Currently reading “A History of My Brief Body” by Billy-Ray Belcourt.
It is an odd feeling to read a novel that makes you both invigorated to express creativity in physical form again and also absolutely terrified by the thought of it.
Here’s one part (of many) I’ve really enjoyed so far

![A picture of page 91 from the book “A History of My Brief Body” by Billy-Ray Belcourt. Part of the text shown is highlighted. The text reads “An ex-boyfriend and I share the same date of birth, October 21. I took this coincidence to be a sign of our compatibility as lovers, which to some might constitute a lapse in judgment on my part. Wasn't I an empiricist who sneers at a notion as immaterial as happenstance? But the theorists who excite me most are, in a sense, speculative fiction writers. [highlight starts] What's missing or fleeting in the world is evidence of other ways of being, of something dawning, so the onus isn't to observe a phenomenon as it happens but to chase after a hunch or a half-formed hypothesis that might accumulate into an artifact of a future history. Their keywords include possibility, utopia, futurity, hope, and optimism.

I love hearing people who have so much knowledge on one hyperspecific thing. Especially when I have to start the conversation off with “I’d love to hear about this. Also, please define what the first thing you said even is.” The convo always makes me feel a little dumb but also happy
Don't worry, I'll have a new hyperspecific interest in a week or two.
