Ships And Sales And Books

Sorry for being a bitch earlier, I needed to lay in the dark with my headphones for 3 hours to feel better

same but more like *3 years 😬

a lack of intersectionality in your personal politics will literally melt your brain. conceptualizing all systems of oppression as just disparate entities that arised entirely independently from one another is the most ahistorical take you could possibly have on any social phenomenon ever. look at how systems built on white supremacy have historically viewed homosexuality, transgenderism, disability, religious diversity, women, class, etc. and how the "logic" that upholds each of those reenforces the others, none of these can be tackled independently, thats just not something thats possible to do, to dismantle one you must dismantle all, to pretend otherwise is to perpetuate.

I mean to each their own and it's not really harmful per se, but so much of bookstagram, booktok and booktube is just a display of privilege. It's a privilege to own multiple copies of the same book, it's a privilege to "collect" every single edition of your favourite YA romance, it's a privilege to own ARCs and signed copies and beautiful illustrated hardback editions and claim "any true bookworm will know that amazing feeling of hoarding editions" like no, it isn't. It requires a certain level of financial stability and security to spend that much of money on creating an aesthetic display of books. Again, it's not a really bad thing, but I just feel so distant from all of it, as someone from a middle class family, who feels bad spending more than 500 rupees on books at a time.

The Internet is full of him, right now many hide behind a twisted 2nd Amend. logic.
