Funky 1974 edition of Brideshead Revisited, a British and Catholic classic from 1944 that I have never gotten around to reading. I’m excited for some right snobbery and parlor politics. I hope it doesn’t disappoint. Also, the picture makes it look dark as night, but that there is a gorgeous cup of @stdalfourukofficialu peppermint tea. A perfect nightcap.

I’m really excited by this novel. I’m reading this, followed by Northanger Abbey, to compare the original gothic romance to the Austen satire.

One for school, one for me. I’m literally just going back and forth every 15-20 pages or so. It is interesting, when I do this, how tgere are things in each book, books that seem to have no connection, that tie in with one another. Today’s tie, the impetus of anger at being silenced by Madame Germaine de Staël, early French-German voice of the romantic literary era, her voice one of the beginnings of that romantic revolution.

Rebecca Traister always makes me think, makes me proud, and makes me so grateful to be a woman and a feminist. Today she is helping me be also grateful for the fire in my belly as a queer woman in this America.

Avoidance can look so pretty. But really, I have practice in two hours, a homemade vegan chickpea curry on the stove, some of my (controversial) fall favorites in the candy bowl, a new planner - ready for my bright red pen, and the never dull (I’m lying) Graduate Literature degree homework to keep me busy. A little Bridge City later, and a perfect rainy, cloudy day in Portland.

I don’t know how else to say it. I’ve heard a hard time this week with the news, but I am happy. And this kind of fall stuff makes me feel all of the best feelings.
