"Story 1: Gender Studies. Idk that I really connected to it in only 19 pages but it was alright. If I were Nell I too would’ve blamed the bus driver bc he’s a trump supported, but I don’t think that’s what I was supposed to take away. Something something class, something something power imbalance" Mar 03, 2026 03:36AM

“In popular language, middle-class children can be said to have been “born on third base but believe they hit a triple.”
Annette Lareau, Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race, and Family Life

“Death." Gansey read the bottom of the card. He didn't sound surprised or alarmed. He just read the words like he would read eggs or Cincinnati.
"Great job, Maura," Calla said. Her arms were crossed firmly over her chest. "You going to interpret that for the kid?"
"Possibly we should just give him a refund," Persephone suggested, although Gansey had not yet paid.”
Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“Carline came to offer comfort, but I end up being the one

who wraps a blanket around her when she dozes off,
finishes doing her hair gently so she can sleep in
in the morning, parents her as best I can

before she becomes one. & I remember I have none”
Elizabeth Acevedo, Clap When You Land

“What I can’t let go of is the way I tried just now to tell my mum my world was falling apart, and she left.”
Emma Lord, Tweet Cute

Elizabeth Acevedo
“I press my mouth tight to keep my quivering lip to myself.
& I look at my mother & smile.

Never, ever let anyone see you sweat.
& if my mother paid attention

at a single one of my matches
she knows: when Yahaira Rios smiles

just before she makes a move,
you better watch the fuck out”
Elizabeth Acevedo, Clap When You Land
