“This has been a hard skill to learn, the forgiving of self, and it is not always easy to know when it is good and when it is indulgent. But there is not so much time in life that we should spend it being sorry.“

“I know only too well help brightly the cheap jewelry of pride shines, and I have seen it wreck men of every station — and even a few women, from whom I had expected more.“

Inocenta seems like a sociopath, how are they best friends?

“I would rather this than to be packed off to some foreign prince’s bed to wail in childbirth a half dozen times, and, if I survived that, to oversee cooks and stewards and to overlook infidelities, and poor manners, and to be loved less than a hunting dog.“

Cool plot twist but I’m not a robot in post humanity existence with other robots who had before now failed to create.

George RR Martin says this one has it all. What even is this book?

Oh hi Ahab, nice to see you and your futility to wreak vengeance.

“Yes, instead of focusing our time and energy on stopping the Trippers from destroying the Earth, automation was fighting itself. For a while, I felt a great frustration about this; no one would listen to my concerns. Then I decided to shift gears and focus on the problem right in front of me. It was all I can do.“

Will she decide not to write, and that’s her “death”?

Chinyere’s trying to take care of the family but there’s absolutely no need to be a giant bitch to Zelu who’s just trying to live her fucking life

Finally, something happens

“You all spend everything that is not familiar to you as either terrible or less than you. You only see things through your narrow lens and personal experiences. It is your weakness.”

Is she going to go to space?

Wind is like her Ijele.

“She gave more trust and respect to that which could not support her than that which could.“ Her family?

The “ableist” hate from fans also makes no sense to me, but I guess the internet has hated much more pointless things much louder.

I don’t understand her family

Is this book about how she goes against her family’s taboo and thriving but never being celebrated by them? Are they the rotten tree?

So there’s a cultural shame for disabled people but is her family embarrassed of her disability or her inability to thrive the way they expect her to or…both?

Wtf is up with her family? Overprotective?

Did they really not cut down the tree for her?

Her SIL asks her for a favor then huffs at her mode of transportation even though Zelu’s in a wheelchair…

“They expected the rest of us to hold their values, despite the fact that they clearly hated us.”

Still not sure what this book is about. A beautiful fish in a family of beautiful birds?

“Stories contain our existence; they are like gods. And the fact that we create them from living, experiencing, listening, thinking, feeling, giving – – they remind me of what’s great about being alive.”

“It never grew or died; it just was. But it never looked healthy at all. Always a struggle.” Is me, I’m the plant.

I want to be a robot that collects stories

Are you a rich man or a good man?

“I found that the need of powerful people to defend racist policies that benefited them led them produce, racist ideas, and when unsuspecting people consumed these racist ideas, they became ignorant and hateful.”

“Black people are five times more likely to be incarcerated than whites.”
