emotional read, this book is making me wanna ask older lesbians what it was like back then. had a flashback abt when me and my gf was at sf and this older gay guy asked how our photobooth pic turned out and we showed our 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩pics. i love gay towns+i’m so grateful for older lesbians for paving the way for us to be ourselves and i can even show gay pics to strangers? i’m so so grateful

it’s crazy to me how u have to help thensoldiers to have “epiphanies” about how palestinians are also human. its fucked up how brainwashed one can be

sounds a bit extreme/contradicting when talking about others. 1. ignore what’s going on in other people’s souls 2. grateful for others how they impacted ur life for the better but i’m excited to take away some good life lessons

THE MORAL AMBIGUITY GOES CRAZY

i related so much to how arisa thinks, like yes ppl r diff but if u keep complaining what u don’t have and not rly do anything to get what u want how r u gnna improve. but then also there’s a problem w privilege etc where ppl have better education opportunities. idk i just realized how u see other ppl is like a reflection of how u lived ur life and its inevitable to think one way of living is not as good than urs

i feel like every book of hers revolving around daughter & mother is the same? bc the last one i read lit had the same theme and so im bored. to explain one of the theme is the complex relationship between mom& daughter, where the daughter unconsciously choose to do sth (esp her love life) based on what their mom wants
