I read fast, and I think these stories were written to be read slowly, so it took some time to find the right rhythm. the mood is bittersweet and melancholy, much like the rainy weather today.

I mean, of course now I need to reread 1984. but it's interesting how the story was still very much the same despite being from another perspective. the structures repeat themselves over and over. what's an anarchist to do?

the moral of this story is, you can never assume anything about anyone especially in new york. free palestine.

I don't know why I thought I had read this already, but I definitely hadn't. it's totally devastating and really good. why do people want to ban it? too much honesty?

this is what I read on election night instead of watching the news or obsessively following the news on my phone, and it gave me so much hope. there are still people in the world who care and who are doing the work and taking care of their people and their communities. abortion doesn't always look or feel like what you think it does. abortion is care.

man, this one was powerful. wasn't sure what to make of it at first - it was kind of slow going, poking around the edges. and then, suddenly, you're smacked in the face with the enormity of what the american settler colonial project did to the people who were on this land first. without that project I wouldn't be here, and that's a lot to reckon with.

for a minute this made me wish I had gone to yale. it started good and hard but dragged a little in later chapters. apparently there is a sequel which I might check out...

on p. 27, and already feeling all the things

to be fair, graphic novels go faster than the kind of books that have more words and fewer pictures. but holy shit this was good. I think more people than want to admit question some aspect of their gender identity. and hence people are scared. read banned books, especially in 2024
