Your phone has had enough of your attention. For two hours, we’re doing the opposite of the internet: sitting in a room with other people and actually reading. No assigned book. No performance. No one asking you to summarize your thoughts every five minutes.
🌾 We're getting together to talk about Leo Tolstoy's How Much Land Does a Man Need? Wanting more can feel responsible when you call it security. Saving for a home or a difficult year is not the same as greed, but the amount that feels safe can keep rising along with what you have.
🎭 We're getting together to talk about Othello. Once you suspect betrayal, a late reply or an awkward pause can start to look like evidence. You may still be asking questions, but only accepting answers that confirm your suspicion. An explanation can then sound like an excuse, and reassurance can look like another attempt to fool you.
👽 We're getting together to talk about John Carpenter's The Thing (1982). A demand for proof sounds reasonable until nobody can satisfy it. Once suspicion becomes the safest position to take, even cooperation can look like a performance, and people may protect themselves in ways that make everyone less safe.
🛸 We're getting together to talk about Octavia Butler's Bloodchild. You can genuinely care for someone and still have very little freedom in the arrangement that binds you. If refusing their terms puts your safety at risk, affection does not settle whether your agreement is freely given.
