idealist at heart

in 'what white people can do next', emma dabiri unveils race as a social construct—something invented rather than something that has always existed.

i loved her voice throughout the narrative. it isn't just strong or matter-of-fact. it's fierce, it's frustrated, it's hopeful, it's kind. it is all of these things, and it is entirely one of a kind.

When finishing a glorious series, it' can be stressful finding your next read.

❌ You might suffer from F.I.C.T.I.O.N: Fretting Intensely over Choices, Trying to Identify Outstanding Narratives

❌Also you might have bouts of F.A.B.L.E: Fear of Acquiring Books that Lack Excitement

❌ All of this can result in a terrible condition called I.F.S.: Infinite Fiction Searching

⛔Say no to BOOK P.A.N.I.C.: Book Procurement Anxiety and Nervousness In Choosing

Yeah... I haven't done the BDSM thing with any degree of seriousness but I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to a) unilaterally decide that someone is your sub, b) lecture them about how they need tp pull their socks up and sort their life out, and c) threaten to kill them if they don't. #amreading

Reading Recluse

📘 "Strange Pictures" by Uketsu, translated from Japanese into English by Jim Rion

Me in the daytime: This is not scary at all.

Me at night under the blankets with my ereader: ...what if I tap next page and I get jumpscared by a sudden drawing? ._.

This was a fun, quick snack read. In all honesty, I think the ending was a little disappointing and the solutions for the mysteries were a little ridiculous and I'm not even going to start about all of the pseudoscience. It's not the point of this novel.

The book did entertain me for two days while I sped through the pages at the speed of a pet hearing the distant rustling of a treat bag. They're short stories full of different text sources, images and clues, leading to a chapter at the end that wraps everything up neatly.

Reading this feels like munching on good popcorn. I'm looking forward to the next Uketsu translation that's coming out later this year!

Cover of 'strange pictures'. It's neon green with a collection of drawings. One is of a woman without a face, standing upright, visible from the side, her head turned towards the viewer and her hair floating in the wind. Another is a step by step for the drawing of an apartment building with a dark spot on the top floor. Another is children's drawing of a tree with spikey branches and a bird in a hole in the tree. Another is a children's drawing of an apartment building with a dark spot, a child and woman standing next to it. At the top is the title in black letters. At the bottom is the author name. Next to it, in the top right lower corner there is a picture of the author: they are anonymous, in a black suit with a white mask.
