fffriday here (discussion in the comments of both the comm post and her personal journal post): Move Rec: The Favourite (2018). The comm itself is worth checking out! Recs for femslash books, movies, & fanfic, posted every Friday.
I also always find interesting articles through Anne Helen Petersen's twitter feed. She's a pop culture writer with Buzzfeed who specializes in celebrity profiles & social commentaries, and she recently published a piece called How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation which got a lot of traction, and then curated some responses from folks with other experiences for this follow-up. I first heard of her through her excellent, insightful profiles of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner a few years ago--both worth reading if you like critical takes on class, celebrity image, and the publicity machine.
Watching:
I got caught up on season 4 of Legends of Tomorrow, then got curious and went back to Season 1 to see how the show started out. I've been jumping around watching episodes here and there, mostly in the background while I play a game on my phone. My wife tends to wander away because she says it's too loud (all the dramatic music and fight sounds, I think)! I'm liking Sara Lance a lot more as I watch through her early-season character arcs. I like that one of her big characterizations is "cannot visit the past without seducing some historical lady." I'm in Season 2 now and curious to see how the Time Bureau gets started.
Also, The Good Place is back!
