hi! i’m about to start with my thesis (shivers) this semester and i’m planning that it would also be focused on feminism (or ecofeminism, whichever topic will be approved by my adviser JDKDNDJ)

with this, i’d like to ask if you have any recommendations on books with feminist themes — something to motivate me in writing my thesis :”) books that talk about female bodies (how they’re treated in society, etc) or bodily autonomy? i’m more into reading fiction though i’m open to nonfiction recos too!

thank u in advance <33

My summer break is over and I’ve begun my graduate classes again.

I also work a full time job and I am a mom, so my reading has stalled significantly.

This is a rant and that is all, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

:(

curious if anyone here has managed to turn a love of books or reading into a job/career and if so, what do you do (if you don’t mind sharing)? what do you enjoy about it? are there any major drawbacks for you? 💕

Alright Boundlings I’m curious!! Who has made the switch to dark mode and who is keeping light mode? Dare I make it a competition and say battle it out with an emoji or gif in the comments on which team you are repping??

🎤 ahem in one corner we have the prettiest pastels and visually stunning colors… it’s Light Mode versus the new competitor, a dark sultry visually calming high color scheme… it’s Dark Mode. Let the battle begin 🥊

hehe in all seriousness I needed the high contrast that dark mode offers from an accessibility standpoint so team dark mode all the way over here 🖤

So I’ll come out and admit it. Before I got back into reading books again I was a bit of a Manhwa / Manga addict. (I read both) some part of me doesn’t know if I really count reading them as books and maybe that’s just because growing up adults called them picture books and that it’s not really reading.

I notice manga and graphic novels pop up every so often but I don’t know if webcomics are listed, and if not should I more so be listing it as the light novel if I want to list it at all?

Do you guys use Pagebound to keep track of the manga / webcomics you read or are you like me and keep it to a separate app?

It is officially 5th August for me and it is my birthday 🥂🥳✨

I just came to the age i dreamed about for years. For some people, this is 18, 21. And 23 is for me! 🤧

How did being 23 treat you? What is the age you dream about? For me, this is my last year of my uni. I kinda feel nervous, excited to see where my journey will go 🙂‍↕️ I sometimes feel late to everything, my peers younger than me by years. I have long education life ahead of me still (master + phd) So yes, i am kinda nerved about all of these, still trying to figure out life. But it is okay, i will set everything right, we have time 😌

Were you like me?

I genuinely wonder about the book i should read, experiences i should have at 23, what did you read/do at 23? I appreciate if you drop by and comment the book/thing i cant miss at 23! :) happy long lives everyone! 🤍🥂
