but when you read a romance, you mostly get the perspective of the people falling in love, so by the end it's positive
whereas when you meet those characters in the next book, maybe the POV character is like "that person's kind of a jerk," and that shift always makes me smile

I mean, I also like it when they're friends (or, as is frequently the case, siblings who more or less get along)

I love when the protagonists of different books in a romance series have strained or contentious relationships with each other

probably those commenters love THEIR families. some of them, anyway. they care about dogs, probably. but people they don’t know? not so much

those commenters are the people I want to force to read this book. or to hear from one of these families and know the unconscionable suffering they have endured

but I keep thinking about the comments section of my local paper every time there’s an article about our refugee community. people are enraged that they get (very limited) assistance with rent. “nobody ever helped ME with rent,” they write

life is hard everywhere. the volume of terrible news or history that you can expose yourself to is basically infinite. nobody has the capacity

I am still struggling with the question of how much we owe it to each other to learn about atrocities in the world

I haven’t even gotten to the part of the book that’s actually about the DRC! The first part is about Rwanda, and boy is there a lot I didn’t know

this book (Dancing in the Glory of Monsters by Jason Stearns) is really a feat of writing. it’s utterly gripping. gotta read it in small chunks, though

a good snapshot of the inside of my brain today is that I emptied HALF the dishwasher, left it open, wandered off, and started not one but three different other tasks

Honestly I thought people describing this process were joking until I looked it up.
This process seems like it appeals to the exact people who make politics unbearable and only them (but only if they're also able-bodied and extroverted and financially secure enough for this) twitter.com/PhilippeReines…

I was obsessed with it too! Really the only thing I remember is her turning into goo? But it has stuck with me, clearly, lol

I've written two things in the past year with alien organisms that can liquefy and reform themselves, Alex Mack style
beginning to suspect it's a fantasy: melting into goo is the only way I can imagine making my neck and jaw muscles less tight
