“Life begins without our choice and ends the same way, a straight line of birth, breath, death. It’s us, our ideas and hopes and dreams and needs, that make the way difficult.”
― Jenni Howell, Boys with Sharp Teeth

“I hate that place and its sorrys. Sorry has never fixed anything. It just bares the wound; it doesn’t bind it.”

“Social media is inherently unequal. I mean, even if we disregard race entirely, there are so many barriers to accessibility. Who can afford a phone? Who has access to stable internet? Who has time to scroll and learn about trends instead of clocking in to a double shift to feed their families? Even what country you’re born in affects it. There’s nothing equal about social media. Sure, once in a blue moon it uplifts creators from underserved backgrounds, but that’s like finding a unicorn amid a stable of horses.”
― Liann Zhang, Julie Chan Is Dead
