Spellbound by Ophelia Silk

2 highlights

A wave of something washed over her. She couldn’t put a name to it, but it felt very right, to be here to greet Adelaide as she entered the threshold of the house.

Vanessa’s Quotes

“Can I call it haunted when I'm every ghost?”
― Samara Breger, A Long Time Dead

“Hasty headlines had been quick to proclaim the coup a 'failed attempt,' but I was not so sure. It was never really about votes, it was about views. The true site of power was not within the Senate walls: it was online, in the audience, in the engagement, in the algorithms. The coup was pure performativity, an event without a centre, familiar enough to any influencer accustomed to staging life via an iPhone.”
― Olivia Yallop, Break the Internet: in pursuit of influence

“I didn't want to have to pour concrete around my heart in an attempt to shield me from the blast.”
― Jill Duggar, Counting the Cost

“Don’t you think it’s a bit weird that when you’re dreaming, you can scare yourself? Really, how can you not know that someone’s going to leap out from behind the bushes, when it’s you who put them there? Conscious, unconscious, Freud, something something? I gues it’s the same thing with desires. They similarly exist inside you but can still take you by surprise.”
― Tabitha Carvan, This Is Not a Book About Benedict Cumberbatch: The Joy of Loving Something--Anything--Like Your Life Depends On It

“When Audre Lorde wrote that oft-instagrammed quote: 'Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare,' she didn't mean that self-care should be selfish or a form of self-flagellation, that it should be an overpriced moisturizer or a painful procedure. Self-care, in reality, is supposed to coincide with community care. It means taking time for yourself so that you can better support those around you - resting so that you can be a part of the revolution, helping other women with child-care, prepping meals for those in need or providing a voice for the voiceless. We, as women, win and lose together. Sorority is self-care.”
― Ellen Atlanta, Pixel Flesh: How Toxic Beauty Culture Harms Women
