Status Updates From There There

The ending is wrapping up very quickly

Been flying through this and really enjoying it
Anticipating how it will be tied together.

whats gonna happen

Taking a quick pause bc Blue’s chapter has me crying :’)

Hmm okay maybe I can fr finish this hehe

Will I finish this tn…?? I better :’)

I want to be done

Was like 10% in and then read the goodreads summary snd I’m like shIT THERE ARE DIFFERENT MAIN CHARACTERS bc no I was not paying enough attention thru the audiobook. So uh crisis averted, caught up on spark notes, thank you goodreads. I woulda been so confused

not to get political on main, but I’m going to get political on main. To read this, especially the introductions and interludes, is to bear witness to a systemic and horrible injustice. I am so goddamn SICK. White people have oppressed half the globe. More. To see the country I live in defaulting towards this again, after everything we’ve seen, all the history lessons and cautionary tales—it’s too much.

This moment where the main character knows a Stein quote in context and broader understanding and some guy quotes it at him in a really shallow way? Excellently captured frustration.

Kids are jumping out of fhe windows or burning buildings and we think that the problem is that they are jumping

Help I wanna finish this but I’m feeling so uninspired 😭

Actually into this book finally omg

wow i cant wait to read about a shooting for the rest of the book- so fun

Powerful, Raw, and Thought Provoking. This is an important book about the modern day urban Native American experience.

there's so much going on rn

I need to stop napping and lock in😔

Well the first story is about a kid who might smuggle bullets into an arena-Tony. The second Dene is trying to get native stories made into a film because that was his uncles dream. So far I like it. Never really took the time to consider native stories so I don’t see this book letting me down

I like the line bout devastation… like sitting next to an apple tree

wow

Just an excellent read, i’m really enjoying it

I pity you if you haven’t read Tommy Orange’s books. There are only two but they are both perfect. Put the smut down and read Tommy Orange.

So I’m kinda back to confused about the point of views again. Like the book is good. I’m just a little lost

"The tragedy of it all will be unspeakable, the fact we’ve been fighting for decades to be recognized as a present-tense people, modern and relevant, alive, only to die in the grass wearing feathers."

current page

I really like how even tho each story is told from a different character's perspective, part2 gives stories from relatives/related characters to part1.

Good good

I’m liking it more and more. The multiple stories are kinda merging into one, and I like the depth that alot of the characters have.

Ok. I think I’m seeing the connection now. We’re getting into a more cohesive storyline
