It’s a collection of Angela Davis interviews and speeches between 2013 and 2015. As a result, there are topics that get covered several times. Nevertheless, it’s difficult for me to get bored from Davis’s words, so the repetition never bothered me. Davis’s perspective is just the sort of inspiration I need in these times.

This thoroughly researched zine paints a fascinating portrait of Kittie Knox, a firebrand and an advocate for change in the early days of cycling. It explores her complicated relationship with the main cycling organization of her time, the League of American Wheelmen (today the League of American Bicyclists). And it describes her legacy, and how many of the issues of her day are still relevant today.

I thought I was getting a queer book about roller derby. Brace for Impact is that, and it's also a memoir of overcoming a lot of challenges from growing up in a difficult family situation, separating from the unsupportive family, and learning to embrace chosen family in its place.

I recently heard there was a new series called Dark Matter coming out and briefly got excited until I realized it has nothing to do with the TV series of the same name from 10 years ago.

But it did prompt me to finally check out the graphic novel the show was based on. It's not bad, but honestly the TV series was more satisfying because it had time to develop the characters. As far as I can tell the Dark Horse comic series was a pitch for the TV pilot. Apparently it was an effective one.

I'm still wishing we could get a new Dark Matter miniseries or novel or something to continue following the Raza or at least tie up the loose ends where the show got cancelled.
