Will wonders never cease, I actually consumed a non-book new-to-me thing this month.
We Are Lady Parts
A six-episode TV show about a British punk rock band of Muslim women in their late twenties. Super fun, great characters, and because I am incredibly predictable, my favourites are Amina, the microbiology PhD student with performance anxiety who gets recruited to be the band's lead guitarist, and Saira, the band's abrasive frontwoman who's nevertheless convinced Amina's the key to their success. Amina's parents are also delightful. Would recommend! (Probably will request it for Yuletide this year, if I do Yuletide)
Mass Effect 2
Finished the replay, suicide mission and all those DLC. Usual shitposting here.

This. Isn't. Sparta - seven-part blog series dismantling the myths of Spartan equality and military domination
Vox article about the Isabel Fall sitch - Decent piece, but I feel like there's a little too much blame allocated to Twitter The Website alone. I dunno, none of us are free from the influence of the structures we socialize within, but there are actually plenty of people on the blue hellsite who manage to not be jerks, or make strange assumptions.
