rosa_heartlilyWe looked at the second chapter of Ruth today, discussing her role as 'alien in your midst', and how the OT really didn't like Moabites. But then King David was a direct descendent of Ruth... There's a suggestion that the book - based on an even more ancient oral tale - was written by a woman because it definitely understands a woman's pov, particularly around the threat to her personal safety. Boaz and Ruth operated within the patriarchy rather than smashing it, but the world's understanding has certainly moved on in the last 2500 years. We also touched on how none of us are expected to complete the work but neither can we ignore the work we're given to do.
I played a bit more of Trek to Yomi. It's a great game if you love fighting games but want something more relaxing. For me, I want story more than combat and it's light on that, despite telling me that 'easy' was for those who wanted to focus on story. But I'm not expecting it to be a long game. It's not my usual thing but that's the great thing about PS+; I get to try different things without committing extra cash. And it is a beautiful-looking game.
I've watched the first couple of episodes of Series 4 of Umbrella Academy. It's all getting very tense. Five's role is less pivotal but I think that's a good thing - it's more balanced.
And I'm finishing off the day by watching the end of DUM.
