"It was the only time we ever heard her speak, and we were surprised by the maturity of her voice. More than anything she sounded old and tired."

"Every vassal capitalist knows that with the removal of a link from their cloud vassal’s site they could lose access to the bulk of their customers. And with the removal of a link or two from Google’s search engine or from a couple of e-commerce and social media sites, they could disappear from the online world altogether. A sanitised tech-terror is the bedrock of
technofeudalism."

all dark and foggy and raining heavily outside (╥﹏╥) i hate thisss

'[W]hen a word is properly defined,’ Simone Weil wrote in 1937, it
helps ‘us to grasp some concrete reality or concrete objective, or
method of activity. To clarify thought, to discredit the intrinsically
meaningless words, and to define the use of others by precise
analysis – to do this, strange though it may appear, might be a way of saving human lives.'

"During 2020, Amazon’s best year since its
inception, when its pandemic-fuelled sales went through the roof,
Bezos’s company booked sales worth €44 billion at its global
headquarters in Ireland but paid exactly zero corporate tax because
it posted not a cent of profits."

there's no choice but to m****r these guys I'm serious

halfway ┌(・。・)┘♪

good morninggg (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ
i finally organized my irl reading queue and i've got around 200 books to read. i won't add any books to it or to my tbr here until i go through them all! i'm staying faithful to this commitment!!!! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

(doubt I'll read all of them but I have to get to them first to dnf them lol)

formatting my kindle today, I've been postponing this for so long but now it's time.........hopefully it will be just a tiny bit faster because my god

ok I'm feeling weird without a tbr list on goodreads ૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა

soooo I'm gonna only add a few books which are on my actual real life queue to be actually real life read. so it doesn't look weird and empty on my profile. and so you'll know what's coming (๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)

It is one thing for our dreams to go unfulfilled. It is quite another to
sense that our unfulfilled dreams, our frustrated desires, have been
manufactured by others. The more our mass-produced cravings are
satisfied, the less satiated we feel. The greater the capacity of the
technostructure to stir the passions, the greater the void within when
they were served.

watched Frankenstein (2025) yesterday and made some new enemies

the thing about winter is that it's not just the period with the worst weather but it's also so fucking boring. oh cool another cloudy gloomy grey ass day that allows for no fun other than being under a blanket. so exciting. god let it end quickly

see? I'm reading

despite saying yday that I was gonna devour this book I ended up playing some cute city building sim game I found and read a total of ZERO pages thus far............but I've nothing to do today so I'll get down to it

I've started this book once before but I was def not on my non-fiction era by then. now I think it's safe to say I'll be eating this up since I already really admire Yanis and I've been very curious to read his work in book form after watching so many lectures and debates with him lol

ok ok OKAY ok I am putting my head down and I won't lift it up until I am done with this book. I cannot be a person who needs 3 days to read a >100pg book ffs

I really have been reading so slow these past 2 months (╥﹏╥) BUT this however has a positive side which is the fact that I haven't been reading much because I've been writing a tonnnnnnn like 40-pages-in-a-day type of writing a ton. sorry to goodreads anyway I miss being more active here and pushing out more reviews ૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა

>me just the other day: i don't like children stuff and i don't feel like i need to be in touch with children stuff since there are no children in my life
>literally the next day: find out i'm gonna be an aunt in april

it's such a privilege for me that Clarice and I speak the same language because I think I'd simply have to learn portuguese to read her, exclusively. and tbh sometimes it doesn't even seem like we do speak the same language because she uses it with such a dexterity that I obviously lack

seeing the news of Hayden Panettiere's death literally made me sick to my stomach... she was such a huge part of my life growing up. I had her autobiography lined up to read later in the year but now I just feel it'll be impossible. I feel so sorry for her, she was so great (⁠｡⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠)

hoping to finish this today

this is such a sweet book so far, I'm really enjoying it which is surprising considering this type of tale is one that I'm kinda saturated by

ok sooooooo just did something naughty that i've been wanting to do for a while aaaaaand deleted my entire tbr list (๑>؂•̀๑)

it was almost 300 titles and it was weighing on me because there was so many books there that just had me thinking WHO ARE YOU like who the hell invited you to this party what was i thinking you don't even go here

ok so I got interested in this book because of the cover and didn't even realize it's Brazilian but not only that, the author is also from a city that I hold dearest in my heart so now I am very excited to read this????

ok I ended up falling asleep after the movie (great movie!!!) but now it's a new day (well only technically since it's 5 am and the sun won't come up for another 2 hours at least) and I couldn't stop thinking about finishing this book so I had to leave my bed at 4 am to do it (and then spent an hour drinking tea and writing on my journal)

pause to watch a movie, then finish it before bedtime c:
