#mentalhealthmonday – f**k depression review

Scott’s skills as a surveillance expert come in pretty handy when he’s breaking down firewalls.

Here's my contenders for some of the other squares, all of which I have already: Non-Western Cultural Fantasy: The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh Refugee MC: The Good Immigrant edited by Nikesh Shukla …
