Has anyone checked in on Megan West?!? Is she okay?? After she created an entire false narrative for her character WHICH WAS PROVEN TO BE COMPLETELY FALSE! Because she never really changed. I wonder how she’s doing after fighting for her life defending a non-redeemable character.

second tag meme and also from @ravenkinnie: book recs!
no time to spare / ursula le guin / i've been slowly trying to make my way through her essay collections and this is one i really love so far. i also read words are my matter but that one had some of her more questionable political stances so i enjoyed this one bc it was focused on more generic and personal topics
good intentions / kasim ali / i would honestly highly recommend this to south asians specifically bc i don't think i've seen any other book that holds south asian millennials accountable for their tendency to damn their parents to inflexibility from the outset and then fail to hold themselves accountable for never challenging traditional mindsets. this book specifically deals with anti-blackness within the south asian community and i think it does a fantastic job of it (please wait until the end bc it does end as it deserves to end but for a moment you will get worried towards the middle that it won't go that way lol. trust me)
the king of attolia / megan whalen turner / obv i would rec the queen's thief series in general but this is by and large my favorite of the whole series (well. bar the sixth book which closely ties with it) and much as i am sure everyone loved this series the most when it was from eugenides's perspective i cannot help but think that i never love eugenides more than when i read about him through the perspective of those who love him dearly
each little bird that sings / deborah wiles / this was a pretty formative book in my childhood esp wrt the concept of how children process death. it's actually part of a quartet of companion novels, each of which i love dearly and one of which is actually the inspiration for my current username, but i think this one is executed the best and it also happens to be the most well known installment, definitely for good reason
supreme inequality / adam cohen / i feel like if you're not necessarily into studying the law but want to gain a better, in-depth understanding of why we are where we are right now with american law this is a good book to read. it corrects a lot of misconceptions around the idea that the supreme court was ever consistently progressive (ie severe brevity and breakdown of the social welfare oriented burger era) and discusses the evolution of judicial interpretation of major topics over the course of the last several decades
the f team / rawah arja / this came as a rec in a melina marchetta newsletter and i'm so glad it did! it's a really fun and messy look into life as a lebanese-australian boy and what i think it does well is not shy away from culturally ingrained flaws, rather seek to dissect and understand them and highlight how crucial an emotionally mature and communication-dependent upbringing is for young muslim/arab boys. there are a few jokes here and there that caught the side eye from me bc they felt severely lacking in self-awareness but other than that i really enjoyed it
the piper's son / melina marchetta / my favorite marchetta novel forever and always, and the second installment in the inner west trilogy of companion novels, following saving francesca. what i really adore about this one is the interplay of grief between so many people and this guilt you have to overcome over the impact of the death of a loved one on your life. bc sometimes it utterly tears you apart and other times it brings you together and the emotions of that are so horribly complicated. i also simply adore the continued exploration of the main friend group and how as harsh as the girls are on tom they are so protective and dedicated, too, bc that's how they all are with each other. it's a book that constantly makes me ache
beloved / toni morrison / interestingly i find this book to be highly relevant considering the recent abortion fiasco in the american legal scene and its relation to abusive domestic situations but it's also one of the books i loved reading the most in undergrad particularly bc of its brutal exploration into how oppressed peoples are driven to self-inflicted violence as a last resort. can you blame a woman for killing her child when the only other option was damning that child to a life of slavery? it's a situation that has to be analyzed with so much empathy and compassion and that's exactly what morrison affords it
the secret garden / frances hodgson burnett / one of two other books i loved reading the most in undergrad (with the third one being north and south). i read this for a british literature class that i took at a time i was severely starting to doubt my degree again after having already gone through a really rough depressive period following jonghyun's death so it really opportunely entered my life. i remember reading the magic monologue towards the end and just crying and crying bc it felt so liberating and while the rest of my undergrad journey was not necessarily a total high i do think this helped comfort me a lot

Don’t mean to across slut shame-y in anyway possible but I can’t help but think how different they have Marisol dressed (I mean, it’s hard not to notice the cleavage) as compared to other women on this show, particularly love interests. I don’t know what the reason is but I do know costume and wardrobe play a part in media so it does feel like it was done for a very pointed reason. My guess would be to make Eddie appear in a very specific light and in contrast to Buck.
i’ll be honest i was not going to answer this and then i read the whole thing and i kinda agree. it’s very unlike the show to dress female love interests in such a way, and the last time i can remember a similar thing is taylor in the red dress when buck was literally using her as a prop against veronica and albert (and the only reason it’s on top of my recall memory is because megan west just looked drop dead gorgeous in that episode lmao).
but like i can see this from two possible perspectives that kind of relate to one another:
1. the buck pov and buddie of it all, if we’re still in bucks eyes it could be a very deliberate tool to say that buck is very hyper aware that his best friend eddie is here and on a date with a WOMAN. and that he can’t be into his friend eddie because he’s with a WOMAN.
2. the metatextual anti-buddie of it all. that same sentiment could possibly be applied to the show creators trying to send their viewers a message like heyyyy eddie is dating a woman! did you forget he likes GIRLS! well now you didn’t!
or they just thought the shirt was nice, that’s always an option i guess.

Not that the hiring folks would know, but damn does 911 have an unfortunate history of hiring homophobes (Edy, I think Gabrielle and Cocoa, and Megan West) transphobes (Edy), people who lie about their ethnicity/race (Gabrielle), and a side sprinkling of anti-vaxxers (Rockmond for sure who I think is claiming to be fired over his religious beliefs, good grief).
Really weird trend for three of these shitty people to have been and still are love interests for either Buck or Eddie. =/

Oh MW is definitely not ok! She’s liking and engaging with tweets that ‘defended’ Taylor kelly bc she can do no wrong. At least GW had the decency to end on a positive note thanking everybody. MW’s been low key petty all day🤭
I had to go and see and honestly she is still continuing to live her to delusional life. I cannot believe she liked this tweet like excuse me everything you dealt with???? What about everything HE dealt with? Girl bye.

Another one bites the dust. Kanye West’s personal trainer, Harley Pasternak @HarleyPasternak, who he recently gave a shoutout during his interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, says he has officially cut ties with the man he has considered a friend for 15 years. Pasternak, who is Jewish, says his decision to keep his distance from Ye comes after the rapper made an anti-semitic remark on Twitter over the weekend which infuriated a lot of celebs, predominantly those of Jewish descent. ______________________________ In an interview with Newsweek, Pasternak, who has famously trained countless stars, including Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Megan Fox, and Adam Levine, to name a few, said he had a five-hour conversation with West on Sunday, during which time he realized Ye was clearly on the verge of a meltdown. “I will not speak with him again until he issues a formal apology,” he told the publication. “If people continue to give him a platform to discuss hateful, antisemitic rhetoric, they’re complicit, so I applaud Facebook and Twitter.” ______________________________ Pasternak also took issue that there appeared to be more outrage when West wore a “White Lives Matter” shirt at his Yeezy fashion show in Paris last week than the remark he had made about the Jewish community, prompting him to ask why the same energy was not being kept when Ye came after the Jews. “The amount of outrage that came from a T-shirt that he wore a few days earlier was a millionfold more vocal than the tweet that he implied that he was going to wipe out a race of people.” - @hollywoodunlocked #selectiveoutrage #kanyewest #selectiveoutragesyndrome #HarleyPasternak #Kanye @kanyewest https://www.instagram.com/p/CjlNGlXLC17/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
