HEY SO today I spent most of the day reading Tiger Tiger by @pepurika instead of writing Book Three and YOU SHOULD TOO*!!
It's about a runaway noblewoman-turned-captain who is extremely into sea sponges, the eldritch-horror-god who she's accidentally made into a pet, her brother who is Trying His Best while being terribly in love with his First Mate, and the First Mate who is very large and beautiful and foolish.
IT'S GREAT.
Go read it, the characters are awesome, the art is gorgeous, and the worldbuilding is extremely cool.
A young noble lady steals her brother's identity and his ship to find love and adventure, and to write a book about the fascinating life cyc
*You should read Tiger Tiger. Not write my book. That curse is mine to bear

So, you wanna get into public Vandalism?
hi c ! i hope europe is treating u well ! and i hope ur thesis is going great!
lately ive been thinking a lot about drinking culture, not really about alcohol, but the social expectations around drinking, and the culture we've sort of created, especially in work settings (happy hours after work, expectations of drinking as contrasting with professionalism) and also like in college. i dont know i feel like i didn't explain this particularly well because i havent thought of it that clearly yet, but have you read anything that's kind of in the general area around this so to speak?
hi! funnily enough, i wrote an essay way back in college about how we can write history by studying alcohol consumption patterns in society, so i do have a bunch of fun things you can read:
Drink: A cultural history of alcohol by Iain Gatley
Alcohol and authority in early New South Wales: The symbolic significance of the spirit trade, 1788-1808 by Matthew Allen
Drunken Antics: The Gin Craze, Binge Drinking and the Political Economy of Moral Regulation by Cras Citcher
Binge Drinking: A Confused Concept and its Contemporary History
Social Media, Alcohol Marketing, and Young Adults’ Drinking Cultures by Ian Goodwin, Antonia Lyons
Why Gen Z is drinking less by Solcrye Burga
Towards a Cultural History of Alcohol in France by Thomas Brennan
Alcohol: Anthropological/Archaeological Perspectives by Michael Dietler
hope you find something you like!
hi! sorry if this is a weird ask but do you have any feminist lit book recs? I feel like I'm lacking skills in the "being able to call out how capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy affects everyday life" department. idk a better way to put it. I just need to brush up on it all, really. again, sorry if this was weird, feel free to ignore!!!!!
anon of course! and I'm opening this ask up to any feminists who've done more reading than I have. My current Big Recommendation is Black Feminist Thought by Patricia Hill Collins. Writing wise, it's super accessible (stay away from the voice that academics use when talking about theory). She talks extensively about Black women as a people, culture, and political force. Her second edition, the one I'm reading now, is inclusive of queer sexuality and gender as other axes in the matrix of domination that Black women must contend with. I haven't reached that section yet, though.
There's a free PDF available online if you just Google it. I'd say this is my first time really reading feminist theory--everything else I've read both online and off, in class and outside class, has touched on feminism in bits and pieces or just mentioned gender and sexuality relations without talking about feminism in particular. I'm using Black Feminist Thought as a jumping off point to read other feminist works by other (largely) Black women, since Collins cites so many.
Another good book is Becoming Abolitionists: Police, Protests, and the Pursuit of Freedom by Derecka Purnell. This one isn't feminist-based, but I do recall gender and gendered relations/expectations being part of the core text. If I'm also recalling correctly, there was an issue of class reductionism at the end, but the great thing about reading theory is that you don't have to accept everything the author says as the Gospel truth, especially when we have evidence to the contrary.
Are Prisons Obsolete by Angela Y. Davis is one that looks at the prison system as a reform to previous systems of punishment, and then focuses on how women are affected by the current prison system and gendered expectations both within and outside that system.
A book that isn't explicitly feminist but definitely brings up issues for those feminists who care about the intersections of reproduction, medicine, and culture is Birth in Four Cultures: A Crosscultural Investigation of Childbirth in Yucatan, Holland, Sweden, and the United States by Brigitte Jordan, Robbie Davis-Floyd. I loved it.
Most of my education on feminism was in bits and pieces. I'd read through portions of feminists works here, or read through threads and debates on social media talking about different types of feminism. I have the very online upbringing in feminist thought, like many feminists. I also learned what I could in college, but I genuinely don't remember those readings and I don't know if i could find them now, sorry 😭. Part of my learning to critique capitalism was reading anti-capitalist works by men and training myself to see the gaps in their knowledge. Their statistics, their theories, their hypotheses, etc, frequently failed to include women. So I'd ask myself -- if women were included in this analysis of the division of labor, how would it change? Which women? Poor women, Black women, immigrant women? What are their lives and histories like now that would influence the outcome of this work?
Also don't be scared not to just take everything at face value. Bad Feminist by Roxanne Gay was originally going to go on this list, but I don't recall much of it outside her scrabble chronicles, her acknowledgement that she still listens to music with misogynistic lyrics, and her disagreement that trigger warnings are that good of an idea. I take issue with the second and disagree with the third.
This is long enough lol, hope this helps! And again if anyone has any recommendations, feel free to add! I'm still hoping to get my hands on a copy of Whipping Girl by Julia Serano, so that's next up on the list.
