Gah I really want to finish this but I'm out of reading time. Maybe after work. 😭

That chapter was incredibly interesting! And not just because a majority of it was set in FoCo lol

Hey! Holy cow! That's my hometown! What a surprise! Not a good one, given the context so far, but hey I always enjoy seeing my town get represented in a book

I've never seen Rambo 🤗 so that chapter slogged lol

Crazy how capitalism continues to ruin everything

Holy cow. A Muppets Mention.

Also this football section is kind of losing the plot. Or I just really don't care to read about sports this much and can't make the connection to the loss of masculinity.

Why is this so interesting?? It's supposed to be incredibly dense, but I'm finding myself enraptured by the narratives here.

It always comes down to capitalism lol. Men define their masculinity based on their ability to provide and then capitalism takes away their ability to provide with no further support. Golly.

Also heck of a read for all of the layoffs going on 😅

Another early start to my non-fiction November but it's a thicc boi and I really want to read this subject
