Advice for #BSUENG490 :
1. Always come to class prepared (aka read what's assigned)
2. Pace yourself when it comes to writing any papers (it's hard to cram it all in in one night)
3. Have an open mind (some of what we learned/read was very different)

"My rage, however, only grew. I was energized by aimless, volcanic fury 100% of the time. Perhaps I wasn't changing my nature but recognizing something that had always been there. My boredom had never really been boredom but rather a deep, deep anger." #BSUENG490

This has been the most bizarre film i've watched. There wasn't necessarily any dull moments either. Titane is not necessarily a movie i'd pick on my own, but glad to watch a movie that's different. #BSUENG490

least likely rec: Freshwater or specifically Snake. Freshwater was a little hard for me to fully understand and wrap my head around. Snake just really grossed me out
most likely rec:Binti was super unique and was super cool. I actually bought the other two books that is part of the series #BSUENG490

"Cheap. Cheap and disposable. Use and toss. That was what Bob had thought about her, from the very first." I already knew that I didn't like Bob, but after this line I had no patience for him. #BSUENG490

"It is rather our refusal to recognize those differences, and to examine the distortions which result from our misnaming them and their effects upon human behavior and expectations." (289) #BSUENG490

The Meduse scene in the dining hall took me by surprise. I do really like the description of them! I highly recommend looking up fan art of this monster.

"But men with disab ilities don't need verbal reminders of their "not-men" status. Even without words, their social position, their lack of power over themselves (let alone others), leads them to understand more fully their lacking masculinity." (131) #BSUENG490

"The politicians tell us, constantly, that we live in a Utopia. If anyone with any visibility ever suggests that this bliss may not come free..." (335) I thought this part was interesting and also would have been a great quote for yesterdays assignment with the Irish political group #BSUENG490

"That nasty man's face ruined my manicure, but i'll survive." (259) I love how sassy this singular line is whenI went past it while reading I laughed louder than i'd like to admit. #BSUENG490

"The young woman is addressed as a potential subject of great 'capacity'." (624) This line can really be taken different ways when standing alone. In this context it's supposed to be empowering, but if taken alone it can be twisted just like most things discussed in this theory. #BSUENG490

I feel kind of bad for Cassie I feel like she's too invested because she looks like Lexi so she almost feels like she has to figure things out. I also have a theory who did the killing and the baby daddy #BSUENG490

"The longer I stared into the bathroom mirror, that night while got ready for bed, the less it looked like me. When I hit the point where I couldn't remember what I had looked like to begin with, I gave up, gave the mirror the finger and went to bed." (pg. 97) #BSUENG490

"But if you've seen a dead body, you know howw they change the air: that huge silence, the absence strong as a black hole, time stopped and molecules frozen around the still thing that's learned the final secret, the one he can never tell." (page 170 #BSUENG490

"It has always been obvious that Yshwa, like other gods, is not moved by suffering in the ways humans imagine." (194) This part and describing how Yshwa changes appearance didn't really sit right with me. #BSUENG490

"I left ada to her new family. When she came to sit with me in the marble, we talked like old friends, as if we'd never planned to kill eachother." (pg. 158) #BSUENG490

"No objects, spaces, or bodies are sacred in themselves; any component can be interfaced with any other if the proper standard, the proper code, can be constructed for processing signals in a common language." (347) #BSUENG490

'"Don't worry," I whispered. "Fine girl. There are others who will want us, who I can make want us. It's easy." This little snippet on pg. 117 felt like super creepy just the it is worded. #BSUENG490

"But I was here now and I was the world, lying in ugly entrails."

I'm not fully sure why, but this quote just really stuck out to me. It feels very vulnerable and like just a strong hatered towards oneself. #BSUENG490

Truthfully I've never really thought of the concept of gender a whole lot more than the basic surface level, so while reading Butler's theory I was kind of all over the place. At the same time I thought the text was very interesting because it's not something I've read about or looked at. #BSUENG490

The beginning of this book is very shocking and kind of just took me by surprise. My jaw was definitely on the floor several times. Definitely excited to read more. #BSUENG490
