Sunday had beautiful weather -- a warmer and a little sticker than
Saturday, but still a great day to be out walking, so after lunch we
went to the canal, which had a lot of bikers for a fundraiser event we
hadn't known about -- almost none of them wore masks and they rode side
by side taking up the whole path in places -- but once they were past,
it wasn't crowded and although the frogs were hiding, we saw herons, a
snake, a skink, and many, many turtles:
I came home to chat with
fannish friends, then we had dinner and watched this week's
Lovecraft Country, which had a scene far more
horrifying than the one that made me stop watching
Outlander. I get the visceral hatred and demolition
of white female bodies; the rape of a white man with a high heel until
there's blood everywhere is something else entirely, and the suggestion
that everyone would be a rapist if they could undercuts the progressive
message.
