ngl, it feels weird to be doing any kind of 'business as usual' rn and every day brings a new existential crisis but one of the few things that have kept me going are stories & the amazing writers i get to work with, so i'm excited for more πŸ–€

ok last non-fiction #mswl for now: increasingly i am made aware of how deeply capitalism influences and infiltrates our lives, in big and small ways. i would love to keep exploring that and hearing about other ways we could imagine our lives, please!

non-fiction #mswl continued:
-topics within mental health and how the societies we live in affect it πŸ‘€

-biographies of women from history, whether ones who were ignored/forgotten or maybe a revised look at a known figure!!! esp written by fellow women!

ok, some non-fiction #mswl!

truth is, i'm a nerd on a futile quest to learn everything, ever, but some topics/areas i often gravitate towards:
-pop culture & what it says about us/the times we're living in

-deep dives into cultural history of <topic/thing>

i was surprised by how much i enjoyed bridgerton s2 because i'm not really into historical fiction so: if it got similar vibes to kathony, both as a couple but also individually, and it's not necessarily historical*?? #mswl

*i might be flexible w like the 20th century lol

i don't know what's going on here but i'm drawn to novels ft a house/setting that maybe possibly wants to kill you/its inhabitants or maybe one that just keeps messing with them. if this is exploring some forgotten history/wrongs/etc?? *chef's kiss* #mswl

Hana E @hel_no_wai

happy weekend, y'all! thanks for the warm reception to this πŸ’•

now that i've shared all the ~official info and links, join me as i share my #mswl in its purest format: a chaotic twitter thread (while we can still tweet lol), gifs, and tiktoks!!!!! pic.twitter.com/k1vLtlXECe

i've been thinking about it for 2 months so it's only fitting to start here: the scene in wakanda forever where namor says to [redacted] 'let's burn the world together'? i want the version where [redacted] says 'bet' and all the messy *nuanced* consequences that follow!! #mswl
