I Promise That You’ll Never Find Another Like ME!

So it’s been a while since I’ve read but I finally finished this intriguing beauty! Psychopathia Sexualis is a German psychiatry book from the late 1800s and gained some popularity from fellow psychiatrists and the public and also hate from the church (gasp*). It of course is outdated when it comes to women (who were not considered sexual people unless mentally “tainted”) and the lgbt community (he tried to be sympathetic towards “congenital homosexuals” and how they should not be considered criminals cause they “don’t see themselves as unnatural” but still treats them as tainted people who are below “normal” people). However the cases are what kept me intrigued reading about different issues and where they believe they’ve stemmed from and how their physical measurements (I.e cranial shape, brain anomalies, family history, and genital measurements) may contribute to different sexual deviancies. I also highlighted a couple of my (for lack of a better word) favorite cases that for some reason I wanted to share. #psycopathiasexualis #oldentimes https://www.instagram.com/p/CnHxHnbum07/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Hag-Seed has such an insane plot for revenge that’s 12 years in the making and a great internal monologue that drew me in and kept the pacing fast all the way up to the ketamine-mushroom “immersion theatre” Felix forces upon the men he’s getting revenge on! I’ve never read the Tempest so I’m probably not getting as much out of this book as I could but @therealmargaretatwood put a synopsis at the end that helped see the parallels in her story. There’s still a lot of the play in the book because the main character is directing the Tempest at a Canadian prison with the inmates as the cast. I enjoyed seeing the inmates learning/acting/interpreting the play and how the inmates round out the characters at the end, as you would in class, giving interpretations and their feelings of the roles they’ve played. Definitely recommend if you like a good Shakespearean revenge story! #hagseed #tempest #margaretatwood #shakespeare https://www.instagram.com/p/ChnP80ovdd7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Witch’s Heart was so good! My only knowledge of Norse mythology was the MCU so basically just knew a few names.. @gengornichec does an amazing job introducing the reader to the Nine Worlds following Angrboda as she raises her and Loki’s children until Ragnarok happens. Highly recommend!! #thewitchsheart #norse #ragnarok #loki https://www.instagram.com/p/ChU-0TJuYdn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

By far the most disturbing dystopian series I’ve ever read! The Unwind series shows America post civil war over abortion and somehow the agreement is you can have your kid cut up and used as parts for people who need/want them from ages 13-18! I greatly enjoy this series and @nealshusterman gives these brilliant character arcs that you will not be able to predict! He also has terrifyingly brilliant imagery with an unwinding that gave me nightmares! Definitely recommend and I really hope this gets made into the tv series they announced! #unwind #unwholly #unsouled #undivided #unbound #nealshusterman #abortionrightsarehumanrights #dystopianfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg7b0Dnuzkk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Went ahead and did this since the government has decided I can’t decide for myself what I want so I’ll exercise my first amendment right 🖕🏻🖕🏻 #thesatanictemple #reproductiverights #reproductivejustice #abortionishealthcare #abortthecourt https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfg5-jWuj2I/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Heard about #briefinterviewswithhideousmen through @theoffice because it was @johnkrasinski director debut so I had to read it! It took me a little bit to get the style of DFW but I found it intriguing and witty and one story a little graphic about “the father’s” gross son 😅 thanks John for the book rec! I can’t wait to watch the adaptation! #davidfosterwallace #johnkrasinski https://www.instagram.com/p/CfSpQ3JD1A0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Such a good continuation of #thehandmaidstale! I enjoyed seeing the corruption at each level having multiple points of view. Still a horrifying amount of relatable stuff going on today and it’s really sad to be able to relate so hard to a dystopian novel..I hope it never comes to something so horrific.. #thetestaments #bansoffourbodies https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce430KTDMvV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I knew reading this would upset me because of the current horrible political climate fueled by #cult45 and, of course, it did. The frightening ties one can make to today’s “patriotic” right wing extremists to how the events in #thehandmaidstale played out is extremely unsettling…it makes the #insurrection of Jan 6 look even more dangerous! Definitely recommend this to every woman especially those who don’t seem concerned with what the #whiteright is doing with these horrible anti-women and anti-lgbtqia legislature! #womensrightsarehumanrights #lgbtrightsarehumanrights #voteblue https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd53_fkOBst/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

NOBODY should have to “supply” human beings for another person! There are roughly 120000 kids waiting to be adopted! But…oh no…they aren’t the “perfect white newborns”? Go fuck your fake prolife ass! https://www.instagram.com/p/CdVr2GvOPVz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is absolutely disgusting! Any man who believes that women can be “over educated” has clearly made “being a man” their whole personality and feels threatened.. 🙄 Also, any woman who votes for men like this has no self respect 🤷🏻‍♀️ #womensrights #fuckthepatriarchy https://www.instagram.com/p/CdKI2Cfj3mI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is where we are now 🤷🏻‍♀️#womensrights #roevwade https://www.instagram.com/p/CdGIPX_O09P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Omg this series was insane! I know it looks like smut but there’s honestly only a couple vanilla scenes per book. This is the best revenge serial killer plot I’ve read or seen! Highly recommend if you can stomach some truly fucked up stuff.. Also their pen name took me a couple books to realize the pun 😅 TW: SA and torture #mindfuckseries #stabbyauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc_VuWiPgSf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Deleted fb and made sure to save my old photos from 13 years ago…. But look how cute we were at @dfyns prom in ‘09! 🥹 #nostalgia #highschoolprom #brokenarrowhighschool https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc-fmVhOsdu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So I never planned on reading this book cause it just looked like some boring chick lit book 😅 but @alannarenee1985 recommended it to me and after I saw @taylorswift post about it I knew I had to do it and it was worth it! Such a surprisingly good story with a few awesome plot twists and an ending that made my jaw drop! If you didn’t jump on the bandwagon and read it when it came out I definitely recommend reading it now especially before the movie comes out! #wherethecrawdadssing #bookclub #neverjudgeabookbyitscover https://www.instagram.com/p/CcaWl8AO723/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finally able to stream @tayloracornmusic new cover!!! 😍😍 #firstdate #tayloracorn #blink182 https://www.instagram.com/p/CcYMgMbuz32/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Hot Zone was so fascinating!! Thank @wineandcrimepod for this recommendation during their 57th episode about bio crimes! I apparently find the Ebola virus fascinating with what it does so quickly and horrifically to the body 😅 I definitely recommend this @richardprestonauthor book! #thehotzone #wineandcrime #ebola https://www.instagram.com/p/CcIoZdUuepM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#7 from my @younetflix reading list is a bust …idk but this was just dull to me..I stopped about a quarter through it and just didn’t care what happened to who. I’ve heard it’s a classic but..oh well just not for me I guess. #jackkerouac #ontheroad #classicbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Cas6WZ5uaGu/?utm_medium=tumblr
