The Moon is Down by John Steinbeck. This was apparently written as WWII era propaganda for nations that had been invaded by Germany and they translated and secretly printed copies. It's about a fictional town under occupation and how the people clandestinely fight back--escaping, slowing work, general everyday hostility, dynamiting railroad tracks, not giving up, etc. Honestly some of it feels relevant to today with regards to capitalism and the current rise of fascism.

Mostly I've been catching up on some classic movies I never watched. Memento, The Hurt Locker, Lawrence of Arabia, My Own Private Idaho, Everything Everywhere All at Once. EEAAO was fun and did make me cry over the fucking rocks and the mother/daughter relationship and the 'I would have liked just doing laundry and taxes with you' scene.

Also watched Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die which I enjoyed as a weird timeloop movie. Immediately clocked Dino Fetscher in his bit part but did not realize for the entire movie that Sam Rockwell was the main character. Then I looked up what else Dino Fetscher is in lately and unfortunately I cannot find Welsh detective show Under Salt Marsh anywhere because I would watch that. Will just have to watch him and Ben Daniels in season 2 of Foundation again.

Fandomwise, I'm still trapped in my obsession with Scott and Kip from the hockey show and I made a fic rec list for fun and community service since this is not the ship 99% of the fandom is obsessed with but there is great fic for people to read!
