Important kitty update: the angel and the devil have switched roles and now no one is safe. Kris and Tara discuss the correct nomenclature around being a friend to cats. Labels are bandied around and a suitable title is found. In other news, Tara’s youngest turns ten and there’s some talk about milestones before, you guessed it, this week’s recommendations!
Official Recommendations
From Kris: Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara (2024)
Kris’s official recommendation this week is the 2024 documentary, Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara. 15 years ago, Tegan's identity was stolen. This began an unending ordeal of someone pretending to be them to have secret relationships with people in and outside their lives. Kris warns that this is a rough watch, but there’s a lot to learn and it’s important to spread the message.
From Tara: The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet by Lindz McLeod
Tara’s official recommendation this week is The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet by Lindz McLeod. This sapphic historical romance takes place a few years after the events of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. After Mr. Collins dies, Lizzie sends her sister Mary to console Charlotte, and Mary is nothing like Charlotte (or anyone who's read the book) remembers. Tara thoroughly enjoyed it and will be reading it again.
