Middle class anxiety so good, I had to ride it!

did not realize how terrified I was of continuing this journey until I started reading. Oh well, let’s get this bread 🙏🏿

this is a potential motherrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I can’t even hate Lila for her decisions cuz at that age she should’ve been at the club. Anyways.

The WORST possible thing that could happen just happened I’m gonna be SICKKKKKK 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Lena is lowkey a severe pick-me but in the most sublime, excellent way possible

yeah, Sexton is an instant favourite. The rancid creature in her acknowledges the rancid creature in me.

I’m glad this book exists but………….there’s something cold, dead, and perverse about poetry like this. it *feels* lacking in rigour. somehow, the anger and horror feels masturbatory, the cadence comes across as ‘cute’, and the form is utterly flaccid. I-am-woman-hear-me-roar——I-am-queer-so-beware ass poetry.

anyways, all art is valid!

so far greatly reminiscent of Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi’s novel, “Kintu.” More writers from the continent need to lean into the arcane dynamics of everyday African life, considering the arcane as integral to the ultimately unknowable and ever mysterious and domineering landscape. witches, devils, generational curses, strange animals, terrible unexplainable things, blatant human wickedness. delicious!

Jesus lowkey toxic as fuck……….

oh she better watch those n-words…

story number four is something special. Highsmith stares down the face of evil, then crawls into its mouth and slides down its throat, settling in its stomach, where she begins to eat away like a parasite.

her talent for weaving suspense and documenting brutality is electrifying

jesusfuckingchristyouhavegottobekiddingmeNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooOooooooooo !

petition to rename this book My Bad Bitch Friend

prose is thick af

“Straight is the line of duty, curved is the line of beauty, Follow the straight line, thou shall see. The curved line ever follow thee.”

this narrative style was definitely a choice.

that introduction was long as hell damn.
