Late Bloomers and Literary Wit

The ladies pay  tribute to the Queen of Drag and to the makeup of language!

 Consider buying books by authors mentioned in today's episode (and, hey, Aaron's and James's too!) at an independent bookstore. If you need a recommendation, we like Loyalty Bookstore, a Black-owned indie in DC, or The Ivy, a woman-owned indie in Baltimore.

2. Watch Fleabag tell the hairdresser that hair is everything!  (If you can believe it, we recorded this episode before "Fleabaggots," and if you haven't listened to that episode of Breaking Form, we totally recommend it. It's not hair, but it's pretty close to everything).

3. Read Dickinson's Poem 303 ("The Soul Selects Her Own Society")

4. You can watch the iconic "reading challenge" of the current season of RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars Season 7 here (~5 min).
