when i read books like this that are out of date, i will look up the statistics that they mention and see how they compare to now. i learned in 2023 the U.S hit a new record low for teen births! compared to this book, published in 1995; teen births were 96 pregnancies per 1000 girls, ages 15-19. in 2023 it was 13.5 pregnancies per 1000 girls ages 15-19. the more you know!

the essence of this book boils down to “you shouldn’t look down on these women for using welfare”, yet, there are times when the author herself takes up a haughty tone

porfiry is such a beast, true 🐐

i know it’s lame, but i really do enjoy reading these kind of books. i think the authors are so poignant (especially most of them are written by women), i just wish they weren’t so outdated.

it’s funny the main character is a literal murderer but he’s more likable than the insufferable rich luzhin

gooooood, i thought we’ve seen enough of pyotr petrovich

porfiry is santa claus-kin. i like that he’s toying with raskolnikov heheheh

raskolnikov leaving and razumikhin going after him…getting real sasuke and naruto vibes from this

good lord, did everyone in old russia speak french?

god, this is getting good

okay, when do raskolnikov and razumikhin kiss?
