Bruh simpin hard for Anna Mercedes

Is the man Emma even thought about marrying going to fall for Harriet??

I don’t think I’m enjoying this?

At first I felt myself getting hooked, but by page 32, I’m not sure if I’m actually interested in this story or the narrator. I’ll keep pushing through and hopefully it gives more depth as I go on.

Definitely shows its age. I’m living the imagery though and craving pasta

Next up was “Fourth of July” a story about the narrators summer trip to Washington DC w/their family for the girls graduation. The narrator is young, and her immigrant parents don’t talk openly about racism, she struggles to understand what racism is exactly. An incident at an ice cream parlor is one of her first experiences of understanding.

Powerful. Use the anger from the wrongs of the world as a power source to fight for change. We must acknowledge the anger of our fellow women from all backgrounds, see our differences, & how we can be the oppressor & the oppressed. See the differences between white & black in our society & don’t hide from it or use anger from your guilt in defense. No woman, no Black person, is free until we are all free.

I finished the next section of prose “Use of the Erotic”. The language used requires me to read over& over again to understand what Lorde is saying. Which isn’t a complaint about the book, it shows that I really want to understand what I read. I believe the erotic is that intuition, joy, closeness, confidence,the knowing your self & your feelings & trusting them. The erotic is knowing your power as a woman.

I just finished “My Mothers Mortar”. Lorde’s writing is the kind that makes you turn inward and outward. Pausing a moment to fully understand what I’ve read why it made me feel the way it did. The story is, on the surface& in short about, a girl getting her period, her relationship with her body & with her body. At a time where I crave real& thought provoking& self reflection, I’m glad I bought this book.

This is actually my third time reading this book. Just getting into part two now

Currently in Paris in a panic as Miranda makes Andy’s life hell abroad!

Man, the problematic comments are in every chapter.

I’m actually enjoying reading this book. It’s kept me hooked and I like how much more information we get from the book than the movie. The movie is actually almost completely different. I actually don’t find Andy insufferable and sympathize with the stress fullness of the work-life balance.

It does suck to work with someone with such an attitude though

At first I was like wow, there’s so much more going on in this book than what’s portrayed in the movie. It’s starting to get a little hard to read though… based off of other reviews, I’m in for it.
