what i’m reading currently…
my partner + i have been reading this classic together. a reread for me and first time for them, but it’s been super interesting to hear each other’s perspective on what intimacy and community means to us and how it looks for us. Somé reveals the role of spirit in every marriage, friendship, relationship, and community. She shares ancient ways to make our intimate lives more fulfilling and secure and offers powerful insights into the "illusion of romance," divorce, and loss. i would definitely recommend it to anyone who wanting to expand or even just hear a different perspective on relationships and how they operate in ecosystems. | i had a chance to visit semicolon during a quick trip to chicago, and it’s a book that’s been on my personal wishlist ever since the couple announced they were releasing a book. if you aren’t familiar, jannah + kiyanna are the brilliant minds behind blk mkt vintage, the brooklyn-based antique shop, reclaiming objects and curiosities that tell black stories. it is currently my favorite coffee table book, with over 300+ photos of vintage artifacts, interviews with Black archivists and collectors, and tips for starting your own collection. it really is a must-have for history lovers and for the culture. |

 feminist bookclub pick The notion that everyone wants sex-and that we all have to have it-is false. It's intertwined with our ideas about capitalism, race, gender, and queerness. And it impacts the most marginalized among us. For asexual folks, it means that ace and a-spec identity is often defined by a queerness that's "not queer enough," seen through a lens of perceived lack: lack of pleasure, connection, joy, maturity, and even humanity. | Bree Matthews is alone. She exiled herself from the Legendborn Order, cut her ancestral connections, and turned away from the friends who can’t understand the impossible cost of her powers. This is the only way to keep herself—and those she loves—safe. | Avery Jensen is almost thirty, fresh off a breakup, and she’s tired of always being so uptight and well-behaved. She wants to get a hobby, date around (especially women), flirt with everyone she sees, wear something not from the business casual section of her closet—all the fun stuff normal people do in their twenties. Enter Taylor Cameron, Napa Valley's biggest flirt and champion heartbreaker. Taylor just broke up with her most recent girlfriend, and her best friend bet her that she can't make it until Labor Day without sleeping with someone. (Two whole months? Without sex? Taylor?!?!) So, she offers to give Avery flirting lessons . |
