It makes me so bad seeing Rin used time and time again as a weapon, people seeing her like an object instead of a person. I know where this is going but I’M SO SAD.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Tonight I am just sad. Tomorrow I will be angry, I will fight, I will resist. Tonight I will rest.

Dear trans/nb friends,
I am so sorry. I am so sorry for how you are being (mis)treated, disrespected, and erased. I am sorry that the people in power don’t see you as equals. But we see you, and we will keep elevating your voices, and we will keep fighting.
Fuck em.

Starting the Dragon Republic with a strong drink and a soft blanket. Might ask my girlfriend to get the fireplace going to really set the mood.
I’m ready to get my feelings hurt.

The Poppy War left me just as devastated the second time around. I watched Rin make all the wrong choices for all the right reasons, and felt every emotion with her every step of the way. Such powerful storytelling by Kuang.

What I love about The Poppy War is that every character is both the best and the worst. R. F. Kuang writes such humanity into each one, you truly connect with them. AND SHE WAS ONLY 19 WHEN SHE STARTED IT. Truly an artist.

Hi everyone, this may be long but I need advice.
With TikTok being banned, I’m very concerned about how I’m going to keep up with the congressional hearings occurring, as well as dangerous legislation being proposed at the federal and state levels.
For example, the Idaho resolution…

It was fine, but it didn’t blow me away. I may pick up the next in the series down the line, but… eh.
It’s kinda urban fantasy- but LIGHT on the fantasy. Honestly might’ve read the same if there were no fantasy elements at all.

78% of the way through Jade City and I still can’t decide how I feel about it. I think I want more magic. The magic system itself is cool, it’s just not used enough.
