Body Friend by katherine brabon

A really unique perspective on the fluidity of pain (primarily in relation to chronic illness) and navigating the shifting mindset to cope with the pain. Also a really interesting take on “friends for certain activities” - a friend you go to gigs with vs the friend you go for a morning jog with. How these friendships change us. A fantastic quick read!

lets go lets go lets go by cleo qian

if there’s a sad asian girl book ill read it and this one was stunning and crushed my heart with its relatability. short stories w protagonists managing their lack of self worth, feeling undesirable, being around white ppl, feeling weird as fuck in america, etc.

homesick for another world - otessa moshfegh

I’ve been in a reading slump and I feel like short stories always pull me out of it. Moshfegh’s collection here is NASTY! I love her evident distaste for basically everyone and everything lol. Big fan of her writing style and she makes me want to write too.

Dating apps are not the centre

In fact they’re working against you, especially women of colour. 84% of Tinder users are men, Bumble’s earnings have gone down hugely since its IPO (thereby further increasing their need to make a profit off subscriptions), Hinge is hiding hot people behind a paywall. People are sick of getting lovebombed and ghosted. But we don’t need them—there’s more to life than apps—and people are beginning to seek connections in person again.
