Take notes! On the books you read or on the theory papers you read. You might not think you need to but you will end up using them so much more than you think, especially for the bigger assignments like the theory essay.

I found her transformation to horse to be very interesting to read and reading about her emotions and the rage that she felt.

Esme's little comments about things Donna should do around the house "when she has an hour" as if Donna isn't already struggling is infuriating.

The first story was definitely interesting to read and try to understand. I really liked the second story, I love when she went off on Jude at the end, like yessss!

"A killjoy manifesto is a willful subject; she wills wrongly by what she is or is not willing to do. No wonder a willful subject had principles; she can be principled. She can share them if you can bear them." (257)

The first story made me uneasy and uncomfortable. The comparison between birds and the girls that the narrator was talking to was interesting.

I am not a big sci-fi reader ever, but I was really invested in the story and the protagonist. The pacing of this story was also done really well I think, while still giving us really important worldbuilding.

As I was reading this book it felt like the beginning of a crime/thriller tv show or movie which I was weirdly enjoying. I could find myself enjoying the book more and really picturing the characters.

To me the ending was a bit confusing, I understand Ada coming to take control of her life and accepting herself. However, the abrupt sort of 'ending' to Asughara was unexpected.

Asughara is becoming much more complex which is very interesting to see. We have seen her as this mad or angry 'hunter' but now we see her connecting with more human emotions like sadness. We also see how this starts to affect Ada.

"A cyborg body is not innocent; it was not born in a garden; it does not seek unitary identity and so generate antagonistic dualisms without end (or until the world ends); it takes irony for granted." (Haraway 353)

I think that the introduction to the new characters in this section really lets us grasp what is going on in Ada's mind more openly. We see this in the way that she communicates with Asughara and even Saint Vincent.

This section was interesting to me, we get to see Ada trying to fit into this mold that she was expected to fit into, while also trying to find her identity within this new group of people.

"...that culture so readily punishes or marginalized those who fail to perform the illusion of gender essentialism should be sign enough that on some level there is social knowledge that the truth or falsity of gender is only socially compelled and in no sense ontologically necessitated."

The narration style in Freshwater is very unique. I don't think I've read anything like this before. I wonder what purpose it'll serve as the story continues.

"... To be committed to meeting children's demand for preservation does not require enthusiasm or even love; it simply means to see vulnerability and respond to it with care rather than abuse, indifference, or flight." This is so Lib coded.

"I view our bodies as a site of struggle, where we must work to keep our daily practices in the service of resistance to gender domination, not in the service of docility and gender normalization." (466) This is still something VERY much happening today.

I think there's something very interesting about using mermaids to represent women in the poems and each poem depicting how much they go through and the trauma that they endure, when we think about mermaids in typically a magical way.

"If the breakdown occurs in the home, it is then alleged to be due to the pressure of "outside interests" conflicting with the "natural" domestic ones; if it happens to a young woman, with no domestic cares yet, it is credited to "overstudy"...." God forbid a girl wants to have hobbies.

The female main characters husband downplaying her very serious mental health and refusing to acknowledge based on the fact that he's a physician (who should know mental health is real) is really telling of how women's health was valued.
