Reader living with depression, suburban semi-intellectual, cat lover, she/her. Canadian.
The past ten years have been really hard on everyone but Iâm also the happiest Iâve ever been. Humans are idiosyncratic creatures.

I loved this surrealist literary trip so much that I ordered Ghosts and How I Became a Nun. Slightly bereft after finishing it. Felt like reading Clarice Lispector for the first time: revelatory.

Persepolis was read all over the worldâa true international phenomenon. Assigned in every class subject under the sun. During the Obama years, West Point cadets were assigned the book. There's never been anything like it; never anyone like her. What an awful world that couldn't hold her longer.

There needs to be more community support for mental health. I self-isolated and accidentally became a hermit and Iâm slowly coming out of it but more resources in the community wouldâve been amazing in trying to turn things around.

let's not overthink the success of Backrooms and Obsession it's pretty clear that the people simply yearn for movies that are just a little bit evil.

I haven't seen Backrooms yet but it's so funny how Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in that one and also narrates the Piranesi audiobook. Becoming the go-to guy for being trapped in weird-ass spaces

Iâm utterly exhausted by having to dance around this diplomatically. I used to think hate was the worst thing you could do, but I am coming to think apathy is worse. Apathy allows hate to flourish, and actively prevents us from feeling bad about it.
