brightbluekicks -> septemberpdf! on account of it being the best month ever
reading the book lost children archive by valeria luiselli for my comparative lit class oh my god i hate this book so much. im only 51 pages in (and something like 250 pages behind on the reading) but it is so fucking bad. this book sucks. it is so heavy-handed when it comes to any rhetorical insights, the protagonist is actually insufferable, the writing is just straight up bad and unrealistic (she writes about things that a 5 year old girl says that no child would ever say), and there’s a weird fixation in this ick factor- gratuitous mentions of pee, farts, and burping that make the book feel more like it was written by a 10 year old boy than an adult woman. i hate it so much 😭

Scientific fraud is the most baffling thing ever to me like do they think they're just going to make a huge breakthrough and no one will notice that it's fake by trying to replicate their results
Yeah actually I just discovered how to turn plastic into gold. Oh you want to know how I did it

i love you visible brushstrokes. i love you glue warped scrapbook pages. i love you awkward poems. i love you junk journal with faded receipts. i love you poorly composed journal layout. I love you unintentionally blurry photographs. i love you asymmetrical beading. i love you curling freeform crochet. i love you fingerprints on pottery. i love you reused materials. i love you improvised instruments. i love you mistakes. i love you bravery to make it anyway. i love you creativity that hasn't been wiped clean of every drop of humanity and sanitized and commodified.
theres something so beautiful about human error in art. it gives it life

every time i am looking at this guy's instagram and gazing at his face i remind myself that he does not dance. ever. no matter what no dancing. i can't be with a person like that even if he does have adhd and a nice face.
bad day to be a girl who’s career plans involved working for an environmental agency of the federal government

gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem
girls are contributing, too. the coquette aesthetic, the “i don’t want to girlboss i want a man to pay my bills”, girlmath girljob girlmoney. it’s a joke, it’s clothes, it’s whatever, i get it but it is driving a mentality of traditional gender roles and you know you’re joking but your boyfriend doesn’t. your kid brother doesn’t. you have to stop this shit it is a contributing factor
