i’m listening to the audiobook and having chanel read her story really burrows home every single emotion. when she called out the verdicts, i broke down in tears. when she read out his sentence i yelled profanities at my dinner cooking on the stove. her storytelling is absolutely captivating

“They tell me I should be grateful for the first birds who willingly came into this rusty cage, once speckled in stars and stripes, but it is hard to survive in a country that conquered your Motherland and pulverized your ancestors into gunpowder.”

The Birth of our Nation is painted White
To mask Black lips that turn Blue”

“Maybe none of this is about control. Maybe it isn’t really about who can own whom, who can do what to whom and get away with it… Maybe it’s about who can do what to whom and be forgiven for it.”

its almost suffocating reading this book at the moment. sometimes offred will say something about gilead’s society and the chilling familiarity of it almost knocks me over

it feels like the calm before the storm

i have absolutely zero knowledge of what goes on in this book and i’m so scared. i’m terrified bc kuang has a unique talent for hurting my feelings and i can see the seeds of my eventual breakdown being planted. i’m already mourning the end of this book and i’ve barely even begun. someone free me

somehow she’s managed to talk about everything and nothing at the same time
