“Atrocity photographs were scarce in the winter of 1936–37: the depiction of war’s horrors in the photographs Woolf evokes in Three Guineas seemed almost like clandestine knowledge. Our situation is altogether different. The ultra-familiar, ultra-celebrated image—of an agony, of ruin—is an unavoidable feature of our camera-mediated knowledge of war.” i'm afraid the the next stage is happening now with **** and *****

so far the ~vibes~ are immaculate

“I’m so afraid of death. I’m so afraid that no one will believe me until after I have taken the seat that I fear has been saved for me in the darkness.”

Lust like I had known when it was fresh to me and it wasn’t tired and worn-out and bettered only by violence.”

“My life, I mean. Just hours before the dancing, I was in my room buried deep in a very, very different world. I hope I never have to choose between the two. Each one makes me happy for different reasons.” demian core

The relationship of the men to the woman in the photograph is not fantasy; it is symbol, meaningful because it is rooted in reality. / She is a fantasy, as opposed to a symbol: the power attributed to her nowhere resonates in the real world.

this book is breaking my heart in unprecedented levels, it's crazy to think jennifer wrote this... it does feel like laura herself, it feels like she's real

i think the author probably believes (like most people in the world) that heterosexuality is natural, her sexuality would be more nuance otherwise, because she rejects everything the other women say but that lol

surprised we didn't get a film adaptation for this one

wow.

sunset caroline polachek the devil is human aurora HEATHENS AURORA let me make this spotify playlist

i'm too woke for this shit 😂

her father is disgusting, poor girl

i hate ulisses so i tell myself that this is just her internal dialogues; the proof being clarice's dog, that's her wish to have an external self trying to move her forward. i'm very intelligent.

nahadoth = louis
itempas = lestat
enefa = claudia

she's learning the shivers skill from disco elysium

imo ulisses isn't a real person 🙊

mieko ilysm

scared of what will happen to me when i finish this one because i always need to have one mieko book going on in my life, that's my support, that's how i know i'm not alone in the world etc. 💔

this book is so raw, i've already cried. it's painful to watch laura needing to negotiate with her trauma.
