time management!! seems obvious, but balancing readings for all of your classes can be difficult (especially for upperclassmen). cut out a day of the week for each class, create a schedule, etc.

is car stripping like A Thing?? car meets are super popular in my hometown, but i could never imagine such a male dominated space actually being safe for women/sex workers/dancers

“if she was as trashy and worthless as everyone seemed to think, she might as well act that at, and, in between rounds of waitressing and hotel-room cleaning, she did”

i feel like hyper sexuality and reclaiming bodily autonomy via sex is a common post-sexual trauma experience for lots of victims

The attached information is from a study done by Columbia University. The generational trauma being passed down from woman to woman in the family coupled with the fact that stress can affect a developing baby’s sex is a really interesting connection between mom/daughter/grandma.

i really enjoyed Precious and would love to delve more into the meanings behind the metals, gems, and herbs that she speaks into existence. when she is speaking “poison”, poisonous herbs come out, i want to know more about the gems/metals meanings.

“I am not grateful to be included in an institution that is unequal…”
It’s disappointing when things deemed “radical” within feminism are often so because they acknowledge intersectionality. inclusion being a late wave shift in feminism is something that should always be on the mind

i had never read anything (aside from lolita) that focuses on pedophiles, especially from their own perspective. the sinking, twisting, feeling the snake brought had me on the edge of my seat.

when Binti said, “I knew exactly what I was going to do.” I for sure thought they were going to blow the ship up with their Edan. I have never been so glad to be wrong- I loved the much happier ending.

“To allow women of Color to step out of stereotypes is too guilt provoking, for its threatens the complacency of those women who view oppression only in terms of sex.”

I am sooo tired of space racism being dominated by white, male, writers. I am so excited to see what a marginalized perspective brings to the genre!

i wish i could remember the source but for previous research i have read that historically, men be specifically been politically performative (appearance online/irl, literal performative activism, etc.) in order to get women to sleep with them. remindedmeof the performative man trend/this quote

Loved Rafe’s quote at the beginning of this. Also, CASSIE! girl. the reason you’re overwhelmed is because you are fully and completely doing too much.

i had never examined the “perfect victim” trope before reading this book and as it progresses, I am realizing just how many of these tropes exist in True Crime/Mystery. It’s a very good example of the trope, and it’s been interesting seeing it develop

i feel like i have read work of her references (Faucault and Faludi, mostly) in other classes, but have never read McRobbie’s work before.

‘“luminosity’…subtle process of marketization, whereby the potential of young women comes to be attached to a new form of consumer citizenship.”

i am so excited to read this book more! i love the mystery/crime mess!

the ending had a certain amount of peace to it! i definitely expected there to be a more dramatic, bloody, “surrender” to mother Ala

has the power dynamic truly shifted or has Asughara finally shown her full potential? She has always used Ada as a puppet.

“Stripped of identity, the bastard race teaches about the power of the margins and importance of a mother like Malinche…WOC transformed her from evil mother of a masculinist fear into the originally literate mother who teaches survival.”
