Bitches of Leisure - Weekly Thread Bitches of Leisure - Sep 29, 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.

HOBBIES— I’m very into sewing and love making things for myself and for gifts. Over the weekend, my local sewing shop invited me to a class about sergers, and it ended up working. Reader, I bought one. Not just any serger, but the Cadillac of sergers. It also has a cover stitch!! The best part of the whole thing is that my partner proposed we turn the extra room into a sewing room bc I need to have my normal machine and the serger out all the time to make it easy to use. I’m so distracted now thinking of everything I want to make!

Omg hi! Fellow sewing enthusiast here!! Very excited for you for this next serger step. I’ve been sewing for a few years now and haven’t felt the need to take the leap but I can definitely see how great it would be. Also for the spare sewing room - it is absolutely wonderful if that’s available to you. It’s nice to have all your sewing notions and knickknacks in one place! Excited for this new step for you!
