Trying this book challenge, but 20 days is quite the commitment for my brain, so we'll see how long I manage.

Returning to Muñoz's Cruising Utopia as prep for my queer kinship and fantasy seminar next term. I want to bring some hopeful, yet grounded, queer energy into the new year for my students.
Page from Muñoz's Cruising Utopia with underlining in pencil of the lines "Queerness is a longing that propels us onward, beyond romances of the negative and toiling in the present. Queerness is that thing that lets us feel that this world is not enough, that indeed something is missing" and "Queerness is essentially about the rejection of a here and now and an insistence on potentiality or concrete possibility for another world."
