I'm not gonna recommend Judith Ivory's Beast because there's just too much problematic shit going on re: how it interacts with North Africa (on the fetishistic side, not the "we hate Muslims" side, like tbh I was surprised by a throwaway line... from a French guy... referring to the French as oppressors, but nonetheless it's just a liiiiil too late 90s re: the language for me to go "YOU SHOULD READ THIS" responsibly, though I am gonna try more from her because otherwise it's well-done) BUT
I do feel like historical romance has a sincere need for more plots like "pretty high-strung virgin who can't drive and knows she's hottest girl on the block is betrothed to a man everyone says is ugly and tbh he just sounds like he's got an Adam Driver vibe or something and is also blind in one eye and Extremely Sensitive About It but he wants to marry her anyway because he's obsessed with making perfumes and her dad owns SO MUCH AMBERGRIS meets said man on a ship but he's in disguise because he's Extremely Sensitive About His Appearance and wants to fuck with her but ends up FUCKING HER a lot but only in the dark or when she's blindfolded so that she doesn't know it's actually him and not a "pasha" but then when they actually meet for the wedding she's like FUCK I can't marry this guy and he's like bUT EVERYTHING WAS GOING SO WELL WHEN WE WERE FUCKING ON THE BOAT 5x A NIGHT AND YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHO I WAAAAAS"
just without the "he's disguised as a 'pasha' part"

author i'm beefing with: "i feel slight revulsion about the word 'spiritual', it's got negative overtones, aren't you deluding yourself and others with it, keep it to yourself"
same author, literally twelve (12) pages later: *spends a page describing spiritual experiences, sharing them with the world, but insists they don't count as "spiritual" because they're about the physical material world*
my dude it's not just believers who try to have it both ways, huh

There is no one sweeter and nicer than the tunisian guy working at the local kebab, barely speaks french but he's genuinely nice and happy to see me order something each time after weeks of being somewhere else for work

one of the cashiers at the grocery store i go to is so fucking fixated on shoplifters and it drives me crazy any time i check out through him (i try to avoid him but his checkout is often the most open/empty - hm! i wonder why! - and im often on a tight schedule w the bus). he brings up shoplifters every opportunity he gets and he seems so convinced that theyre a huge problem.
BUT WHAT REALLY GETS ME ,,, is that today the customer in front of me was needing a price check on one of the items bc it should've come out to be cheaper, so he was kind of apologetic abt it and saying "ah well, yknow, six dollars is six dollars, especially with how expensive groceries are right now" and i was nodding and agreeing (trying to show that i dont mind the wait and also solidarity my guy good for u for speaking up and getting the price fixed on that) AND THE CASHIER AGREES. FULLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND BEMOANS THE FACT THAT GROCERIES ARE CRAZY RN. AND THEN GOES ON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SHOPLIFTERS. HUH ??????
so you agree that groceries are unreasonably expensive... and that sometimes ppl can't afford them... and yet ....................
