I can't stop reading this book. I just read it for the third time in 9 months. It's so genre-bendy (I term I will be using from now on). It's funny, it's sexy- it's filled with YEARNING, and it's sci-fi with post colonial social commentary. Impeccable.

I mean. Wow. I wish I could formulate coherent literary analysis but I think I just need to sit with this for a month. Humanity, gender, politics, fear, love. The heart of culturally long-lasting, impactful sci fi is when the sci is merely a background to the fi, ya know?
Tried to pick a quote but can’t right now. If you hear shrill screaming in the distance just know it’s me wailing over this book

This is an incredible read if you're into abolitionist/reconstructionist reimagining's of the world post‐technological/economic de-growth. It is comforting to imagine beautiful futures, and to read about what it feels like to find companionship at a vulnerable time.

I saw Sinners for a second time (so I could see it on 70mm at the vista). I could see it a third time. The score for this film is also perfect. I read somewhere that Sinners was going to increase the love of Blues music, and I 100% believe it, and I also think that's incredible. It's such a moving, emotive, deep feeling, truly Black American genre, and I think we'd all be better off listening to more Blues.
The only other movie I saw twice in theaters in the opening two weeks is The Holiday.
