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!

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.

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!

This one took forever because I genuinely loved this book and kept going off on tangents…

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!

All the people on TikTok who said “I’ve read Frankenstein a million times, and GDT’s film version completely misses the point” were lying. This movie absolutely understands that Victor is an irresponsible weirdo who completely fails to understand that a dad should care for his children.

A book that, my first go around, felt like a meandering side-mission, really worked for me this time. It’s the Magnificent Seven, but with robots and vampires!

This was a gorgeous poetic look at the ways in which Elphaba’s view of the world came to be, and how her relationship with her father and siblings shaped her attitudes.

Lmao, IG just removed a jokey story I posted about how old Windows download times would incorrectly display outrageous wait times, and it got flagged for “spreading misinformation.” I think the robots’ feelings got hurt. If you thought PEOPLE couldn’t handle nuance on social media…

I’m just wondering when they’re going to start censoring existing Trek shows. An episode of DS9 has Rom quoting Marx…

Feeling actually human today, which is nice. The cat tried to wake me up this morning, but then uncharacteristically decided to curl up in a purring ball under my chin, which was very sweet.

I didn’t have time to watch any scary movies this October (😭) so I intentionally set aside time tonight to watch Nightmare on Elm Street 3 (I love Nancy!), and since time is meaningless, and I can do what I want, I’m going to devote November to being scary movie month just because I want to.

Sitting at work listening to “Selina Transforms II” from the Batman Returns score and laughing to myself at how much this scene affected Tiny Me, even though I couldn’t possibly comprehend the emotions being expressed at that age. It’s still such an outstanding moment of pure acting and music.
