got tagged to do this thank u @merulah !

Last song listened to:

the pretender by foo fighters. we r doing it in choir and my harmony is literally just monotone on one A note for almost the whole song. this is actually fine bc its very easy but you do go a little insane after several runthroughts

Currently reading:

just started his mouth will taste of wormwood and other stories by poppy z brite, as lent to me by @moomee-troll! i'd read the main story (wormwood) in university years ago and i think i'm gonna need to read more in brite's style to work out how much i like it. like he's clearly doing an affectation for that story so interested in how it stands in contrast w the rest

also just finished the brief wondrous life of oscar wao by junot díaz - it was really arresting, some achingly beautiful writing, but not quite up to the reputation it's received imo

Currently watching:

making my way through succession slowly bc it's really fucking depressing dkjfdjks. but good. also slowly watching d20 mentopolis, and started beastars which is. hm. a lot.

Currently obsessed with:

i'm finally finishing pokemon scarlet (the main game lol) super late. it's good has anyone heard of it. umm otherwise i've been working on my phd research proposal mostly so. remembering how right judith butler is about everything.

“it would be a mistake to subscribe to a progressive notion of history in which various frameworks are understood to succeed and supplant one another. (...) none of these stories are the past; these stories are continuing to happen in simultaneous and overlapping ways as we tell them”.

^ litany against historical revisionism that suggests progress (specifically trans rights and gender liberation) is linear
