Nothin'
What are you currently reading?
The Women's House of Detention: A Queer History of a Forgotten Prison by Hugh Ryan (Author) - In the 30s and early 40s, homosexuality wasn't exactly encouraged, but people weren't violently homophobic. It was the red scare in the 50s which also became the lavender scare. You can see this with the various queer prisoners at the jail. The social workers really try to discourage and separate the women in relationships with each other.
This book is still kind of a slog. It never finds its rhythm. But it's not bad. Definitely won't finish it in time for the book club meeting tomorrow though.
And yes yes, i have a longer entry coming. i was just trying to get caught up on my DW reading page before I updated.
