Read It and Weep

Here’s where I'll tell you my brief thoughts about my favorite books, current reads, or future TBRs (To Be Read)!

  • The Picture of Dorian Gray (7/10)
    My Thoughts on The Picture of Dorian Gray

    This one’s about a beautiful man named Dorian who makes a wish that his portrait will age instead of him and, somehow, it works. As he dives deeper into a life of indulgence and moral decay, his painting becomes a horrifying reflection of his choices while he stays unnaturally young and charming. Oscar Wilde’s writing is undeniably stunning. There’s sharp wit, haunting imagery, and layers of meaning tucked into every page. I totally understand why it’s considered a classic. That said, while the concept fascinated me, the story itself didn’t quite pull me in emotionally. I appreciated it more as a clever, well-crafted piece of literature than something I personally felt. Still, it’s a unique and thought-provoking read.

  • The Blue Sisters (5/10)
    My Thoughts on The Blue Sisters

    This novel follows three sisters navigating life and grief after the death of their sister. It dives deep into dysfunctional family dymanics, trauma, and the messy, tangled love that can exist between people who’ve been through too much together and cant properly communicate their feelings. I won’t lie; I teared up more than once. But that might just be because sister stories make me so sentimental. Coco Mellors really nails the strange magic of having deep bonds with your siblings despite sometimes not standing them. That said, most of the characters were pretty hard to root for, which made it tough to stay emotionally invested. The plot had its moments, but overall, it didn’t fully land for me.

  • Animal Farm (7/10)
    My Thoughts on Animal Farm

    Animal Farm by George Orwell is a political allegory that uses a group of rebellious farm animals to critique totalitarianism and the corrupting nature of power. The story follows the animals on Manor Farm as they overthrow their human owner in hopes of creating an equal society. However, as time passes, the pigs in charge become increasingly oppressive, mirroring the very tyranny they fought against. I appreciated how easy it was to read and how brief yet impactful the story was. Orwell’s commentary on totalitarian regimes and the flaws of capitalist systems still feels incredibly relevant today. That said, I didn’t enjoy the actual reading experience as much as I expected. I respected the message more than I connected with the story itself.

  • Sense and Sensibility (9/10)
    My Thoughts on Sense and Sensibility

    Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen is a timeless novel that follows the Dashwood sisters (Marianne and Elinor) as they navigate love, loss, and societal expectations in 19th-century England. The story contrasts Marianne’s passionate, impulsive nature with Elinor’s composed, rational approach, exploring how each woman deals with heartbreak and duty in her own way. I absolutely adored this book. I saw so much of myself in Marianne, her emotional intensity, her romanticism, and especially her love for her sister. Elinor’s quiet strength and willingness to put others first made me love her just as deeply. Their bond is beautiful, and the emotional rollercoaster of misunderstandings, heartbreaks, and eventual resolutions had me completely hooked. The drama! The twists! And of course, the perfectly satisfying endings with couples finally finding love! It all made my heart so full. I genuinely didn’t want it to end.

Youtube Time

As a youtube and long-form-content fiend this is where I'll document the videos that I think are worth checking out!

  • The Yard Podcast — Hosted by Ludwig, Nick, Slime, and Aiden, it's a comedy podcast where four friends from the SMASH community riff on random shit in streaming and gaming culture. They are pretty crass and vulgar but i just can't get enough of them.
  • M2AF — Hosted by Nick and Alex, This webseries is just 2 guys playing old COD and talking nonsense but the way they banter and build off eachothers stupidity is actually hillarious and so relatable. Some may say its brainrot I say its Love. #Xbox360Summer #PSL
  • Wild Card — This Podcast by NPR is a refreshing interview podcast where guests draw random deep or quirky questions from a deck, leading to unexpectedly honest and emotional conversations. Hosted by Rachel Martin, it feels more like a meaningful hangout than a typical interview.

Word Vomit

This is where i will annoyingly vent about issues in my life. Will it be brutal to read? Perhaps, Yes. But a girl has to express her feelings in a healthy way, Right?.

I'll start with a recent converation at work that actually boilied my blood and made me wish the absolute worst for the poor, miserable fucks at Firebirds.

Men at Firebirds ad thier Stupidity

There is a very specific element wrapping pattern you need to follow for the styling to look correct. Usually, you'll probably be splitting your page into sections, so use the <section> tag with the "post: class with the following structure:

Conversation with Dave and Alexis

To be Continued Lungfish.

There are two scenarios where you don't want to use section: if you're doing an actual list of blog posts, each post should be wrapped in an article tag, so use <article class="post"> instead. If you're just using the boxes for stylistic purposes, use <div class="post">. (If you're not sure whether that's the case, you should most likely use a regular div if there's no header at the beginning of the section.)

Tags

The footer is optional, so just delete it if you don't want it. You can also add "tags" to the footer in true Tumblr fashion:

<footer class="article-footer"><div class="date">Date or whatever</div> <div class="tags"> <span class="tag">#tag here</span> </div> </footer>

Tags can contain links without any issues.

Image posts

You can add a main image to a section by putting it in front of the article-content element. It will separate the image from the rest of the "post" content like in a Tumblr image post. If you want inline images (i.e. the image is inside the box), you can just add them normally.

<section class="post">
<img src="IMAGE PATH" alt="ALT TEXT" class="postimage" />
<div class="article-content">
THIS IS WHERE YOUR TEXT ACTUALLY GOES
</div>
<footer class="article-footer"><div class="date">FOOTER</div></footer>
</section>

If you're still confused, the next post has the full enchilada (image and tags) as a demo.
