Finally, Jessa Crispin's "My Three Dads" is not social commentary you want to read but I feel it needs to be read. Examining patriarchy Ina way that indicts us all, Crispin once again does the service of telling uncomfortable truths about both patriarchal and progressive movements.

5/5

@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social "No Straight Road Takes You There" was a thoughtful analysis of social movements that explored additional context of progress, leaving me not exactly hopeful but motivated out of resignation in the current era.

4/5

@legroff.bsky.social "The Vaster Wilds" was a close second. I'm not usually into historical fiction, but this novel's tension between the brutality of civilization and the challenging but ultimately nurturing character of the natural world was impactfully and beautifully portrayed.

3/5

@karenebender.bsky.social "The Words of Dr. L" was my favorite of the month and captured me from the first page with imaginative and haunting stories of isolation.
