The only book that’s left me desiring Turkish delight… that sweet sweet treat of knowledge,,, I forgot what a little fuck Edward was, and how weird the aging up of them all were.

My oh my,,, this required a lot of chewing. A lot of digestion.. im clearly not well read enough to truly suck up all of the goodness but even in my blind state: Butler spitting the facts. Particularly fascinated by the concept of incest as a means of transferring sex to gender..,.,., needs a re read but only after a little more education . Knocked a star off, because my god is their style dense. it's actually incredible, but I am not educated enough to untwirl that spaghetti to its totality. 

Maybe my reading comprehension sucks, but I definitely had to re read the first 30% of the book to understand what the hell was happening. BUT. Overall it's not a bad lesbian sci-fi model at conception. I think, the most frustrating part of this book is that even though its two separate authors writing two separate POVs, the tones for them are almost identical. Who can watch a person fall in love with themselves??? Narcissus' metamorphosis was notoriously boring. the prose was just okay

I love a book that makes me look at the sky. Doughty's videos on online are certainly more contemporary and regrettably better- but yeah. love a good corpse reminder. 

O’Farrell? More like O’Feral… the way she writes all her protagonists as feral young women. 

more racist than I remembered!

RIP Nabakov you would've loved Lana - god I haven't read this in so long and I forgot how much it made me ache. the silence 

Yep,,, yep yep yep. Oh loving men is such a curse. Oh being a mother is one too. OH ROMAN POLANSKI 

I really find the feminine mystique situates itself in a time where the most annoying people I know seem to venerate the idea of becoming a housewife. Drugs are back baby  

To be touched is to be acknowledged. This is so girlfailure 🫵
