I’m traveling which involves a lot of waiting so I think I will thread some of my research in case you are interested in disability, gender, and Tolkien… and because I am bored 😂

I probably should not delight in scathing reviews as much as I am but I am pretty pleased that the reviews of Wuthering Heights get at a deeper issue in the film adaption that is a broader cultural problem: entertainment cannot come at the expense of critical thinking.

Today’s 4 year old movie pick was Princess Diaries 2 and my big take away from this viewing was that Genovia has an Independence Day. Which means they were at some point an occupied country and then liberated and I would like to know that history. Who occupied Genovia?? ‘Fess up, European nations!

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Everyone deserves to be free. Today is Dr. Angela Davis's birthday and we're reminded in these trying times that freedom can't be won alone. Show up for yourself and your community even when things feel hard. We're stronger together.
