This month, we’re reading “Lost in Summerland,” by Barrett Swanson, and this week is all about how we’re experiencing the article so far. Share your first impressions in the comments!
I love the reclaiming of "Gemini"! Thanks, Summer, for talking about the theme of belonging. I think that connects back to last month's Article Club text, when we were talking about what it means to belong as a boy/adolescent male. Just in very different contexts! Still a sort of "brotherhood" though. I also appreciated what you said about Article Club not needing to grow for the sake of growth! I felt really validated by that in terms of what I'm doing for work now - I'm an administrator who decides how many classes to offer the community, so when my brain goes "oh it has to be bigger and better," I don't always need to listen. Thanks for sharing!
