movies

Pacific Rim with Thom (who had never seen it) and queer coworker Emily (who is sufficiently obsessed with this movie to point out things like how Drift memories don't necessarily match how things actually happened and Raleigh ~submitting to Mako during The Fight and Sasha Kaidanovsky's body language -- so I thought of her when I got to this post in my trawl back through rhod chang's Tumblr; when *I* watched Pacific Rim the first time, the primary fannish osmosis I'd had was rhod's Tumblr, so ex-post I was gonna dig up some highlights to show Thom... but 233 pages is a lot, and after a while I decided I/we didn't care enough for it to be worth the time investment atm)

books

When Brooklyn Was Queer by Hugh Ryan (Medford Library LGBTQ+ Book Group)
The Ultimate Guide to Prostate Pleasure: Erotic Exploration for Men and Their Partners by Charlie Glickman & Aislinn Emirzian (no points for guessing who got to fuck her partner for the first time this month -- though we haven't actually used this book yet)
The Gilda Stories by Jewelle L. Gómez (Feminist SFF Book Club -- the protagonist is a Black lesbian vampire, okay?)
