I enjoyed a number of thoughts in this book and maybe, like Cultish, I'll feel more fond of this book after some time has passed and I've digested it. I think I expected this book to be a deeper dive into the nature of irrationality in a broader and ...more

This was pretty good! The kind of book I could sit down and read from morning until night. My favorite thing was definitely the competency of the political drama. I am usually bored by the usual fantasy politics of a scheming uncle or an heir denied ...more

Wow! I can see why so many people consider this a classic, it really did have an iconic feel and I could see the bones of other modern books built by this one. The language is really something, though I was surprised by the judgmental tone and self-c ...more

This was cute and I enjoyed reading it! The story of a librarian that returns from a leave of absence for a mental breakdown. Does a good job of depicting how absurd the current politicization of libraries is and I enjoyed spending time with the main ...more

“Strangling is perfectly natural—no need to be ashamed. I did it to my Barbie Dolls and everything.” Sarah rolled her eyes. “They really do send them up crazier each year.”
Jacquelynn Lyon, The Soft Landing Collection: Sapphic Fantasy and Science Fiction Stories

“Sarah Reyes,” she repeated slowly, blinking into the dark. “I’m from Minneapolis.”

The Perks Of Bein...: Team Roswell 913 226 May 09, 2025 06:08PM  
“Write a short story every week. It's not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row.”
Ray Bradbury

“Lord, I confess I want the clarity of
catastrophe but not the catastrophe.
Like everyone else, I want a storm I can
dance in.
I want an excuse to change my life.”
Franny Choi, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On

“People ask me, “Have you tried yoga? Kombucha? This special water?” And I don’t have the energy to explain that yes, I’ve tried them. I’ve tried crystals and healing drum circles and prayer and everything. What I want to try is acceptance. I want to see what happens if I can simply accept myself for who I am: battered, broken, hoping for relief, still enduring somehow. I will still take a cure if it’s presented to me, but I am so tired of trying to bargain with the universe for some kind of cure. The price is simply too high to live chasing cures, because in doing so, I’m missing living my life. I know only that in chasing to achieve the person I once was, I will miss the person I have become.”
Alice Wong, Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-first Century
