Octavia Butler hits again. Profoundly unsettling and deeply analytical, she does not allow for complacent reading. And still, a gripping read with incredible writing. In only 250pgs! how does she do it!

Nice little non-fiction footnote (1), reminding us in the US that our police regularly violate the geneva convention and use chemical weapons on civilians 💫
Tear gas has been deemed a "riot control agent," which exempts it from chemical weapons law. As such, it is regularly used by police on citizens in city streets, while still being prohibited from war zones.

got 3/4 through Dickens' David Copperfield before I realized he was never going to become a magician, dnfd in disappointment
Give me your silliest, nitpickiest reason you stopped reading a book!
My pettiest reason has to be when a woman living in Arthurian times took note of another woman not wearing a corset, when corsets wouldn't be invented until literally a thousand years later (and not even called corsets until the Victorian era). I was about four chapters in I think and I put that book right down.
