This is really interesting and a great contribution to this discussion. I wish whoever was downvoting you would comment to say what they take issue with.

40s and I feel like I'm finally seeing a path forward. We'll see if it pans out.

Bat Eater, and Other Names for Cora Zeng by Kylie Lee Baker. Really enjoyed this one about a young Chinese-American woman and the misogyny-laced racism she faces after covid hits. It's got creepy ghosts, serial killings, body horror, and good pacing. TW for a few mentions of animal death/mutilation. It doesn't dwell long on that, so I was able to read it.

Where is the nearest emergency room and 24/7 emergency vet?

Instructions unclear. Which bumps do I fist?

My brother and I have the same mom but different dads. I just read a book about two girls with the same Chinese father and different white moms.

All that to say, I read this as the OP's dad possibly not being her brother's dad.

This feels like the kind of gag you would see in a Naked Gun style spoof.
