Paule: “The author interviewed people who have been humiliated in public. They tried to lie or fabricate the truth and got publicly shamed for it. When I first came to America from Burkina-Faso, it happened to me in school. I was publicly shamed every day because I couldn’t speak English and dressed differently. We had uniforms but I always added something special – like a flower or a bow tie. It’s all about how you take the public shaming. You can learn from it and understand what happened and why. They picked on me because they wanted me to be like everybody else. Like, being different is not fair. Now I’m unapologetically me.” @pauleoue #SoYouveBeenPubliclyShamed #JonRonson / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork 🗽 (at Jay Street)

My hair and skin are a terrible mess, and this laptop lighting is terrible but I’m in such a good mood! Just spent a happy 1.5 hours watching one of my favourite authors, Jon Ronson, give a stream of consciousness talk followed by a brilliant QA, punctuated by excellent dog content, wayward squirrels and general family minutiae including a neighbour and the post office. He’s such an interesting guy, and so conscious about what he does and how. And he really seemed to enjoy it too so that made it even better. I bloody love the Zoom gig era, I pray it continues no matter what becomes of lockdown. For someone with social anxiety, chronic pain and various other bits and bobs that often prevent me really enjoying gigs, it’s been a revalation. #jonronson #talkbox #zoomgigs https://www.instagram.com/p/CCrRb-NHT_D/?igshid=tkc9gols6vzj

👍 @jonronson absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one. I’m going add others of his to my ever growing reading pile. The pace of this book is spot on, I think there is a lot to this book and it was certainly one that made me think. #100pagerule #bookstagram #jonronson #bookclub https://www.instagram.com/p/BxvZEPvHKDq/?igshid=m0ayrstw2wlq

September was certainly a disappointing month in terms of literary intake! Between jumping around the country and competing with the Divisional shooting team in Ottawa, this left very little time and willpower to pick up a book most days. Regardless, I was able to read two really entertaining and insightful books during that time. Malcolm Gladwell’s Tipping Point speaks about how social phenomenons that will reach a moment of critical mass, a boiling point, or tipping point to which it changes everyday life. And Jon Ronson’s The Psychopath Test is an exploration into the condition of psychopathy, it’s symptoms, it’s social influences, and it processes of diagnosis and “treatment.” I’m back in the Annapolis Valley teaching on a junior leadership course, so I intend to enjoy the Fall weather, sights, and take in some more reading during down time 😊 #bookstagram #septemberreads #malcolmgladwell #thetippingpoint #jonronson #thepsychopathtest #annapolisvalley (at Maritime Express Cider Co Ltd) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3K0gyvpXeL/?igshid=sezjl1svc941
