nothing is as tender as annotating your favourite books. it’s like leaving a piece of your heart on the pages for somebody else to find.

“Frankenstein can easily be turned into a biographers sandpit, but Mary’s story of promethean ambition, of rejection, the denial of love, and the danger of judging by appearances, was intended to carry the weight of a social message. What may have begun as an extension of the story of an Arctic explorer, or as a gothic tale for fireside thrills, was developed as a vehicle for ideas and social criticism. But when, in later life, she spoke of creature and book in one breath as ‘my hideous progeny’ and invited it to ‘go forth and prosper,’ she was aware that dramatized versions had already drained its life-fluid while hugely increasing its fame.”

~ Mary Shelley, Miranda Seymour, p.173

I hate posts that are like "someone less talented than you is doing what you want to do because they aren't scared" of course they ain't scared of shit they're nepotism babies — they got the name, the ressources and the money.

okay this post is no longer relevant because I got myself a new better dream internship, and I got accepted so yolo now

I think I got rejected from my dream internship yesterday :( I was so sad and depressed, I literally couldn’t do anything. Spent the entire day thinking about all the shit that I went through, and if it was really all worth it. Like I don’t know. Would I have been better qualified, more knoweldgable and skilled, if I didn’t have to go through so much shit with my family and community? Like I see my peers, who have actually not had people pulling them down and telling them they belong in the kitchen and below men, and they’re doing well! Would I have had the same chance at life as them if I had a similar background? Would I? or is failure inherent in myself?

something relatively traumatic happened in my family today and I realised my grandmom and I have very similar coping mechanisms, where she flips through the bible , and i scroll through tumblr. eventually both of us find smth to keep us going.

bro not to start again on names but u ever think abt how some names have been used for centuries, millenniums even…like how many times has the earth heard a mother calling, ‘alexander!’…how many times have the stars caught a lover whispering, ‘freyja’…how many times has the ground we’ve walked on and continue to walk on felt vibrations of a friend excitedly yelling, ‘mary!’
