1556- Los hombres no saben tratar a las mujeres. Son egoístas; cuando saben que son amados, nos olvidan; no se dan cuenta de que la mujer necesita más caricias del alma que del cuerpo.

hey! do you have any book recs?🙏❤️ I remember you mentioning reading a lot and you seem to have good taste so I trust you🫡 classics or contemporary, fiction or not doesn't matter. I don't really know what I like but I'm kinda picky about prose. I don't care for murder mysteries or anything about like, rich girls in NY having rich girl problems lol
hey<3 i absolutely have book recs<3 this is such a nice message<3
used this as an excuse to make a whole notes app list of best books of 2022 bc this year, during my summer of empty office receptionisting, i read the most books i have in like a decade lol
best books 2022:
fiction
* ulysses by james joyce - classic! i am not educated enough to read this book and i still read it and i think that's what james joyce would have wanted (cool enough prose to read 800 pages not understanding basic plot points)
* milk fed by melissa broder - wacky funny contemporary novel w/an anorexic female protagonist that actually doesn't suck
* her body and other parties by carmen maria machado - horror short story collection themed around womanhood
* seeing red by lina meruane - unsettling autobiographical novel w/very cool prose about a woman going blind
* we have always lived in the castle by shirley jackson - a classic, fast, creepy shirley jackson read
* the book of x by sarah rose etter - idk how to describe this one, but if the concept of a meat quarry intrigues you, i would give it a go
nonfiction
* house of psychotic women: an autobiographical topography of female neurosis in horror and exploitation films by kier-la janisse - maybe my favorite book of all time ever
* the liar's club by mary karr - the og Childhood Memoir
* slouching toward bethlehem/the white album by joan didion - stylish essay collections about The Sixties and The Seventies
* growgirl by heather donahue - celeb memoir by the blair witch project girl about how she quit acting and became a medical grower

las suffragettes.
Primero un poco de data:  El término suffragette designaba, a comienzos del siglo XX, a una mujer que reivindicaba el derecho a voto de las mujeres, y que incluso estaba dispuesta a infringir la ley para conseguirlo. Si nos ponemos en realistas, en aquella época se le denominaba “suffragettes” a las mismas mujeres que hoy en día son llamadas “feminazis”.
No nos dejemos engañar, las feministas de antes no eran “mejores y mas civilizadas” que las de ahora, simplemente rompían el estereotipo de la época igual que se hace hoy en día. Hoy en día los conservadores se refugian en unas palabras que me atrevo a disentir: “Las feministas de hoy en día no son como las de antes, las feministas de antes no eran violentas, no pintaban paredes ni mostraban las tetas”, ¡qué equivocados que están!, las feministas de antes hacían lo mismo que las de ahora, transgredían, se vestían como querían, pintaban las paredes y rompían cosas, porque estaban enojadas, estaban enojadas como nosotras.
Aunque el movimiento era uno solo, los conservadores distinguían dos: suffragettes y sufragistas. Las diferencias entre los dos grupos, según los neandertales, no estaba tanto en los objetivos que deseaban alcanzar sino en los métodos que aplicaban para su lucha. Las sufragistas eran mesuradas, prudentes, preferían avanzar poco a poco en sus reivindicaciones y siempre por métodos legales, y trataban mucho más de convencer que de imponer; además, en las organizaciones que formaron también aceptaban hombres. Por el contrario, las suffragettes se inclinaban por métodos de choque o de corte más enérgico y populista, hacían manifestaciones, organizaban protestas, huelgas de hambre, etc.
Mientras a ellas se les refería despectivamente como “suffragettes”, a nosotras nos definen como “feminazis”, ¿que diferencia hay entre las “feministas de antes” y las “feministas de ahora”? Ninguna, no la hay, no existe, no existirá. Y mientras ellos sigan tratando de diferenciarnos mas se va a repetir la historia. Fuimos mujeres luchando por nuestros derechos. Somos mujeres luchando por nuestros derechos. Seremos mujeres luchando por nuestros derechos hasta que no haga falta seguir haciéndolo.
Gracias Emily Wilding Davison, gracias Carmen Karr, gracias Millicent Fawcett, gracias Carrie Chapman Catt y especialmente gracias a Alicia Moreau de Justo y a Eva Perón, por ser suffragettes.

OC question time! Would you do 12 for Nick, 21 for Zuri, 3 for Jules and/or 14 for Slade? Thanks for indulging this curious bun! 🐰💛
Julianne : 3. What to they wear when they’re just at home hanging out? Either a huge old T shirt or a silk robe and slippers and there’s no in between
Nicholas : 12. Favorite holiday? Definitely not christmas Probably Hallow’s Eve (halloween) bc its Spooky and Fun and His Family Never Celebrated It When He Was a Child
Slade : 14. What was their first kiss like? Uhhhh Unexpected? His first real kiss was a Surprise Attack when Elizabeth got excited (and she was as shocked as him) (but recovered faster)
Zuriel : 21. What is their most prized possession? Honestly? Probably her iron working tools as they were gifts from her master after she finished her apprenticeship
Thank youuuuu

What are some books you would recommend then?
uhhh okay, this just looking at my bookshelf & trying to stick with things published in the last year or so. most of these writers are on their second or third (or, like, fucking SEVENTH) book though so i would definitely encourage you to check out other stuff by them as well (i bolded the authors whose other writings i dig)! 
[a general tip - if you like the tone or style of a book, find out who that author’s agent is and see who else they rep, or check out other books by that publisher/imprint (like, Graywolf Press publishes a lot of unconventional, interesting works in all genres). another tip, usually the whatever book wins the Booker Prize is the one that Did The Most that year, so it’s always good to check out the winner and the long/shortlist. The longlist for 2020 was just announced but i’ve only read like 2 on it so far.]
i tried to include content warnings for what i could remember/think of but be careful and take care of yourself!!!
NOVELS a visit from the goon squad - jennifer egan milkman - anna burns (cw for sectarian violence) women talking - miriam toews (cw for rape/sexual assault) grief is the thing with feathers - max porter such a fun age - kiley reid (cw for racism/microaggressions) exit west - mohsin hamid (cw for sectarian violence) the changeling - victor lavalle how to be safe - tom mcallister (cw for mass shooting/gun violence) lincoln in the bardo - george saunders [listen, i am Not A Fan of this one but they’ll take my MFA away if i don’t mention it]
POETRY black maria - aracelis girmay kill class - nomi stone the carrying - ada limon orogeny - irene mathieu post-traumatic hood disorder - david tomas martinez american sonnets for my past and future self - terrance hayes
MEMOIR/NONFICTION in the dream house - carmen maria machado (cw for abusive relationships) whip smart - melissa febos (cw for substance abuse & bdsm) lit - mary karr (cw for substance abuse) proxies - brian blachfield mother winter - sophia shalmiyev the narrow door - paul lisicky how we fight for our lives-  saeed jones against memoir - michelle tea empathy exams - leslie jamison they can’t kill us until they kill us - hanif abdurraqib dead girls - alice bolin (cw for gendered violence) mean - myriam gurba (cw for gendered violence, sexual assault)
