Happy Sunday! Here’s a recap of what I was into this week.
Reading
Fifty shades of white: the long fight against racism in romance novels, The Guardian.
I'd seen this everywhere and finally sat down to read it today. It really is excellent, and very worth your time.

I am not always very attached to being alive, The Outline.
Changes Within the Mormon Church Are Too Little, Too Late, Advocate.

Everyone Loves Beans Now, The Cut. Wow, hi, yes.
Watching & listening to
Podcasts
I listened to an old episode of Nancy, "The Pentagon's Secret Gaggle of Gays," which is so goddamn good. I also really liked the cartoon sound effects episode of Twenty Thousand Hertz, and downloaded several others to listen to.
Streaming
On Friday night, after a long week and wanting to zone out with light and easy, I watched some old episodes of I Love Lucy on Amazon Prime. I also watched Free Solo and...did not love it? It's a movie about a man wanting to do something incredibly dangerous, all the people who know him begging him not to, and him doing it anyway. It's a no from me, dawg. ⛰
