I love near future SF and my first historical love was medieval social history, specifically the lives of medieval women. Somehow this book does both of those well??? Amazing.

Elen is on page 158 of 376 of Woman on the Edge of Time
Waffling wildly between "this is some hippie shit" and "I really really like this" and some other emotions I can't pin down. Really good read so far though.

Elen is on page 89 of 672 of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari: Intersecting Lives (European Perspectives: A Series in Social Thought and Cultural Criticism)
Kinda feel like I need to bone up on basic philosophy before I get any further into this because I am lost as hell.

Elen is 54% done with Handbook Medieval Sexuality
This is weird bc this is basically a collection of essays and I read one that was straight up dunking on Boswell (which hell yeah) and then the very next one used Boswell's weird logic and a thoroughly outdated Adrienne Rich article to justify calling medieval sexual encounters between women "lesbianism" like what? Still, an excellent read even if I obviously don't agree with all of it.

Oh lord the chapter about Westboro Baptist forcing burly biker men into public displays of homo- sociality and sexuality is just. Fucking beautiful.

Elen is on page 83 of 320 of An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States (ReVisioning American History, #3)
I'm barely into this and I can already tell this is the kind of book that I feel should be required reading for literally anyone from a settler state or a country that engaged in colonialism (ie, practically every white person).
