anexcusetofrighten replied to your post: tbh I’m really disappointed in the Randall…
They might be due to the movie / his appearance in The Dark Tower insert illustrations? Isaac!
ugh I think you’re right. and when I went back to read his description in The Stand, I realized where I may have gotten confused (though I still hold that he’s ambiguously race’d):
In New York he was known as Robert Franq, and his claim that he was a black man had never been disputed, although his skin was very light.
I totally read that as “very light (for a black man),” which although does not satisfy my headcanon casting of Isaac, does make me feel like I have some claim to this beef. XD
quick progress update: totally didn’t write last night. totally gonna write tonight. this weekend’s word count is about 400 words behind today’s NaNo goal, so I’m not even really behind yet. excuses excuses.
…a library is not just a reference service: it is also a place for the vulnerable. From the elderly gentleman whose only remaining human interaction is with library staff, to the isolated young mother who relishes the support and friendship that grows from a Baby Rhyme Time session, to a slow moving 30-something woman collecting her CDs, libraries are a haven in a world where community services are being ground down to nothing. I’ve always known libraries are vital, but now I understand that their worth cannot be measured in books alone.
