"Beauty Laid Bare: Aesthetics in the Ordinary" should be required reading tbh!!

Started reading this earlier after picking it up on a whim at the beach, found out as I came to log it on here that there’s supposedly a fuck ton of pro-israeli sentiments going on in the middle of the book. So I’m torn idk whether I want to even bother finishing it or not. Had I known about it prior to purchasing I would not have picked it up that’s for sure

Reading for class

Reading for class; I do not like it.

reading for class; enjoying it so far!

“Without community there is no liberation, only the most vulnerable and temporary armistice between an individual and her oppression. But community must not mean a shedding of our differences, nor the pathetic pretense that those differences do not exist.” ‼️‼️‼️

“As they become known to and accepted by us, our feelings and the honest exploration of them become sanctuaries and spawning grounds for the most radical and daring of ideas.”

wailing and sobbing and crying and throwing up

picked up a copy at the library's new book festival last weekend and my god i'm really enjoying these stories so far i didn't realize Elliott was from the same area I am, so reading the second story and seeing all these place names and references that i am intimately familiar with was shocking lol

Restarted bc I put it down over a year ago. Audiobook listen attempt 2 begin now

not ashamed to say I definitely prefer the show and I’m literally only on page 30. Bro who the fuck is this this is not MY Louis

I’m so annoyed and mad at the housewife situation it makes me insane that there was that enormous step backwards there right after the war

Reading for class; really good though oaugh

this was one of my most anticipated books of the year and I am. Going to die. There is a whole thing in here that I did not expect and literally could never have guessed and it’s so fucking funny. It’s like making it hard to take the book seriously. I’m going to lose it

a bit strange, not sure if I’m a fan of this kind of book. Love that it’s lesbians though let’s go lesbians

is this going to be the book to get me out of this slump??? Perhaps!! I’m so intrigued

after starting this almost a year ago I’m FINALLY at the halfway mark lol. I’ve been reading it pretty consistently over the last two weeks and like every time I pick it up I am having a blast. Absolutely entranced with how Mary Gabriel tells these stories. Incredible resource and I’m loving savoring it
