a chic little problematization of that genus of mythical creature called the novel and its skeletal geometries.

If you saw that NYT headline “the future isn’t female anymore” and you’re wondering what the fuck is going on with women, this book is a good place to start. the cool thing about theory is that you actually only have to read the introduction.

incredible incredible book about horror and monsters and our bodies and why we’re so fascinated with the monstrous form and how monsters are inherently queer. literally my sacred text.

does it make you sick to your stomach that you are flesh and bones and hair and a heart that is too young to understand the extent to which it feels?
does it make you sick to your belly that you are going to die one day, or do you savor it?
i think there’s novelty in mortality, and duh, no shit, you’re a 16 year old girl. of course you think there’s novelty in anything bordering on deviation. but the question is really, what isn’t a novelty?!
it’s defined as (🤓) the quality of being new, original, or unusual, and arguably everything is original unusual or new. you are new, you are not the woman you were twenty seconds ago deciding whether or not bath time was economic
today in my philosophy class, we, under the lens of Plato other Socratic philosophy, differentiated BEING versus BECOMING.
Being, being ( haha!!) the concepts rooted in an unchangeable context
Becoming, the tangible facets where in these concepts find their applications
FOOORR EXAMPLEE
beauty itself is BEING. while convention and subjectivity are aspects of beauty, they may only be expressed in beauty‘s application, therefore BECOMING instead.
my beautiful beautiful girlfriend is an example of such a thing. she is becoming, and she is beautiful in all sorts of convention and subjectivity , but the concept of beauty as it pertains to her beauty here is rather an expression of the concept rather than a way it is changed in its foundation
does that make sense to you?
THE POINT IS
nothing is new, rather created under the conceptual framework of such that is BEING. But, nothing ever exists for a moment more than it is supposed to, and to remind you dear reader I am not the woman i was at the start of this post. I am rushing, jumbled, and once again deciding whether or not bath time is economic. All is connected by what is BEING, but we take actions which create NEW UNUSUAL and ORIGINAL applications of these beings.
novelty, as a result, is both impossible to achieve and ignore
every girl deserves bath time i think

perhaps vieux jeu, but i think it practical yet chic! i find i drink decidedly more water, and i so love the look of it next to my glasses case, my books, and my trinket dish. the glass of mine is of the richest shade of amber, and it turns to nacarat in the sun!!!!!!!!
