"this probably cannot solve your dating problems (and has certainly not solved mine) but boy she really does make me think! (and maybe it's androcentric of me to say "boy"...like should i be saying girl she really makes me think? i haven't finished the book yet so don't know enough to opine...)" Mar 09, 2025 09:36PM

Book cover for The Tragedy of Heterosexuality
As the African American feminist and activist Barbara Smith explained in 1979, “Heterosexual privilege is usually the only privilege that Black women have. . . . Maintaining ‘straightness’ is our last resort.”1

“fecal transplants from people with healthy microbiomes will one day provide a more effective treatment for depression than Prozac or therapy.”
Jonathan Kennedy, Pathogenesis: A History of the World in Eight Plagues

Sally Rooney
“What if the meaning of life on earth is not eternal progress toward some unspecified goal—the engineering and production of more and more powerful technologies, the development of more and more complex and abstruse cultural forms? What if these things just rise and recede naturally, like tides, while the meaning of life remains the same always—just to live and be with other people?”
Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

Jonathan     Kennedy
“The image of Neanderthals picking wildflowers to line the grave of a loved one really brings home how similar they were to us. Solecki claimed that his discovery revealed “that the universality of mankind and the love of beauty go beyond the boundary of our own species.”
Jonathan Kennedy, Pathogenesis: A History of the World in Eight Plagues

“inside I am aflame with gratitude that I have only myself to carry around, however heavy all these me’s might currently be.”
Glynnis MacNicol, I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself: One Woman's Pursuit of Pleasure in Paris

Sally Rooney
“All my mania for culture, for ‘really good’ things, for knowing about jazz recordings and red wine and Danish furniture, even about Keats and Shakespeare and James Baldwin, what if it’s all a form of vanity, or even worse, a little bandage over the initial wound of my origins? I have put between myself and my parents such a gulf of sophistication that it’s impossible for them to touch me now or to reach me at all.”
Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You
