couldn’t update the other day because goodreads was down but i’m gonna take this really slow. i’m loving the giant journey in this book and it feels like one i wanna savor.

holy fuck dude i am absolutely in LOVE with this i sound like a broken record

jeeeeesus the way they captured queer infighting and internalized transphobia so perfectly in just one page is astounding.

this is SO fucking good dude i cannot fucking wait for the next two books in the trilogy

this is the second horror story i’ve consumed this year that surrounds the concept of social media content moderators (the first was the Faces of Death remake which was mid for me) and this is the vastly better rendition of it. Jane Schoenbrun has a much stronger understanding of the internet than tons of people writing and directing stories about the internet.

“They seemed so sure of themself then, and I always admired their confidence. But I never really believed it myself. Because they don’t give people like us the Sunday-night time slot on HBO.
They put us in hospitals. They send us to hell.”

INCREDIBLE. soooo fucking stoked to be reading this, Jane Schoenbrun is one of my all-time fave filmmakers.
