Down to the last episode of Mad Men s4. Oh my God Don you total fool I can't believe this Megan storyline. I have been screaming internally for the last 20 minutes. Thank god for Peggy channelling my feelings.

I've had this book titled "Queer: A Graphic History" on my bookshelf since 2020 and finally got around to reading it. And don't you hate it when you consume a piece of media (whether it's a book, movie, tv show, video game) and what it says on the tin is something completely different? And not in a "oh that was surprisingly different, but I liked it!" way more in a "you know you don't have to force yourself to finish it... right?".

When I read "Queer: A Graphic History" I think, oh it's about the history of LGBTQIA+ stuff. So activism, people, the history itself. Nope... it's about queer theory (basically looking at things through a queer lens, whether it's entertainment, politics, philosophy, general life, etc). And I don't mind queer theory, I did a bit of it at uni, I did an assignment using queer theory. I love queer theory (as a queer). But it just felt so dry and like I was so annoyed that this book that I've been excited to read, is just not at all what I thought it was.

Oh well... next on the list is Heartstopper vol 1 and 2.

How come Wikipedia never discusses meaning or emotion in articles about books, movies and songs?

This has bothered me for a while.

Sure I understand that meaning and emotion may differ according to viewer but surely they can discuss what the authors meant?
