Watching what's happening in Gaza and reading the new hunger games book at the same time is gutting.
When I read these as a kid, none of it was real to me. Now, kids being murdered by a brutal regime is all too real.
Reading is absolutely political.

Does anyone have any book recs for books with older trans characters?
I’m reading Detransition Baby atm for college and will need to write a final essay but need to use two books
Just trying to get some ideas on other books I could look in to!

I’ll be in London next week from 9am and I can’t check into my hotel until 3pm
Any suggestions for places to go preferably free or at least not too expensive! (other than National history museum as that will happen during the trip!)

Finished reading Mockingjay
I sobbed as I normally do by the end of the book
But now it means preparing to write these damn essays
Can I not just stay in bliss of knowing I’ve reread them?

A really common abuser tactic is to push and harass a person over and over again until they lash out in response, and then be like, "Oh my God that was so awful of you! I can't believe you did that!" And I wish more people would realize that.

The thought that I actually have to start researching and writing my thesis after I finish Mockingjay is daunting
Why can’t I just snap my fingers and have the essays done? It would cause so much less stress 😅😅
