Okay, I got behind in writing stuff up in May of last year and never recovered, so I'm giving myself amnesty and starting over.

In the spirit of "What I'm Reading Wednesday":
What I'm currently reading: Real Life by Brandon Taylor -- for local library queer book club next Thursday.
I'm also re/reading Wain: LGBT reimaginings of Scottish folktales by Rachel Plummer -- which I had put on-hiatus years ago and recently decided to pick up again.
What I'm reading next: Probably Queen of Teeth by Hailey Piper (vagina dentata!) for feminist sff book club in late February.
Though when I go to the library tomorrow to pick up my holds, I'm also picking up (among other things) We Are Mermaids: Poems by Stephanie Burt, a local trans woman -- which Abby is reading with another friend.
Also, picturebooks, always. I have apparently become someone who can't make decisions on her own, so I have a stack of firefighter picturebooks to read with Abby to decide on some as nibling birthday gifts. Among other stacks of picturebooks I want to read with Abby independently or for nibling reasons.

Should I do Reading Wednesday regularly? Would people care? (All of like 3 people read me.) Would I find this more or less daunting than a monthly Culture Consumed? (More because I feel more obligation to say words about the things. Less because it's more frequent, so I would have less built up to say words about -- though lbr, I would just get behind again.)

movies
- Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery with Abby on Netflix (we missed the theatrical release window, because it got pulled so early. We ended up pausing the movie at one point because she needed to be a kid chauffeur -- which meant we then spent a whole while speculating with each other about the movie before we returned to learn how it actually happened.)
- [feminist sff book club] Black Water Sister by Zen Cho
- [local library LGBTQ+ book club] ¡Hola Papi!: How to Come Out in a Walmart Parking Lot and Other Life Lessons by John Paul Brammer
- Postcolonial Love Poem by Natalie Díaz
- read Abby 4 picturebooks
- This Here Flesh: Spirituality, Liberation, and the Stories That Make Us by Cole Arthur Riley
- The Little Book of Restorative Justice by Howard Zehr
