Encanto Book Tag

I watched Encanto while housesitting and ended up in a puddle on the floor. This movie is INTENSE. It absolutely deserved the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. If you haven't yet, please watch it. I found this book tag, created by Passport to Eden over on BookTube, on It's Just a Coffee Addicted Bibliophile. The… Continue reading Encanto Book Tag

THINGS THAT BRING ME JOY: Disney Emoji Blitz

I AM NOT HAVING A GOOD TIME. For many of us, Bad Time is kind of the default.

Second-string Fantasy Feminists

I came across a character I'd never heard of the other day that I immediately wanted on my fantasy feminist team. I would've called the post dedicated to her "The 12th (Wo)man: Rounding out the Fantasy Feminist Line-up." Then I discovered a whole host of female characters that I love. My reasons for choosing these… Continue reading Second-string Fantasy Feminists
