there must be no one on the planet who benefits more from the current geopolitical landscape between canada and the united states than carley fortune.

imagine releasing a book that bursts at the seams with the most detailed sentimentalization of spending a summer at a lake in ontario at the EXACT moment that a trade war makes every single canadian 4000x more patriotic... congratulations miss fortune!!

guys i'm LOVINGGGGG this book

"... Of the millions, I, too, was potentially everything at birth. I, too, was stunted, narrowed, warped, by my environment, my outcropping of heredity. I, too, will find a set of beliefs, of standards to live by, yet the very satisfaction of finding them will be marred by the fact that I have reached the ultimate in shallow, two-dimensional living—a set of values."

Emetophobia girlies we ride at dawn 🤝

As I keep chipping away at LOTR (which is a perfectly fine read so far) I can't help but think about what an... institution the act of reading has become. Every time I turn the page, I'm thinking about Goodreads Reading Challenges and page counts and public reviews, about my own failures as a reader (what does that even mean?) and about being a "real" reader and if I even want to be a reader at all. It's so strange

Remembering a day some point in the distant past when I used to, how do you say, read books?

I'm sorry, I can't, don't hate me (DNFing lol)

In the wise words of Tupac Shakur:

All you other motherfuckers get out my business

"Medieval anatomists called women's external genitals the "pudendum," a word derived from the Latin pudere, meaning "to make ashamed." Our genitalia were thus named "from the shamefacedness that is in women to have them seen."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had an infuriating conversation with a girl my age yesterday who said feminists shouldn’t be so angry because “we already have equal rights.” What more could we want? she asked. And the world kept turning.

So now I’m reading this! ❤️

I'm heading in y'all..... wish me luck <3

Sensing that I might be a Holden Caulfield sympathizer…..

“I’m beginning to suspect that I swallowed a rollercoaster and it is lodged between my heart and my stuff.

Am I too big or too small or too much or too little?”

Fuck me this is sad

Feels right to finish the year off with a re-read :-)

Reading from my Penguin Classics Deluxe edition with a MARVELOUS introduction by Min Jin Lee (I want to read Pachinko so bad!!!!!!!)

🥹 the Attachments story has my heart

"Cynicism has never won a war, or cured a disease, or started a business, or fed young minds. I believe in optimism. I believe in hope." - Barack Obama

A tad scatterbrained.

Thus far the book is proving to be much more interesting than the movie.
