Welcome to Litsy!

Identity is becoming. Identity is intersectional.

reading theory takes a lot of mental energy for me so I was bored

If power were never anything but repressive, if it never did anything but to say no, do you really think one would be brought to obey it? What makes power hold good, what makes it accepted, is simply the fact that it doesn‘t only weigh on us as a force that says no; it also traverses and produces things, it induces pleasure, forms knowledge, produces discourses.

My reading list for the next 8 weeks. 😶 Reserving judgement.

I will be living vicariously through Litsy friend posts. 💙

Last assigned reading of the session. As important as economic behavior is, it bores me to tears. 😭

Hi all, I'm in need of some help!

For my MA this semester, I am discussing bierasure in YAL. I am trying to find YA books with openly bisexual characters and I'm drawing a blank. So far I have:
- Leah on the Offbeat
- Girl, Serpent, Thorn
- Heartstopper

Anyone have any other recs? xo

Just rescued this out of discard. First line in the acknowledgements just got to me had to keep. 'Chris (“of all the places I've been, libraries are the sexiest“).' This is my quote of the day so awesome.

I don't really believe in passing judgment on classics™, but overall I really enjoyed reading this. I've read excerpts before, but never the whole thing, and Weber neatly ties together the early modern protestant thinkers' ideas with the economic circumstances of the world at the time, and how they formed the attitudes to labor and wealth we see today. Protestants be working.

Favourite tree, good book, lovely group chat on phone, nice weather, coffee

My day off before the weekend activity! I am grateful it is such an incredibly beautiful day.
