There’s something so satisfying about seeing local haunts and everyday places you know on screen 😌
Been in Seattle a handful of years now, and really taking in how beautiful the PNW can be through others’ eyes and stories. Also some major nostalgia goggles for 90s Seattle.

this is something i should do much more of. every time i visit another city i scope out the best spots, hit all the sights, and pack in my days with fresh experiences.
once u live somewhere for a while u just kinda stop being excited and fall into a routine. there are still so many things i haven’t seen in nyc, and probably will never see, because 90% of my time is spent in my own neighborhood.
be a tourist in your own city

i love reading a book in a place that i've lived and it's clear that the author has also spent time there and it's so fun being reminded of places you know - came to mind bc i was reading yellowface and the main character lives in dc and there were a bunch of references to different dc spots which made me nostalgic for when i lived there

Absolutely loved this uncanny collection of short stories. Ling Ma creates depth and discomfort in her characters so well, and creeps up on you with narratives that’ll leave you thinking.
Severance (her novel) was also one of my favorite reads last year.
