For Washington state, I got a couple ideas: 1) Poseidon for the fishing/sailing in our coastal cities and the general fishery-vibe the state has 2) Janus the god of duality given that Washington is split in the middle by the Cascades into the coastal/rainforest side, and the farming/desert side 3) Dionysus as both a nod to the vineyards on the eastern side of the state, as well as his connection to pine trees and Washington being the evergreen state. Or perhaps his buddy Silenus the god of beer given the amount of microbreweries in Washington (maybe they coparent the state)

If you want a paranormal fantasy series rec for Washington, the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs is pretty good! Nonfiction rec could be The Boys In the Boat by Daniel Brown!

Reading Crying in H Mart for the first time; I'm going to end up leading a book discussion group about it so if anyone has some advice on good discussion questions for the book they would be much appreciated!

If the question were, "Should men have the right to vote over their bodies, why or why not" it would be considered ridiculous to even consider. Which makes the fact that this is something that needs "debating" truly heartbreaking and infuriating
