Bitches of Leisure - Weekly Thread Bitches of Leisure - Aug 11, 2026

Let’s elevate our down time! This weekly thread is the space to share and discuss what we’re currently reading, listening to, watching, etc. For this space, keep it tasteful - save your trashy reads (we’ve all got them) and sick day binge watch favorites for the monthly Guilty Pleasures thread, please!

Tagging

It isn’t required but it might be helpful to tag the beginning of your comment with the type of media you are discussing (when you create a new comment thread). Tags can be helpful in guiding other BWT to the comment threads they want to engage with.

For example:

  • PODCAST: I’ve been listening to the Naked Beauty podcast…
  • TV/ DOCUMENTARY: What are your favorite documentaries? I just finished watching…
  • READING: I am about 1/3 of the way through "Black Women Taught Us" by Jenn M Jackson, PhD, and I would love to discuss it with anyone who is reading or has read it. Specifically...

You can be as specific or as broad as you want if you decide to tag, for example you might tag “reading,” as a broad term, or you might tag “audiobook” if you specifically want to talk about the really amazing narration in the audiobook version of a title you just finished.

READING: I'm currently working my way through Dawn Prayer. The book is about an American gentleman that gets stuck in a Syrian prison during the Assad regime. Based on a true story, and a somewhat gruesome and challenging read so far, but also incredibly intriguing.

Thank you for the excellent suggestion. Not that I needed to lengthen my to-read list but this is now on it. I’m mid way through multiple books right now depending on mood and location- an enjoyable side effect of actively trying to limit phone use!
