"like a wild animal gnawing off a leg to escape the jaws of a trap, i force myself to find new places to call home. inescapable choices to deal with inescapable tragedies. i just worry that i only have so many legs to stand on, and one day i'll fall and hit the basement of loneliness."

what is the nature of sacrifice?

fake out - fall out boy // atonement (2007) // the year in ugliness by arabelle sicardi // 14 lines from love letters or suicide notes by doc luben // crazy rich asians (2018) // the perks of being a wallflower (2012) // symphony no. 2 in c minor, or the resurrection symphony - gustav mahler // myself

The Year in Ugliness

By:Arabelle Sicardi

If beauty is in acts of ordinary devotion I think ugliness must be in the acts of everyday neglect, small gestures that chip and chip and eventually rip shards of what it means to be human, to be loved and loving, out of you. It is easy to pretend nothing is happening. It is easy to walk quickly past something that makes you uncomfortable. It is easy to freeze and stay frozen until your chance is gone. It is easy to save yourself first. It is easy to turn and keep walking. It’s instinctual. That does not mean it is forgivable. Fixing everything in the world is impossible. But it is also impossible to know how much a little thing can count for. Not knowing and not daring to find out—that is ugliness, too.

Claudia Rankine wrote that loneliness is what we can’t do for each other.

I think a definition of ugliness is what we’re too afraid to do. What we don’t want to do.

"A few weeks ago, I came across the knowledge that gauze - the word and the cloth itself - comes from Gaza. Gauze, that lightweight open-weave cotton fabric, breathable, forgiving, found in any well-stocked First Aid Kit and certainly any medical establishment - it’s from Gaza. It was originally made of silk and used in clothing, and now it is made of silk, cotton, and other kinds of fabrics. But the origins lie in Gaza, a place now being utterly decimated, where the hospitals are bombed, where surgeons are having to perform on children, often their own, with no anesthesia, no medications, no sterilized environment and often no…gauze. To have given the world something synonymous with care, with healing, and to be deprived of it so utterly - is that not the saddest, most haunting thing?"

The History of Gauze is Haunting Me, Arabelle Sicardi

Fragrance has always been next to holiness to me, in different ways — my casual visits to Churches and my hours in temples. I thought my nose was broken everywhere else: I couldn’t smell food, it held no memory, but I could divine the smell of Gods. They smelled to me like incense and still water.

What are 2-5 already published fiction books you think you want to read in 2023?

lote by shola von reinhold, hell followed with us by andrew joseph white, mickey 7 by ashton edward, the book of goose by yiyun li, and of course assassin's apprentice by robin hobb due to your impact : )

15. Any other reading you'll do in 2023 that you want to recommend to folks? Newspapers, substack, favorite blog, etc?

lol i dont really read substacks except for ave's and anne boyer's and arabelle sicardi's #rookienation.... i subscribe to the transgender studies quarterly and try to keep up with that, its usually also at least partially available online for free... i have been following the launch of parapraxis mag online; even though psychoanalysis really does nothing for me there are a lot of scholars i respect associated with the outlet so i am trying to be open minded and i have liked what ive read so far. i read the chicago review of books intermittently! and i of course follow many excellent blogs but i always get shy about tagging them so i will plead the fifth
