The color purple

It’s been three days since I’ve finished that book and it’s on my mind all the time. when I brush my teeth I think about Nettie and her time in africa , I make myself a drink and I think about Sofia and her brave struggles , it really stuck with me . It’s bleak but it’s because a woman’s life can be bleak , it’s also happy and theological and compassionate. Anyways check the trigger warnings but if you want to dive into a beautiful story and a sapphic one at that check it out ! 😜♥️

sirens & muses

by antonia angress, it’s a gorgeous contemporary novel about academia, the messiness of artists trying to survive, and thinks about loneliness openly in a way i haven’t seen before in a novel like this. also, a queer romance plotline :)

creating artifacts of yourself

Videos. Journals. Planners. Calendars. Playlists. Spreadsheets. Letters to open in the future. Keeping track of the present (in a way that is low stakes and fun) keeps me from dwelling on the past or feeling upset about changing. It will be there for me if and when I want to return to it! And I get to dip into the things I have thought and felt and loved in the past and maybe they become part of my life again or they don't! I also love to experiment with form in the ways that I record myself. Journals are a classic, but doing something like journaling in a planner with limited space or on a calendar means you have to pick just one memory from each day. Or making playlists / watchlists / reading lists of what's important to you at a time. Embarking upon fun little challenges of discovery (places, songs, books, movies, foods) and keeping track of what you learn in an organized (or disorganized) way! Video journals or little vlogs just for yourself! Scrapbooking! Fun in the moment to create and fun in the future to rediscover.

it’s a shit game so if you’re gonna play it at least go for a little “nice to come home” when you land on one of your own properties
