culture consumed (May, 2020)

movies (because there's now a lot of fannish movie night in quarantine)

• Promare
• Bloodshot (Vin Diesel) Not a good movie, but better than it had any right to be. Honestly kind of impressed at how this movie manages to pull off reveals/lampshade ridiculousness in a way that works.  [Also, bironic made this excellent vidlet.]
• Venom for the 4th? time [God bless the official romcom movie trailer.]
• Magic Mike XXL -- I had forgotten so much of this movie, but it definitely holds up

tv

• Star Trek: Discovery, 1.05-1.15 (i.e., the remainder of S1)
• Xena: Warrior Princess S3E2 "Been There, Done That" [a friend's Groundhog (Birth)day Celebration]

books

• The Farm by Joanne Ramos (feminist SFF book club -- though it's even less speculative than American War was)
• Native Country of the Heart: A Memoir by Cherríe Moraga (Medford LGBTQ bookclub -- even though we're not actually meeting to discuss this until probably June)

other

• the Swedish short list for Eurovision 2020 (thanks, marginaliana) [some highlights here]
