‘I thought femininity was something that could be learned’: Antiboy by Valentijn Hoogenkamp

The unique challenge that arises when one attempts to write about what it feels like when the experience of gender fails to conform with cultural and societal expectations is rooted in the problem of a lack of consensus about terminology. Whether language and meaning are defined by individuals with lived experience or those looking in from the outside, there is no one way to talk about gender…

JONATHAN LIVINGSTONE SEAGULL book review

I've read that book many many times since I was little and every time that book amazes me and makes me feel so hopeful and beautiful. I think this book has many things to give each and every time you read it, just like the little prince. It is literally the first book that I decided to read after I was done with uni, and I finished it in one sitting. I highly recommend you read the book. I give it a solid 5/5 stars.

⚠️ Spoilers ahead ⚠️ (not so much but anyways)

This book is about a seagull who decides he wants more in life, other than fly just so he can eat; he was to truly learn how to fly. This whole book is about overcoming yourself and your boundaries, learning about yourself and what you can do, and embracing your differences. It is about never giving up and never fearing failure.

The way the seagull society is portrayed in the books, is the most beautiful allegory I've read in a while. It combines the society's 'norms' with what society deems as a god or a devil. The constant fight to show greatness to others while fearing for your life because you will either be idolised or be exiled.

This is not like my other reviews, it's a shorter one, mostly because I don't have many things to say about the book, because, as a book, it is so simple and yet so deep. This is why I love it so much.

“Wolff brings a compelling internal intensity to Kevin, and through Bradshaw’s modern lens we have more understanding and sympathy for the character’s emotional instability and mental health than in previous incarnations of the play.”

Book Review -Jonathan Livingstone Seagull.

A Flight Back in Time It’s been nearly 30 years since a dear friend handed me Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach (ISBN: 81-72253-578-9). At the time, it was a revelation—a manifesto for dreamers, rebels, and those who dared to break away from the flock. Now, as I revisit it, the pages carry not just Jonathan’s story but whispers of my younger self, wide-eyed and eager to soar. Back…

The revolution isn’t a rocket but a river that flows and pours forth: Passage to the Plaza by Sahar Khalifeh

The revolution isn’t a rocket but a river that flows and pours forth: Passage to the Plaza by Sahar Khalifeh, translated by Sawad Hussain

Each summer night in Nablus was just like the next: breezes pregnant with the scent of jasmine, dew and whiffs from the sewers. The municipality went to great pains: every morning the marketplace smelt like a freshly cut bouquet of the most fragrant flowers; however, by the time the afternoon rolled round—when the hustle and bustle had died down and the shops had closed and the rugs and carts had…

Finished reading "The Jungle Book" to my daughter.

I love reading archaic English. All those 'thou's and 'thee's are just so delightful to me.

Next book is "Jonathan Livingston Seagull".

I really like this book. I've read it a few times before.

It always feels so portentous, like it's supposed to be a big new-age Jesus allegory or some such.

But I've never been able to figure out any deeper readings with this text, so I always just enjoy the surface-level fable of like, "what if Goku from Dragonball Z was a seagull wouldn't that be pretty neat??" and leave things at that. Still a fun book though, at whichever depths you can plumb.

Haikyuu Chapter 358: Sea Gulls

REFLECTION:

Everyone regroups for the next set and then...holy shit, the next set starts within the chapter. I honestly cannot remember the last time that happened. The other teams end the chapter commenting on how it's anyone's match...
