 I'm still fumbling toward a reading notes process at the moment, as well as deciding what I'll leave in my own private "processing notes" and what more polished ideas I'll share here on my site. But I'll likely be adding a few posts as I highlight some of the best "takeaways" from this book—particularly the ones that could be useful within LIS. As I said, there's a wealth to appreciate in _How We Became Posthuman_, despite its overall omission of racialization and gender discourses from its analyses and history.

+### Office Space

+Oh! We also watched _Office Space_ over the weekend, partially to celebrate its 25th anniversary and partially to celebrate my spouse's change in employment.

+It still holds up, even though both of us are fortunate enough to work remotely.

+### Last Night

+Finally, to celebrate Canada Day, we played tabletop curling, feasted on our odd "poutine/nachos" concoction, listened to some of our favorite CanCon music, and watched [Last Night](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Night_(1998_film)), a wry film that reminded me of the "art house" movies I'd see in the 1990s.
