This book is an amazing primer on intersectional feminism. I'd recommend it to anybody. Tressie McMillan Cottom is brilliant.

This special edition of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale is read by Claire Danes. It's disturbingly relevant now that Americans have lost our Constitutional right to privacy and states can tell us what we can and can't do with our own pregnancies. (Vote for people who will pick good Supreme Court justices, my fellow Americans. Don't stop there, but please do start there. I have no patience for non-voters in the year of our lord Carly Rae Jepsen 2024.)

Thick and Other Essays is, of course, a wonderful choice to read during February, Black History Month. Or at any time of any other year. So is Alex Haley's Autobiography of Malcolm X, read here by the legendary Laurence Fishburne.

Not to turn this books post into All My Criticisms of the United States, but I'm still angry that I was taught in school that Malcolm X was some kind of "dangerous radical." That was only racism, Islamophobia, and an attempt to revisionist history. Almost all of the things Malcolm X said were factually accurate. He was right about so much.
I'm also angry that September 11, 2001 was 23 years ago and if you're a white American, you can still get away with so much public Islamophobia. It's sickening. It literally costs you zero dollars and zero cents to treat people who practice Islam as your fellow human beings who are each an individual person.
I want Benjamin Netanyahu imprisoned at the Hague, next to Donald J. Trump, both of them awaiting their trials for crimes against humanity. This is a non-controversial statement: It's bad to starve your neighbors to death. That is an objectively bad thing. Every single Palestinian person is, objectively, entitled to eat food, drink water, and receive medical care.
I've been told in the recent past that voting for President Joseph R. Biden is the same thing as supporting the genocide of Arabs in Gaza. I explicitly reject that notion.
But that's me up on my soapbox again. Now back to books.
Everybody likes music, right? You know her, you love her, you heard her song "All I Want for Christmas Is You" while you were shopping in December.

I own this one in paperback. I haven't finished it yet, but the first chapter or so that I read seemed intriguing. I'll finish it one of these days.

If Mariah Carey isn't to your musical taste, maybe you're rather read about Stevie Nicks.
