Manhattan Beach, by Jennifer Egan: historical fiction about the first female deep-sea diver repairing battleships at the Brooklyn Navy Yard during WW2. Plus a glimpse into pre-Roe NYC. A fascinating history that felt all too timely https://t.co/H8bZE2bUiM

Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands, by Kate Beaton: I'm blown away by this graphic memoir about Alberta's oil work camps. A helluva story that gets at exploitative capitalism, toxic masculinity, environmentalism, settler colonialism, and so much more https://t.co/1YIOF3ZBmm
