📓one of my forever favs have read nothing like it / punky techno feminist dystopian
“kitchen-sink realism, told from the perspective of the one stuck doing the dishes.”
explores relationships / gender / desire / detachment / sucker punch pop song / wildly clever n devastatingly prophetic
Alien Daughters Walk Into The Sun - Jackie Wang “An almanac of extreme girlhood” abolition/underground/biking across countries/accidentally falling into success Not so much a collection of short stories but diary entries, tumblr posts, zine archives, “essays“, poems Contents titles are: The Hard-Femme years / The Punk House Years/The Desert Years/The Getting-My-Shit-Together-Years/
I also remember enjoying Jesus’ Son by Denis Johnson!

🩸I actually just want to scream and cry and be mad but the silver lining is that i love everyone in my life so much and i wish they really understood how much i mean that and i’m crying now looking at the bloody stained mess of a mid-day period.

😌It sounds like you’re nervous because you feel like you’re not good enough or don’t know enough. Remember that they brought you on knowing your lack of experience and new-ness to the industry. They know you don’t know! So don’t be afraid to say you don’t know! Go in ready to ask questions and honestly say I don’t know what that is or could you explain that. I’m sure people would love to explain a bit more about what they do and maybe begin to see what they do with fresh eyes. They must’ve seen in you a desire to learn and passion for the industry, that got you through the door, and the knowledge will follow. You may not know, but you will learn.
