is adhd culture going to gigs two nights in a row, staying up still 2am reading a book in another language and listening to interviews of a current musical obsession? or is that just lily culture?

why is this so LONG

why i’m picking a book in spanish up while i’m learning french? you tell me

I DONT WANT THIS TO END

goodreads app is.. so bad

youtuber fransina simone hit the nail on the head: important books aren’t necessarily good. that’s the tea with this. it just, plainly, isn’t great

oml michelle detailing a vivid dream of a lion coming to the white house because she’s an anxious mess is... a fat mood

it is not good that it’s taken 150 pages for this to get anywhere. THATS NOT GOOD WRITING SIS, NO MATTER HOW IMPORTANT THE SUBJECT MATTER IS

WATCH ME READ AND FINISH AN ART HISTORY ASSIGNMENT IN ONE AFTERNOON 🤠

i will stand by the fact i’ve been watching queer eye far more than reading but that show is like heroin to me

like... i don’t like staying up super late bc i don’t sleep enough as is, but it’s so peaceful when it’s dark and no ones awake and its just quiet, just you and the bugs and city sounds. it’s a kind of nirvana i think.

“Reality is crushing. The world is a wrong sized shoe. How can anyone stand it?”<\i> pg.138
acoustic arctic monkeys, cold weather and tea. IM SO EMO FOR THAT

so much to chew on! infinitely more fascinating than aristotelian theories of the soul 😉

you’ve gotta give props to this book. i read a bit in the morning and thought about it throughout the day, wanting to get back to it.

i can’t decide whether i like this or not? either way i just wanna keep reading it so that’s surely a positive.

“In order to function, the Beauty Myth requires a disconnect between our selves and our bodies. We are seperated by shame and ignorance, taught that our physical selves are our enemies. Knowing your body closes the gap; knowing the skills and how to use them puts power back into women’s hands.” pg.62
OH BOY i’m so tired i kinda fell asleep during the last few pages there

i can only enjoy this in small sittings because it is so beautiful.
“Women have always been expected to be the custodians of everyone else’s feelings but our own. We can even feel responsible for how other people respond to our bodies.” pg.53

a lot of this harkens back to game of thrones? i’m really wondering how much inspiration SJM got from it now

this writing is whack-a-doodle

MY MONDAY LECTURE GOT CANCELLED CAN I GET A HELL YEAH

this might be queer but i am hating it so far (to be fair i’ve had a bad day so i may be treating it unfairly)

y’all ever just love women? are immensely proud of women? are confused by how shitty the goodreads app is? yeah

y’all ever just... love women? are proud of women?

needed this after today’s christchurch fuckery

sooo fed with phenomenal pizza and mind blowing wine that i couldn’t finish this today but i AM DETERMINED to do it tomorrow (whilst avoiding sociology readings... again)

how many books can she start and not finish?
in other words this is shaping up to be one of my favourite books ever just you wait AND WHILE YOU WAIT GET YOURSELF A COPY.

“We do not tremble except for ourselves, or for those whom we love.” pg.348

just a reminder i never shut up: i've hit 150 reviews!

i just cannot... see how people won't admit women have struggled? like what history did you learn? wtf?

the humour of this is balanced PERFECTLY which is always my concern with books like this (arabella i know you loved this!). it’s also a great break between dense ass uni readings.
