Finished reading this last week as well. Hood Feminism is a great read for those who are new to feminism or looking to add a new layer of understanding to their practice.

Happy Halloween and happy Publication Day to Shadows Over Ravenkirk by @itsviviactually.bsky.social!

A trans woman is invited to a creepy seaside town to receive a mystery inheritance, dealing with weird bickering families & supernatural scares. So fun! Think Knives Out x The Addams Family 📚💙 📚🏳️‍⚧️

... a call people cousin who are closer to being great uncles than they are my cousin.... wtf
Wait, are people really upset that Mamdani spoke about his “aunt,” and it was actually his father’s cousin and not his father’s sibling?

Because that is an extremely normal thing a lot of cultures do. Including a lot of large Jewish families!
In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.

Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."

It teaches empathy, challenges problem solving areas of the brain, keeps your brain healthy, acts as stress relief, challenges you emotionally, allows you to experience perspectives outside your own, you learn more than you would without reading, connects people over shared interests
