culture consumed (September, 2019)

books

• A Survey of Queer Looks 1890-2018 ed. Zora Gilbert (more of a pamphlet, really)
• the three trades of The Mighty Captain Marvel (2016) written by Margaret Stohl
• the 3 books in Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series

movies

• Vita and Virginia -- not as raucous as Wild Nights with Emily (about Emily Dickinson), but delightful and sexy in a lot of ways. so much polyamory and so many struggles therewith
• Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (fannish movie night)
  
• Hustlers
• Ms. Purple
• Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles 
• Paradise Hills [Boston Women's Film Festival]

  
music

• Hadestown OBCR & the live original cast recording -- it was interesting to me both which songs were not included in the original cast recording ("Wedding Song"!) and also what changes got made between the 2 iterations (I noticed it most in "Chant" -- which adds more narrative and also highlights environmental destruction a lot more in the later version -- but I'm sure that's not the only song that changed)
• Six: The Studio Cast Recording -- Thom and I iterated multiple times on when to see the ART show, and by the time we finally converged on good-enough dates, all remaining shows were sold out (which I felt less bad about after reading skygiants' writeup), but my coworker Dylan said you could just stream the soundtrack (though I think it loses a lot if you haven't seen the show first)

theatre

• recorded broadcast of RSC African Hamlet
• Six -- yup, I know I said above that tickets sold out before Thom and I managed to settle on good-enough dates, but Cate entered the lottery and won and she loves me :)  [I mean, I was also the first person to tell her about the show...]

podcasts and similar

• Crystal Cheatham's Lord Have Mercy podcast, July 18, 2019 episode: "A Game for Good Christians"
