I started this intending to skim, but I'm enjoying reading it so much that I may as well add it.

Only foreigners know about China's history, I thought.

Happy International Women's Day! Trans women are women, women activists were arrested today on the way to protesting Trump at Trump Tower, and if you deny being a "crazy" woman without humanizing your mentally ill comrades in gender, I want nothing to do with you.

How bored do you need to be to conscientiously seek out someone whom you pissed off with your antisemtism and send them a friend request.

I prefer to die for a crime I have committed rather than to die for one of the crimes which you have committed.

My virtue, like the virtue of all those who are poor, could never be considered a quality, or an asset, but rather looked upon as a kind of stupidity, or simple-mindedness, to be despised even more than depravity or vice.

...they might wont your pussy, but if you do anything to get back at them, it'll be your life they be wonting, and then they make even that some kind of sex show, all them beatings and killings wasn't nothing but sex circuses, and all them white peoples, mens, womens, and childrens crowding around to see...

If any white boy wants to win me over in this day and age, it's as simple as being Philip Pullman and announcing that you're releasing a companion trilogy to the His Dark Materials series.

People getting mad that this video game character is "coded mentally ill" and I'm like 1. you're incapable of doing that "coded" if you're not mentally ill kthxbai and 2. why yes that character is indeed mine thank you for respecting that.

My veins are centuries meeting.

There is no difference between a Nazi who wants me dead and a neurotypical who wants me dead.

I'm never going to run out of eugenicists to block on this hell site, am I.

Some will be pleased to know that Anne Carson receives the full bio + selection of works treatment in here.

Napoleon's fucking around here right now and I'm like, that looks familiar.

The majority of those whining about Trump now were nowhere to be found when the first opportunities to shut him down rolled around. If there's one thing I don't trust, it's children who deny actions have consequences up until the point that they're sitting in their own shit, mewling and puking for their mommy. Not even useful mewling and puking, mind you. They'd have to stop normalizing Nazis to do that.

"However criminal and even beastly the deeds might have been that helped colonize the American continent, they remained acts of single men, and if they gave cause for generalization and reflection, these reflections were perhaps upon some beastly potentialities inherent in man's nature, but hardly upon the political behavior of organized groups, and...

The more exciting part of this is all the names of authors who are women/people of color whom I haven't heard of. Still lacking on the women of color front, though, even for my micro expectations. The fact that I haven't run across Morrison in any capacity is an atrocity.

This is a great litmus test.

So many friend requests giving their reason as wanting to see my reviews/shelves and I'm like...that's what libraries and media sources are for? I'm a human being? Stop conflating your utilitarianism with my healthy social interactions?

It's not like I never read white boys. I just expect all white boys to be on the level of 'worth' reading. Aka, Keats. Or Melville. Or Shakespeare. Simply put, if they're not good enough to merit taking a class devoted entirely to them and/or a sample of their works, there's no point.

Pictures are broken yet again, so let's try this.

Latest haul. None of those new books GR keeps shoving down our throats. I bought around three quarters of these out of an adverse reaction to studying so many white boys instead of from cultivated interest, but it'll work out.

Thus far: white supremacy's disortion of historical records doesn't need to be critiqued, the contemporary poor are a bunch of selfish bastards, and the world of 1984 would have its uses if everyone stopped whining about the fact that poverty is artificially constructed via corruption. This has its uses, but I'd rather be reading the Ancient Greeks being referenced.

It's good to know I can go nearly two weeks without doing any proper reading, but I never want to go that long again.

Got a 92 percentile score on my first GRE English subject practice test. I wish there was a percentile to chance-of-grad-school-giving-a-full-ride calculator.

Oh lord, what is it with neurotypicals and their self-absorbed trash.
