don't like how sometimes Emily tries to show off, because eventually she gets everyone in trouble.
Another character I do not like is Mandy. She is so shallow and mean, but I guess that is because she doesn't get much attention from her parents. So although she may irritate me, I do feel some sort of sympathy. This book is nothing compared to the first book. The first book "The Tail of Emily Windsnap" had a way bigger impact than it did for this. The other one made me feel emotional. This one just mainly annoyed me. Jan 30, Michelle Weng rated it it was amazing. Emily Windsnap was not a ordinary girl. When Emily took swimming class she found out she has tails.
Good thing King Neptune's loyal assistant was here to help. Now that Emily knows she need to move to a beautiful island set in a glittering blue sea, sparkling with white sand and palm trees, a secret place where humans and merfolk live together. But during this adventure curious Emily found where Neptune hides his pet Kraken.

But by accident she and her friend Shona woken the kraken who was to sleep for years but this time it was 99 years now the kraken is in rage and Emily thought Shona was mad at her for being so curios. But Neptune said the only way to calm it down was whoever woke the kraken must go to the Kraken and calm it down by talking to it using your heart.
The kraken is going to smash the boat with Emily's mother on it. Read more to find out what happens Dec 06, Brigitte rated it liked it Shelves: Mar 05, Mairanna rated it liked it. The tone feels dry and lack some of the whimsicalness from the first book yet hold together fine. There is more character devolvement. Emily try to fix what she did wrong and it doesn't work out.
In real life when someone try to fix something nine times out of ten it doesn't work out, there a connection to relate to that. Also gives young readers a lesson that you can't always get what you want.

Dec 11, Kendra Ardnek rated it really liked it Shelves: You know that awkward moment when you only intended to read the first book of a series, so you check it out from Overdrive, only to receive the WHOLE series in one ebook Not that it's a bad series, mind you, but this wasn't a series I wanted to read in one big gulp, and now I kinda feel obligated.
Emily loves treading ALL over my literary pet peeve, but she usually learns most of her lesson, and the worldbuilding isn't bad.

May 31, Pamela S rated it it was amazing. This book is a sequel to the first book. To understand this book more, i highly recommend to read the first book first the tail of emily windsnap. This book gave the funny feeling of being scared at a time while still wanting to know what happens next. Very engaging but a little bit intense, more intense than the first book. An enchanting fantasy with a fabulous monster, a cast of engaging, funny characters, plenty of mermaid magic and a page-turning story.
