Damn that was enlightening and also a bit depressing. But I am very glad I read it! I learnt a lot about the history of patriarchy and that resistance has always been a part of it

As someone who completed an interdisciplinary bachelor, this was a great read! It is very interesting how we as a society focus on specialisation and how the insides you can get from other domains are so useful.

Robert was too insufferable.
It was enjoyable but this man just did not listen to Victoria and it bothered me to no end.

Invisible Strings: 113 Poets Respond to the Songs of Taylor Swift by Kristie Frederick Daugherty, Kristie Frederick Daugherty

Invisible Strings is a fun poetry bundle. There are some Taylor Swift inspired poems, but most of poems just weren't for me.
Ode to the Little Girl Singing Kareoke at My Nephew's Wedding Reception
This is the kind of poem I also expected in this bundle: poems inspired by people singing Taylor Swift music. Like here a young girl singing Would've Could've Should've while still having her girlhood
My favs:

This was very insightful for me! The chapter on cyborgs and that it is not as innocent an idea was very interesting to me. As well as getting informed on the "Ashley procedure". Overall I learnt a lot especially that I still have a lot to learn about ableism.

This book was so lovely! The world and the characters were very well crafted. I loved reading about all the different dreams and how they can help people. It was a light-hearted read but also had some very heartfelt moments that made me tear up.
The pets and their dreams ππ Especially the pets missing their owners during the festive season. I always feel bad leaving my cat alone. I hope she has nice dreams.
Highly recommend!
