but also the book is quite racist and that’s just as important to note 👍 #criticalthinking

okay yep yep yep I’m getting it now … 90 years after publication and I’m kicking my feetsies

I’m obsessed with Strawberry

audiobook so idk what page I’m quoting from on but “your silence can never be misquoted” sounds nice until you put it up against “actions speak louder than words” … you do owe people responses during important and contentious conversations / situations <3 saying “naw let them, and I’ll let me” would just make you a shitty, inconsiderate person. sorry!!!!!!

okay so *love* that Ms. Collins is bringing up the concept of “the commons” belonging to the people. very Diggers, very German Peasants War. I’M OBSESSED!!!!! she’s just ugh

giving advice to people in business that in the face of rejection you should just say “let them,” like “whatever it’s their problem,” rather than seeking constructive feedback seems pretty harmful idk

(listening to audiobook, not exact page)

holy shit that high “I Spy” game where he thinks he sees P Diddy joke did not age well

“astrology is fake” said in a footnote in a work of magical historical fiction in which silver-working keeps the British Empire afloat is a bit hypocritical but I digress … not like it’s been taken seriously and used by the world’s elite and academics for thousands and thousands of years but okay 😀

God this book is like a warm blanket for me. ugh.

“My brain took a screenshot.”

oh the TV show did Catelyn Stark so dirtyyyyy

first reread since reading it through last year for Holy Week — staunchly believe that it should be required reading for anyone who calls themselves a Christian

actually going to bed, but for the first time in a long time my only thought was: one…. more……. chapterrrrr………….

this book has all the best parts of Six of Crows, Throne of Glass, and a touch of Game of Thrones all rolled into one and I’m *loving* it

ew icky gross sci-fi descriptions

reading for a book club and already freaked out. vibes are very much The Last of Us meets an adult version of The 100 meets Interstellar, but if Interstellar took place in Earth.
