Who was going to tell me that The Handmaid's Tale sucks?

Idk maybe The Parable of the Sower right before kinda set me up for failure bc Handmaiden truly pales in comparison.

On one hand you have a really interesting dystopian novel written by a black woman in the 90s about a black woman in the 2020s that is not only extremely applicable to our current situation but also arguably pretty timeless. It's realistic and well thought out and talks about religion and survival and love and pain in a way that's super nuanced and diverse. Also! It's well written! It reads extremely well and I got so caught up in the narrative that I finished it in a couple days and thought about it pretty much constantly afterwards.

And then you have whatever that was. The worldbuilding was clunky and unrealistic (which I am willing to look past if it serves a purpose or is acting as an allegory but it feels like something a 12 year old would come up with) and there's very little substance to the plot and long sections of pointless prose. Every good review that it gets essentially calls it "scary" because it feels like it was written with the sole purpose of scaring white women. There are like 5 sentences vaguely talking about how any people of color have been shipped off to somewhere else (?). The ambiguous ending feels less intriguing and thought provoking and more lazy and indecisive.

It's safe to say I was not impressed.

#i understand that it's somewhat satirical #but the whole thing reads like it was written for shock value #rather than to actually make any interesting points #like #yeah #extreme fundamentalist religion hurts women #do we have anything else to say or are we just trying to make white women feel special and oppressed and vaguely afraid?#leenie.scrapbook #leenie.yaps #leenie.reads #the handmaid's tale

thoughts on bloomers …

when I get my hands on a pair it's all over for you bitches

Okay you've sent me on a full bloomers deep dive

I've been seeing these become more popular recently and being worn as short, which are super cute

Personally, I'm really drawn to the longer victorian style bloomers, which I think look so so fun styled modern, especially with something like the top in the first pic
