another fucking asian-americanadian snowflake who, not only was ashamed of his family's stinky food, this one went so far as to throw his lunch away
needless to say, i stopped after chapter 3

this is an english translation of Kim Hyesoon's work
as a writer, i can feel that a lot has been lost in this translation, and so, i've decided that i'll probably have to buy a hangul/english version to enjoy it

The Future of Free Speech: Reversing the Global Decline of Democracy's Most Essential Freedom by Jacob Mchangama and Jeff Kosseff [323.443 Mc]

TRIGGER WARNING!
WHAT THE FUCK!
this book has the en-word in it, in full text, as a quote of someone else's words, on page 38
i obviously shut the book immediately, and now i'm updating this post [15aug2026 1142]
who would include this in a book without any sort of demarcation so that the word is not explicitly visible?
if you want ALL people to feel welcome to read this book, YOU'VE FAILED!
NOT SUGGESTED. in fact, if i believed in burning books (i don't), i'd burn this one.
and now, i dunno if i should take down the post of Mchangama's other book!
FUCK YOU BOTH! FUCK!

Book Haul #firstround

there's a "tailor" section in this book, early on, maybe only a third of the way through, and it's apparent to me that Garcia has never met a woman tailor, and the idea of a woman tailor is beyond her comprehension, and so, i shut the book at the end of the section about tailoring, and i will not be completing nor promoting this read.

it's an older book, but it's aged really really well, imo. &the cover, obviously, makes me feel super cool, lol. im referring to a pic of myself from exactly five years after the date of this book, wherein im in a b&w striped long-sleeved shirt, lol. &she's just so fucking hot. she's, obviously, so tiny, so it's tough to like imagine yourself being able to rock her style, &c., and since we (as a society) are not really talking about women's bodies anymore, it's refreshing to read that Victoria Beckham was already thinking about this sort of thing. Beckham seems to prefer a slimmer look for herself (some women are naturally this tiny, it's true, but i've heard about her "eating habits," but whether or not they're true is beyond me, nevertheless,) she remembers to include the fact that some women might not be her size, so i can, generally speaking, promote Beckham, because whether or not she prefers "slimmer" women (she does, cause the images for the swimsuit layout page describes "nautical, sexy, curvy, and girlie," but the photos of the women "modeling" the types are all skinny "white" (or white-passing, no faces or the one same woman) women. nevertheless, as stated already, despite Beckham's preference, she seems to understand that she's gotta include more women, and this book's twenty years old, so *cheers*
