i just read the metamorphosis and it was fucking devastating. there are so many readings you could take, ive heard people say kafka intended it to be about depression which is something that he struggled with and i heavily fw the trans reading, but personally i primarily read it as being about disability. gregor wakes up one day physically unable to work and his family reacts with not only shock but disgust and horror. it's not even that THEY now have to work where they didn't before; we see at the end of the story that working doesn't really bother them. it's about his presence in their house. now that he's disabled and can't work, they dehumanize him completely, even denying that it's him at all. they act like having to take care of him is this horrible act of sacrifice they're performing - and they don't even actually take care of him, they leave him alone all day no matter how badly he wants company, they don't clean his room and instead let him live in filth (in fact they put their junk in there making it more of a mess), they throw things at him injuring him further, and they don't feed him properly to the point where he dies of malnutrition.
to me the saddest part was when grete said (not verbatim) "if it were truly gregor then he would've known it was impossible for us to live with a thing like that, and left already." bc fuck man. yeah of course gregor just gave up and died after that. how could he go on. his sister used to love him more than anyone else. is it the worst and most selfish thing in the world to want to be cared for by your own family.
Imagine a book bar for people who can‘t sleep at night, their heads won‘t turn off or they just want to go out for a bit without having to go to a crowded place and scream at the bartender. In the book bar there‘s magical chill music playing, ambient lighting and lots of nooks and cranny’s where you can enjoy your drink and read in peace. you have enough space to bring your supplies to annotate, highlight the shit out of the pages or start a random journal session if inspiration hits you. the waiters don’t bother you, they each have their own read and start working on request only. like a space for people who want quiet but don’t want to be lonely.
does a place like this exist?

you want to be romantically attracted to someone? the thing that killed romeo and juliet?
girl who finally is going back to reading by finishing one book: now i'm going to read all the books in the world.
