My beautiful husband on the books he's read recently
A short but powerful list of books for today. I think I enjoyed B.R. Yeager's 'Negative Space' the most, out of the fiction I read, though I also finished 'Aztec Philosophy: Understanding a World in Motion' by James Maffie, and that was a real brain-bender.
Check out more detailed thoughts below:

I apologize in advance, as this will be a brief post today: I am behind the eight ball on grading and there is only so much time to put things off.

This is magical. A hopeful freight of words finally delivered.
looking at a poetry anthology from 1947 at the British Library, obscure enough that I had to ask them to cut some of the pages (!)
here’s a poem by Oswell Blakeston and Max Chapman, artists and writers who were pretty much a lifelong couple

An essay concerning the psychological toll that patriarchy takes on its supposed beneficiaries:
On Andropessimism — Broken Hands Media
It seems to me that, for many men, there is an anxiety about being unnecessary. That they could be removed from the grand equation of life and it would be, at best, a rounding error. For many of the...

They are so queer, and so brilliant for being queer. I'm shocked that it isn't talked about more often. It should be in the same breath as folks talk about Brindlewood Bay's mystery system, because that's how fundamental queerness is to Gauntlet games.
To be very clear, The Gauntlet is an unabashedly queer-centric publisher, our games put themes of queerness and gender front and center, and our founder and operator (me) is a gay POC. Our values are in every single page of our games.

As I’ve discussed, selling out is often pitched as an issue of authenticity. The opposite of selling out is “keeping it real”. Both of these phrases have a certain yawn-inducing quality these days. ...

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.
Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."
Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing
The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.
