"Whew. I love listening to Mary Roach. Her curiosity, amusement, and insight conveyed in her writing is a delight in spoken words. But yikes this one feels distressing. Burns. Other trauma. I require breaks." May 16, 2026 07:24PM

Rainbow Rowell
“To really be a nerd, she'd decided, you had to prefer fictional worlds to the real one.”
Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl

Emily Henry
“All I really want is to build a house with a nice, big porch that gets used every day.”
Emily Henry, The Love That Split the World

Søren Kierkegaard
“It is perhaps the misfortune of my life that I am interested in far too much but not decisively in any one thing; all my interests are not subordinated in one but stand on an equal footing.”
Soren Kierkegaard

“The reality is that fat people are often supported in hating their bodies, in starving themselves, in engaging in unsafe exercise, and in seeking out weight loss by any means necessary. A thin person who does these things is considered mentally ill. A fat person who does these things is redeemed by them. This is why our culture has no concept of a fat person who also has an eating disorder. If you’re fat, it’s not an eating disorder — it’s a lifestyle change.”
Lesley Kinzel

Marisa Meltzer
“But wouldn't [the Spice Girls] have shown a little bit more solidarity if they had at least called themselves feminists? The feminist activist Jennifer Pozner was more dismissive,writing that it was "probably a fair assumption to say that 'zigazig-ha' is not Spice shorthand for 'subvert the dominant paradigm.”
Marisa Meltzer, Girl Power: The Nineties Revolution in Music
