An Exquisite Panorama of Links & Recs

For this week, utterly Trump-free

I’ve received so many appreciative notes about this week’s episode of The Culture Study Podcast, where I talk with Rose Eveleth about women’s sports and gender panic (and their CBC/NPR Podcast, Tested). If you want to hear a conversation about all of those things that’s very different than what you would read in mainstream media, take a listen.

I’m taking some time away from the internet for a long-planned cycling trip, but I’ve also done a lot of non-Trump-administration reading, and wanted to share some of my favs with you. As always, I’ve added gift links whenever they’re available — and there’s no affiliate links, save to Bookshop (and all Bookshop earnings are donated every six months; this cycle, they’re going to help fund IndigiPalooza MT)
