It's Kuwento TimeÉwith 28 Filipina/x/o authors who share their truth about life, loss, love, family, fears, hopes, and dreams in the debut of 17 inspiring poems and 16 personal stories.

The Kuwento Book: An Anthology of Filipino Stories + Poems is a groundbreaking collection of powerful stories and poems by accomplished Filipina/x/o community writers, storytellers, artists, and leaders. You are invited to dive into this anthology of kuwentos, as contributing authors unpack the realities of being Filipina/x/o and express their truth about love and loss, family and community, dreams and fears, and self-discovery. No doubt, all readers of every age will connect and contemplate on these experiencesÐbeing moved to laugh, cry, and root for them within these pages.

ÒWe all have kuwentos to tell because we have lived our own lives,Ó says the editor and publisher, Pat Lindsay C. Catalla-Buscaino, known as Dr. Pinky. ÒBut many people are scared, afraid, and uncertain to share, because our stories have been historically dismissed and appropriatedÐin books, in school curriculum, and in the media. Now is the time to share with the world the voices of everyday, extraordinary Filipinas/xs/os who have been marginalized from mainstream narratives and traditional publishing houses. These stories and poems connect to our own experiences, validating the importance of representing the diversity of Filipinas/xs/os from all over the world. We are here, and we will keep telling our kuwentos for as long as we exist.Ó The Kuwento Book: An Anthology of Filipino Stories + Poems shines a much needed spotlight on the Filipina/x/o perspective from the United States, the Philippines, and beyond.

You'll read about:

- Growing up and figuring out life
- Moving to a new country or place, and finding your way
- Returning, discovering, and (re)creating home, family, and history
- The power of women, mothers, and grandmothers
- Navigating and questioning love, relationships, identity, culture, and gender stereotypes
- Loss of self, a loved one, or through COVID-19
- Creating community and what it means to give back

I like it just fine. It’s good and it works for me.
Color: Black
It’s sturdy and I like the design. Seems pretty comparable to every other MacBook stand, but I chose this one for some reason and I’m happy with it. The height is not adjustable, so if you want that find another one.

Great computer stand
Color: Gray
These stands are great. We now have two of them. My wife suffers from Carple tunnel syndrome and these stands lesson the effects when typing. They are stable and hold the computer securely.

Weighty and well designed
Color: Gray
The Bestand Laptop Stand is a testament to quality and thoughtful design. From an ergonomic perspective, this stand truly shines. It elevates my laptop screen to eye level, promoting better typing and viewing to reduce strain on my back and neck. Another standout feature is the weighty and solid construction of this stand. It's crafted from a single piece of aluminum, which not only adds to the stand sturdiness but also gives it a sleek, modern look. The surface is spacious and accommodates laptops from 11 to 16 inches. Both the weight of the stand and the silicone treads below and underneath the laptop, and on a metal lip in front, ensure that neither the stand nor the computer move around. The manufacturer claims a 66-pound load-bearing capacity for the stand, and I believe it. This thing is rugged. The inclusion of a slot at the rear for cables to pass through is a small yet incredibly practical detail. It helps keep my workspace organized and tidy. Three slots in the stand aid with heat dissipation and are yet another thoughtful design feature that cools my laptop during extended usage. While the stand excels in many respect, one limitation is its lack of height adjustability. However, if height adjustability is important to you, you’ll find lots of other options for stands here on Amazon. Bottom line: I like it. Chances are, you will too. The Bestand Laptop Stand is a nice blend of durability, functionality, ergonomic comfort, and attractiveness—all at a reasonable price.

Pleasantly Surprised
Color: Gray
Honestly, I was a little hesitant buying a laptop stand that didn't offer an adjustable angle, but for the price, I couldn't pass up checking this out. I'm very glad I did. First, this stand came really well packaged. For a $37 stand, I wasn't expecting much, but box and packaging was impressive. After pulling the stand out of the box, my first impression was this was both weighty and well machined. The edges were smooth, there were no imperfections I could find and the space gray color was dead-on. As far as functionality goes, this is a tremendous improvement form having my MacBook Air sitting directly on my desk; the angle is perfect for my use case, the wiring hole in the back is more than adequate and the whole setup just looks slick. If you're hesitant about buying a cheaper stand that doesn't offer an adjustable angle, don't worry about this one, it does the trick.

Upscale look
These valet trays have a really upscale look and feel. I originally thought they’d make a great Father’s Day gift, but after using them, I realized they’re perfect for everyday use by the front door for mail, keys, wallet, and other essentials. They have a nice weight and perfect size to them and the felt bottom keeps surfaces protected from scratches. The combination of acacia wood and metal gives them a modern, sophisticated style that works well in an office, bedroom, entryway, or nightstand area. They’re both practical and decorative, making it easy to keep things organized while still looking polished. Nice quality product.
