#MemoryMonday rec for #WomensHistoryMonth. In @felicia.day and @skulkingfoxes.bsky.social's graphic novel, The Lost Daughter of Sparta, a princess gains an unexpected gift to avert a love goddess's curse. An #LGBT must read for #GreekMythology fans best read while listening to the audiobook.

To #marilynmonroe, @janeharrington.bsky.social, @coilyandcute.bsky.social, @kendareblake.bsky.social, @felicia.day, @skulkingfoxes.bsky.social, and my other "Sisters": a happy #womenshistorymonth 2026 to you all!♀️💃🏼🧚🏼‍♀️👧🏿👧🏿👧🏿👩🏿‍🦱👸🏻👸🏻👸🏻🌘 #sendmebacksunday

Would've been interesting had this folk tale been included in @janeharrington.bsky.social's book Women of the Fairy Tale Resistance; Madame d'Aulnoy, one of the seven conteuses or inventors of fairy tales, wrote her own variant titled Princess Belle-Etoile.👸🏽

@lizclimo.bsky.social, @kchenoweth.bsky.social, @idinamenzel.bsky.social, & @christymarx.bsky.social all tell us to get along; for the last day of #Hanukkah, I recommend Three Holidays and a Wedding, a romcom set in 2000, the year when Ramadan, Hanukkah, and Christmas were celebrated days apart.🕌🕍⛪

With one month to go before #Wicked: For Good hits cinemas, it's time to recap on L. Frank Baum's original novel with this YouTube video. Uploaded by Little Fox, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is faithfully retold in this 86-minute animated narration of the adventures a girl takes to go back home.🌪️

#ShowtimeSynergy! A happy #40thAnniversary to #Hasbro 's #TrulyOutrageous animated TV series #JemandTheHolograms⭐👩🏼‍🎤🎹🎸🎸🥁🖥️⭐. Thank you to the cast and crew, especially @christymarx.bsky.social for creating such a unique TV show still loved by fans and for sharing my review on it.

This year, one of my favorite "conteuses", @christymarx.bsky.social, shared my blog for Women's History Month 2025. My new list of recs will be launched on 03/01/2026 and feature works by the likes of @kendareblake.bsky.social and @janeharrington.bsky.social. It's tricky choosing the right emojis♀️

I bought myself a delighful birthday present: one of a local bookstore's last available copies of @lizclimo.bsky.social's Lobster is the Best Medicine🦞. I've been following the artist's pages and buying her eBooks for years, and it's nostalgic to read some of her earliest works of art.🐇🐻

I've yet to order @janeharrington.bsky.social's fairy tale book, but I'm happy to see Persinette among the selected stories. Written by Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de La Force, the French story inspired the Grimm Brothers' Rapunzel, @kateforsyth.bsky.social's Bitter Greens, and my 2016 blog post 💇🏼‍♀️

Two years ago, @laurenjabear.bsky.social wrote Medusa's Sisters🐍🐍🐍, one of my favorite books. Now, I finally have my very own snake wig, wearing it to teach my class the classic stories and take fun selfies. Also can't wait to read @janeharrington.bsky.social's fairy tale book📘. Yes to human makers.

For #MemoryMonday and #WomensHistoryMonth , I recommend Persepolis🌸, Marjane Satrapi's bestselling autobiographical graphic novel which chronicles her childhood and early adult years in Iran and the price we pay for freedom. aeleazarsarbitrarythoughts.blogspot.com

For #InternationalWomensDay and #SendMeBackSaturday, here's @laurenjabear.bsky.social's novel Medusa's Sisters. Retelling the Greek myths, Medusa's big sisters, Stheno and Euryale, narrate their love for her and why Athena turned them all into Gorgons.🐍🐍🐍 aeleazarsarbitrarythoughts.blogspot.com

For #FlashbackFriday and #WomensHistoryMonth, I thank @davidmccormack55.bsky.social for voicing Bandit Heeler-the best TV dad of all time-and one of the reasons why #Bluey 💙🧡 is among the recommendations on my blog. I'm an adult fan of Bluey and I'm proud! aeleazarsarbitrarythoughts.blogspot.com

For #WorldBookDay, #ThrowbackThursday, and #WomensHistoryMonth, here's @bethkephart.bsky.social 's Good Books for Bad Children, a biographical book showing the true story of Ursula Nordstrom, who edited the greatest books children want/need. aeleazarsarbitrarythoughts.blogspot.com 👦🏿📖👧🏻👦🏽📙👧🏼👦🏾📘👧🏽👦🏼📗👧🏾👦🏻📕👧🏿📚

For #waybackwednesday , I encourage everyone to follow @lizclimo.bsky.social, whose works I've been recommending for #WomenHistoryMonth and whose animal characters teach us to love our neighbours. 🐇🐻🐈‍⬛️🐶🦆🐐🐖🦦🦔🐦🐍🦥🦘🐹🐟🐊🦏🐻‍❄🐧🐢🦈🐬🐡🦊🐓🐙🐔🐼🦒🦝🦨🦁🕷🦕🦛🐨🐋🦭🦫🐺🦢🦌🐑🦎🫏🦙🦉🐁🐀 aeleazarsarbitrarythoughts.blogspot.com

For #TakeMeBackTuesday and #WomensHistoryMonth, here's another classic I recommended on my blog. Written in 1949 by an anti-Nazi German man named Erich Kästner, #TheParentTrap is the classic children's novel about those switching #twins. 👨🏻👩🏼👧🏼👧🏼 aeleazarsarbitrarythoughts.blogspot.com

Since March 2019, I've been recommending on my blog works about, by, and for strong women for #WomensHistoryMonth; what kickstarted my tradition is Ari Folman's graphic novel adaption of #AnneFrank 's Diary. #MemoryMonday aeleazarsarbitrarythoughts.blogspot.com/2025/03/trul...

Thank you, @christymarx.bsky.social, for not only for sharing my #WomensHistoryMonth blog post, but also for creating the truly outrageous #JemandTheHolograms 👩🏼‍🎤🎹🎸🎸🥁🖥️. #sofarbehindSunday

In celebration of #womenshistorymonth 2025, here's my blog post honouring #JemandTheHolograms and mentioning works by @lizclimo.bsky.social , @johnreppion.bsky.social , @darkhorse.com , @thewitchoftheforest.co.uk , and more. #sendmebackSaturday

Thank you to the people at @discotekmedia.bsky.social for rereleasing all episodes of Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02 uncut and on Blu-ray; another happy 1990s baby.

Back in 2000, Ramadan, Hanukkah, and Christmas were celebrated together. Written by Uzma Jalaluddin and Marissa Stapley, narrated by Ulka Simone Mohanty, and published by @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social, Three Holidays and a Wedding is all about love.🕌🕍⛪
