Stacia’s Quotes

“My role in our relationship is to remain reliably broken. She fixes me and I ensure I remain a mess for her to fix. It's the most functional relationship I've ever had.”
― Rozie Kelly, Kingfisher

“I swear, the same people who lose their mind about their right to have a gun in a daycare are the same people who think slavery wasn't that bad. It's like, you can't even obey basic laws! Do you think you could be forced to work in captivity for someone for free till you die from it an be like, "Welp, that sure is some good eatin'!" I think the fuck not.”
― Amber Ruffin, The World Record Book of Racist Stories

“How telling it was that the word “shaman” in most countries conjures men, but not in Korea, as the kind of traumatizing experiences that define the shaman’s advent are so common for women in this country. Shinbyeong doesn’t make suffering occur, it’s suffering that makes shinbyeong happen. Shinbyeong and shinnaerim, the acceptance of the spirit, may have long provided an exit for many a suffering woman.”
― Suhyeon Lee, Alien Gods

“When Georgia's native son Jimmy Carter was elected President in 1976, the world marveled at his family. Mama, in her old age, left to serve as a missionary in India; wife, Rosalynn, told reporters about the family ghost; sister, Ruth, was a faith healer; brother, Billy, became the poster child for rednecks; and cousin Hugh, a state legislator, ran the world's largest worm farm. Jimmy himself had reported seeing a UFO, admitted lusting in his heart, and was attacked by a killer rabbit.

Georgians were puzzled by all the attention. Why would anybody think this family was weird?”
― Jim Miles, Weird Georgia: Your Travel Guide to Georgia's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets
