so sad 💔💔

2/5. this was so poorly executed

About 60%!! So rlly not that much left, maybe like 3 hours if I rlly sit down and focus

I rlly do love the worldbuilding which is why im hesitant to dnf it!! And like you i like the overall story and message and I want to finish it so I can participate in any conversations surrounding that

cr (again): les mis!

took a 7 month break but im back 😭😭😭

this may be my sign to dnf i havent touched it in like two weeks 😭

yeah i wish it was a smoother read

I think so?? some scenes feel a little awkward to me and im still getting confused w the world building but its funn

“I was possessed by you. In life you owned nothing, in death you are pledged every morsel in my mouth, every electric ripple in my skin, all the intensities of survival and destructive frivolity I experience.
Every breath in my lungs is yours.”

Wait omg im also reading metal from heaven!!! Funn cant wait to see ur thoughts on storygraph when i eventually finish it lol

we need to reframe the way we talk about generative ai, if i see another person go "this is so beautiful i thought it was ai!" i'm going to have a breakdown

Havent read all week, me thinks imma read something today

Ive been good i think!! just tired and stressed from work and life but the future is looking bright and beautiful so i will persevere!!

trying to be more active here but i am unfortunately addicted to twt and my curated fyp

i love seeing the evolution of your journal spreads over time

I didn't want to link this but I am working on writing more reviews so I can work on processing my thoughts better. I think I will start jotting down my thoughts/things I would want to bring up in reviews somewhere in the future. I didn't really do that this time around which i think held me back

ok done! here is my review :)

“It feels so American to discount dreams because they’re not built of objects, of things you can hold and catalogue and then put in a safe. Dreams give us voices, visions, ideas, mortal terrors, and departed beloveds. Nothing counts more to an individual, or less to an empire.”

“We march toward Hereafter, not tomorrow, we march past tomorrow, we know tomorrow will be hard.”

“When few rule the many, they must use force to take what they want, and demonstrate force not just to keep it, but to snuff the fires of contradiction from the collective. People above must do this. This is a quality of being above. Someone must be below, and to be below is to be bereft and suffer”

Murderbot ep 3: i am still having fun 😁😁

Only 15% in right now but am also enjoying it a lot the writing is so good and detailed

also cr: metal from heaven! :)) #booksky

went to the park to read but it was so freaking hot so i went home lol

I picked it up from my library yesterday and so far i rlly like it! Cyris is such a fun and interesting character i like how abrasive he can be

cr: martyr!

didnt think I’d enjoy it but i liked the first two episodes!! Seems to be sticking w all systems red pretty faithfully which I’m happy about! idk how i feel about Alexander Skarsgård or his voiceover but it is something i can move past for now

Oh this is so beautiful to me

Gonna make tea then watch murderbot!
