"Finished White Nights - not sure what the hype was about? Guy touches grass and obsesses over a his first crush. Big woop. I really hope I'll look back on this review and call myself a big stupid dummy idiot one day. Reading this kind of writing before bed probably isn't conducive to the best experience with it though.

I really like the final line. "My God, a moment of bliss. Why, isn't that enough for a lifetime?"" — Nov 06, 2025 09:30PM

"Acculturation between whites and natives was not an altogether impossible goal, as evidenced by whites assimilated into some native cultures. The narrative that natives simply couldn’t acculturate into white society fails to acknowledge that they were never given the opportunity to voluntarily assimilate - only forcibly removed." — 8 hours, 55 min ago
