such an fascinating set of essays, the only thing stopping this being a 5 star review is that a couple of the essays fell flat for me, but the following are all irrevocably 5 stars:
i in internet: felt like all my worst fears and deepest grievances with the internet which i’ve never fully understood were just spelt out to me in clear colour. illuminating but terrifying.
always be optimising: exposes the terrifying truths of our reality, living in a capitalist system as a women. this essay dissects the complex fabrications of the ideal woman’s lifestyle which we so readily subscribe to.
