In terms of watching, I started rewatching Haikyuu yesterday and I am soooo transfixed. It's so good how did I forget! I'm also watching New Girl, very slowly, and I got 6 episodes into The Bear but have yet to finish season 1 for....reasons.....

In terms of what I'm reading, right now I'm very slowly picking away at Let the Record Show by Sarah Schulman which is a history of ACT UP and AIDS activism in the US in the 80s and 90s. It's a pretty dense book but a topic I'm really interested in for a variety of reasons so I'm excited to keep going.

I'm also "reading" Umineko: When They Cry. I say "reading" in quotes because it's a visual novel, not a book, but pretty much the same as a book in the end given that I'm sitting down to read a lot of dialogue and narrative description. Umineko is soooooo long and I'm only on arc 4 of 8 but I'm reaaallly liking it--I think the author is really good at depicting complicated, fucked up people and even more complicated, fucked up family dynamics. Also, I love a mystery always.

Finally I'm reading the manga Blue Period and I am loooving it. I think as a "creator" I resonate with a lot of the thematic content even if I make written rather than visual art. I also really appreciate it because I am...not really an art person? Like, I've always felt I don't "get" art, but reading this manga is helping me understand it better/showing me that maybe I do "get" art, actually.
