The cover of my copy is way cuter than this 🤔

Imagine talking to a reporter for their book and then they describe you as “a fleshy, garrulous man” 😭

Something funny about the audiobook is he does accents whenever there’s a quote from someone from another country

It’s so interesting to see CPS represented and the caseworkers always piss me off. I wonder if any caseworkers actually walk around with cups demanding urine samples.

I actually need Becca to die

Thinking about how 2010s this is…if she wrote this today Shane’s eating disorder (let’s call it what it is!!!) would have been all about protein instead of plant based

Lmao I can’t help myself!!!! I know it will be bad but oh well

“Her eyes are nearly navy, with flecks of gold”

Googled chip butty- wtf

Omg what happened at the dang barbecue!!!!!!

Aunt Lydia read by Ann dowd LMAO

“Ben Franklin’s birth took place on a Sunday, which in that era implied that the parents had had sex on a Sunday“

God people in the past were so dumb

This book is so frustrating bc they include very detailed genograms with no key! How am I supposed to know what the heck three lines with a zigzag line through them means!!!!

“Self-harm is a defensive, life-preserving act for those who use it, although not necessarily consciously chosen. It is a way of reclaiming ownership of the body, now under one’s own will and not used and abused by another.
…
Her pain was unspoken, but this wound was real.”

“And culture itself is not a monologue, but a dialogue. Our families are themselves made up of many cultural roots. No matter what a person’s background is, it is effectively multicultural, as all marriages are at a level intercultural.”

Not sure I continue past “throbbing rectum”

Lowkey this is grossing me out and making me sad……

Saying you can let it go that someone painted “bitch” on your door….ms Thomas STAND UP!!!

Listening to the audiobook and Angela Davis reads it like it’s her first time interacting with the text lmao

Doing laundry alone in my basement while listening to this…..IM SCARED AS HELL!

Him calling his caseworker “baggy eyes”… new fear unlocked

“The police begged again for peace as they rolled their tanks forward.”

“We do not excuse him or the chaos & pain he thrust into the world, but because we see & know that what he did in a moment of confusion & rage was an assault on all that is sacred, we must remember & see that what we’ve done to him in retribution has promised him that he was right. Retribution of the same kind promises he was not wrong but rather that he was small. To punish this way is to water a seed.”

As the sister of a brother, I LOVE Lincoln’s chapter !!!!!!
