It’s hard to say goodbye to Thisby, but our time with this text is through. We wrap our first season by reflect on the last three chapters.
It’s race day! We unpack chapters 59-63 through the themes of courage and generosity. Don’t mind us, we’re just weeping into our sleeves.
Well, this section was rough! We read chapters 53-58 through the themes of awareness and grief. There’s needless violence, a funeral, and a kiss. It’s a lot.
We critically examine everything that happens in chapters 41-52 through the themes of yearning (check!) and necessity (check!). A lot of feelings in this one!

We’re back with chapters 28 through 32 this week. It’s the Scoprio Festival and our themes of identity and desire can be found everywhere.
We critically examine everything that happens in chapters 20 through 27 and this time we each chose a theme to focus on: Jen V took pride and Jenn D tackled privilege.
