I know we’re small, but would there be enough people here interested in committing to a book club or maybe just a movie or show watching group? The book club could maybe be for short stories to start, or less than one book a month. Something manageable and low pressure. A movie or tv group would be one movie a month. I have a lot on my lists that I don’t have a lot of irl friends interested in. Would love to have a place to chat about that media with women who have also experienced the media. I could take this to book communities, but I’d like to increase my consumption of media related to women so I feel like there might be some natural interest here.
Oooh! Ursula is a fantastic pick and my personal favorite author. Even if we decide on something that’s a re-read for me from her I’d call it a good problem. And if not, all the better!
What I had in terms of serious movies was “Women Talking”, which is an entire cast of women and a single man who barely speaks. Set in an amish community where the women have been systematically drugged and SA’d. Tragically based off real events, but a fantastic film. Given the subject matter I wouldn’t blame anyone who would pass on it but it is one that prompts a lot of discussion.
Love that suggestion!
