Finishing up my review and getting some reading done

Trompe l'oeil still lifes, Details. By William Michael Harnett (American, 1848-1892)

Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the “I can fix him” movement but that’s just not me. He’ll fix himself if knows what’s good for him’ and that’s why her works are still calling the shots today.

frankenstein is about self loathing and recognition through the Other. it’s about the original sin. it’s about what we owe to our creations and each other. it’s about internalized homophobia and the monstrosity of a man desiring another man. it’s about Romance. it’s about romance. it’s about playing god. it’s about being transgender. it’s about the absent fathergod. it’s about society. it’s about unethical medical experiments. it’s about gay college dropouts. it’s about a big nasty monster dude who is, and i cannot stress this enough, spooky

I'm the modern Oracle of Delphi but instead of breathing in ground vapors to bring about visions I just drink an extra large french vanilla iced coffee and vibrate until I am tuned in

I'm all for academic integrity and accurate citing until I change the access date in the footnote to make my professors think I didn't procrastinate

I need to go into the forest and scream for an hour and a half

“I look around my library some nights and I do these terrible things to myself: I count up the books and think, how long I might have to live and think, ‘Fuck, I can’t read two-thirds of these books.’ It overwhelms me with sadness.”

— David Bowie, 2002
