To strangle someone is such a symbolic thing if you think about it. I suggest you not really think about it too hard. But if you're being strangled and you're disassociating while also probably almost dying you might think about it. About how sad it is to be decapitated by fists forming around you.

Oh fuck.
Required reading.
I want to say men will hate this book because they don't want to understand how other people feel or believe that what they do is wrong. But the truth is men don't give a fuck what other people feel or how what they do affects others. Every word out of a man's mouth is "Because we can."

...I'm going through a lot right now.
Fuck Salwell btw or whatever his stupid name is. Guilty AF 100%

I fucking love reading books that make me feel like I'm high. I'm like duuuuude whoooaaahhh over here thinking about how the human body is actually like a bunch of cobaebs inside, just like I dreamed it was when I was a child.

Depressing to be reminded that lack of touch causes all kinds of physical problems. I got xrays and drugs and things instead of hugs and food. Still that way today. Cannot find anyone to physically contact, everyone is rapists, shit sucks

Obsessed with understanding connective tissue. Condemned to solving all my problems myself. I used to have many powers. I probably still have them, but lost touch, literally, with myself and my self. Anyway, here's to hoping I can slough off the leaden mantle of doom and become a magic (old) girl again

This book is a real immersion in how these people lived. I'm looking things up constantly. Gas mantles and zinc bathtubs. Sen-sen licorice mints. Hansom cabs. Really enjoying this aspect of the book very much. A great book to entertain you if you're all alone.

It's growing on me. This is a great book to read when you are sick or otherwise estranged. I can see why the men read it in the trenches. Very descriptive. I wish real life was like this instead of shivering in trenches

This is bumming me out. I do not see anything beautiful about the lives of the poor. I want stories of millionaire thriats being slit in the night. Maybe this will go there? I can hope

Grimod.... Woah

I legitimately love this book. I want it never to end. I guess once it ends I can read it over again. Yes I know there are more volumes. I wish everyone had to read this book the same way they had to read other classics. Though, I don't actually know if people do have to read classics at all anymore. What is our children learning!???

So I started reading this pretty much randomly but it's inspiring me to reflect about my past relationships, sociology class, all kinds of stuff. I've got a new therapist I'll be working with soon thank God. I really want to be authentic and have meaningful interactions! God it's hard to be appropriate, to feel what we should, etc!

Was not expecting to learn how to Method Act

I underestimated this book. I'm learning a lot already!

Have I been craving seal meat because I want tuberculosis?????? Or i have it??!!!

Evangelism has entered the chat

I wonder if the person who told me to read this knows that it's the perfect self-help book for me? I will let him know when i see him

Gosh this is soooo Germanphilosopher

Finally MONEY has come onstage and we can get this show going

This book is giving me ADHD. I think it's going to get easier once he finishes defining his terms. I think more math and less sentences would have been beneficial here but I'm like a math guy so

My Infinite Jest

I'm done with the text of the novel. Highly melodramatic, but apparently a sweeping success. It doesn't really matter if I liked it as a book I just wanted to read it so that I could experience it since it is historically significant. I'm not familiar with the Bible so I felt a bit lost with all of that stuff. I guess it was a slam dunk at the time though! The 1800s were fucking crazy

Whew! Through part 1. This book is taking me a while, but it's good. Lots to think about.

Dude. I'm so mad.

This shit is wild

Omfg I'm so invested and I'm angry already

I am already convinced and feeling quite passionately that slavery should be abolished and slaveholders should all be strung up immediately

America sucks! Just FYI

Trying to wean myself off the doomscrolling by reading nonfiction by women about women. Damn, yo. Fuck America.
