Freaks - 1931 or 1932.
An important film in disability history; this is essentially a soap opera slash horror film that takes place among people who are members of a side show / freak show. There are some non-disabled characters as well; one of the problems is that 2 of the non-disabled women look almost exactly alike. The writing was honestly pretty terrible but it was so neat to see a cast of many different disabled people.

Ted Lasso, S2 episodes 1 and 2. Loving this so far. Warning for dog death in the first episode. One of the lines I've been turning over in my head is "Every person is a different person."
Leverage Redemption. Watching this a bit slowly.
TomboyLand - audio book. Really liked this this essay / memoir book by an author who grew up local to me. The first essay, about tornadoes, was particularly powerful. The sirens went off a couple of nights ago, and in the past I've not taken them seriously. But this time Abbie and I went to the basement.
