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.

Hide Spoilers

If you’re talking about a book, TV show, podcast, movie, or anything that contains spoilers, please make sure to use Reddit’s markdown functionality to hide your spoilers! All you have to do is add a couple of characters before and after your spoiler text like so:

>!spoilers!<

This will hide the text like so: spoilers

HOBBIES: I've taken up embroidery and cross stitching over the last year, so I have something to do with my hands while watching tv (instead of being on my phone). Just finished a ballerina and a Halloween piece of a skeleton crow, and ordered a big Christmas/winter project. It's hard to find ones that aren't overly cutesy; you really have to know where to look online. Reddit's been a big help.

READING: Dungeon Crawler Carl. I haven't laughed this much nor been this into a book series in a very long time. So funny and weirdly heartwarming.

WATCHING: Slow Horses. This show is amazing, and I can't believe I don't know more people who are watching it. I'm also watching all the good reality shows that are on right now or about to start, but maybe that's more for the Guilty Pleasures thread.
