At Night All Blood Is Black by David Diop

i liked this but i need to reread, especially to better understand the ending. I am just gravitating towards a lot of grief-stricken rage in art of all mediums and this is not the exception
It Did Happen Here: An Antifascist People's History by Mic Crenshaw, Erin Yanke, Alec Dunn, Celina Flores, Julie Perini, Moe Bowstern
5.0
… this book was made to be read by my ex who shits on portland. I did unintentionally got this book not realizing it was set in Portland so it was an added plus to get to visualize the locations where events took place. Also this is the type of history I like and hope to see more of. Really cohesive for how many people they interviewed!!

the person who checked me out at the brooklyn bookstore i unintentionally happened upon was not lying when they said these short stories were better than Octavia’s novels

The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing
5.0
Too highbrow for me but in the best way where I’m going to have to reread it. The culmination of anthropological observation, histories of cultures, economics, and biology all together was done well. I don’t understand economics well enough outside the context of healthcare so I will need to brush up on that to better fully understand her critique of capitalism. (Did not even know this book was set partially in Oregon when I got it. I did not know that such foraging and interactions were occurring in an area that I have frequented.)
The Wrong End of the Telescope by Rabih Alameddine
fast-paced

Took me forever to finish this! Not because of the book but I wasn’t able to sit with myself and my thoughts enough to read anything. So poignant !!
Savage Gods by Paul Kingsnorth

I need to reread but I loved the rambling musings. I think it is egotistical as egotistical as he himself worries writing is. But meaningfulness arises from others’ egoism sometimes i guess
