"I'm considering putting this down and moving onto something else for a bit. It's a shame, because this series has done some really great work in presenting the uglier parts of America's past and present through the lens of fantasy, but the story's momentum has slowed to a crawl right when the tension should be at its highest. Maybe I'm just not in the right headspace for this right now." — Sep 01, 2021 02:49AM

“You’re not really mad that I’m not having children.
In fact, I would probably love to one day.
You’re mad that I’m expressing autonomy of choice.
You’re mad that I’m considering other options.
You’re mad that I don’t view that as my ultimate potential.
You’re mad that I dare be selfish enough to make choices based on my best interest, something women are not supposed to do.
You’re mad that I consider it a choice, and that I, a woman, am exercising choice.
You’re not mad that I’m not having babies.
You’re mad because I’m acting like a man.”
