Star Trek: Voyager There have been a couple of episodes recently that deal with long term mental health problems and they did as well as they could in the space of an episode but it's just not enough time. Also it reminds me about how bad Star Trek is in general about mental health stuff so it left me feeling grumpy. But there have also been a couple of really good episodes including “Infinite Regress”.
A Duet for Invisible Strings by Llinos Cathryn Thomas -- this is modern day fantasy f/f romance novella-- it was very sweet! Sadly I’m very unmusical, and the main characters in this book are musicians, so most of the music bits of this went over my head.
Stargazing by Jen Wang A middle grade graphic novel about the friendship between two Chinese american girls. ( spoilers )
Our Dreams at Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare Vol. 4 by Yuhki Kamatani The final volume in this manga series about a gay teen finding a queer community. I really loved this whole series, and felt that it ended on just the right note.(Content note death, homophobia)
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power season 4 I’ve been having a bit of TV watching slump. There’s a lot of TV I’d like to watch but I haven’t been watching it. So I thought watching a cartoon with shorter episodes might help me break out of that. It does seem to have helped. I just finished it yeseter so we’ll see if I’m able to go on to watch something with longer episodes next.
This season I really enjoyed the episodes that focused on secondary characters and less excited by the main story arc. I especially liked Scopia’s arc! I think it's good that they introduced a non- binary character but I don’t love that they are shapeshifter working for the bad guys. This is they be a problem with there being so few non-binary characters -- each one has to do so much work representing enbies.
The Anglo-Saxon Fenland by Susan Oosthuizen I follow this author on twitter where she posts a lot fascinating things about historical ecology so I wanted to check out one of her books. I picked this one because I lived in Cambridge near the fens for a few years and was fascinated by that landscape. Anyways I think this book was a bit more technical than I wanted, I ended up skimming some bits, and while there were a lot of fascinating details it was hard for me to understand the big picture.
