“So please do not pity Cora Zheng while condemning Trayvon Martin… do not let your empathy stop at the borders of your own community.”

Kylie Lee Baker ate and left zero crumbs.

“Because a bat eater is the kind of person that white ment want to hurt, the kind of person who tangles their fear and hate together and elicits their rage, the kind of person who scared them. And Cora knows all too well that you can’t fear someone who has no power over you.”

Covid turned horror turned mystery? I’ve got whiplash but it somehow works?

A heavy read so far, definitely better in small doses.

“It’s strange how hate and love can so quietly exist at the same time.”

“When you’re drowning and someone grabs your hand, you don’t ask them where they’re taking you.”

“… families who just want to f*cking live but are trapped in the place city for the greater good.”
