This book. I've never read any of Roxanne Gay's books before ( I know, I know #badfeminist). But I've always loved her articles and listening to her give interviews. So far this book is only deepening my appreciation for her. @monalyisha was right in warning me what a tough read it is, but so far it's my favorite thing I've read this year.

Dammit she made me want to reread Gone Girl #badfeminist #roxanegay
We must stop pointing to the exceptions — these bright shining stars who transcend circumstance. We must look at how we can best support the least among us, not spend all our time blindly revering and trying to mimic the greatest without demanding systematic change.

pickI‘m continuing to enjoy this series about an imaginary royal family hailing from the invented kingdom of Montmaray. This one takes place on the brink of WWII, as Sophie chronicles her siblings‘ (& her own) attempts to take their island back from the Germans. I have to say, despite her insistence that she‘s not getting married & that she‘s not interested in Rupert... I wish there were more romance & that she WERE marrying him! #badfeminist
It‘s hard not to feel humorless, as a woman and as a feminist, to recognize misogyny in so many forms, some great and some small, and know you‘re not imagining things. It‘s hard to be told to *lighten up* because if you lighten up more, you‘re going to float the fuck away. The problem is not that one of these things is happening; it‘s that they are all happening, concurrently and constantly.

Reading remains one of the purest things I do.

[After putting this book by the incredible Roxane Gay on hold for something like three years, I remembered I had it on my kindle — perfect for one handed reading while I‘m feeding the baby! #badfeminist]
