Hack your Reading - Getting Back into a Reading Routine

This week, I’m talking to folks who want to get (back) into reading because literacy is good, and with the rise of AI, thinking for yourself and challenging your assumptions has become anti-capitalist, and we need more of that.

Ok, so Gregory Maguire just announced that he’s writing a Glinda prequel, and while I am aware that this is just capitalism capitalisming, I am so excited! This is going to be cutting high society satire at its BEST!

Also, they’re in completely different containers. Like, unless you’re the Barefoot Contessa and prepping by pouring sugar and salt into identical little dishes and placing them right next to one another beforehand…

Imagine putting “anti-racism” on a list of banned subjects and still believing you’re one of the good guys… This list is appalling!

Today is moving day at work following a long and arduous renovation, and also, it’s been “everyone is having a surprise emergency” day, so I would really like it if the world would just pause for thirty minutes so I could have a quick breakdown. I’ll be fine after.

I just want audiences to be patient and open to new things. Universe was fabulous, had an incredible cast, and set up some MASSIVE threads, and people torpedoed it. Star Trek Discovery faced similar backlash later on for the same reason, but the studio stood by it. I hope they learned from that.

Yes! I’ve read that, too. And “dude” comes from the fact that, apparently Motley Crue used that word to excess and Tyler found it hilarious.

According to an interview with the band, it’s about a guy who sees a woman at a bar, meets up with her backstage, realizes she’s a drag queen, and then goes along with it anyways because he still thinks she’s hot. But also, the song DOES still feel transphobic…

Hey, I'm looking for comics and graphic novels *by* Indigenous writers and/or illustrators, especially in the Americas. Doesn't have to be a recent book. Any genre! Any topic, any themes, does not have to be a memoir or history, though that is welcome too!

Siiiiiigh. It’s okay for flawed characters to be complex while still having done bad things. I hate this idea that giving monstrous characters any kind of nuance “absolves” them. Like, no, Jack faces consequences, and he understands that in the end. But he’s not absolved somehow.

While we’re talking James Bond, please read these books (book three incoming). It features great queer and disability rep, and one of the agents is a nod to Julian Bashir’s James Bond DS9 episode “Our Man Bashir,” and Book one features a Bond Boy with a history with one of the male agents!

Oh man, writing workshops are brutal, but they’re SO GOOD at weeding out the people who write not because they love writing but because they want others to tell them how creative they are. I’ve seen so many half-baked dreams die tragic deaths in writing workshops…
