Gender and Transgender in Modern Paganism. Most of the anthology was very good, some was forgettable, and some...why is it so hard to convince a certain sector that the defining characteristic of 'woman' is 'identifies as a woman', not 'was assigned female at birth'?

Darkness Over Cannae was great, aside from a couple of minor things. Would reccomend.

The Pride banners were awesome and I'm so glad I went! My favourite was "Mon genre n'est pas une théorie" ("my gender is not a theory"). I also liked the guy who was not marchig but held up an anti-biphobia and anti-transphobia sign (all the lurkers who were supporting us in emails people who were cheering as the march went by from the windows/sidewalks/etc were great) and the bilingual pun "Bi happy" ("bi" pronounce the french way sounds like the english "be"). There were a lot of "GAY, OK" signs. There were also a bunch of signs for various things and barechested people with signs written on their chests; i'm especially fond of "Torse nu comme un garçon" ("barechested like a boy").

Never got to the SCOTUS decisions. Read a lot of news articles and spice recipes. And a couple MCU fics.

I got about halfway through Kraken. All caught up with DW/FB. Also read a bunch of articles on Mad Max: Fury's Road, and some stuff about Facebook's real name policy.

I read a book! An actual book!

"Bayard Rustin: The Invisible Activist". This non-fiction book is aimed at middle-grade readers and is about Rustin's life and activism. Lots of great pictures and very well researched. Took me a couple of hours to read, just right.

Chapters 1 and 2 of 'R Graphics' complete. Some of chapter 3 read, which puts me ahead for today, which is good given that I managed to leave it at home, and thus did something else on the bus (crochet).

I got to read another chapter of Skunk Works! The Stealth fighter testing stuff is gripping.
