SONTAG YES!! I think she’s such a great starting point for so many fields of study! On photography, Illness and its metaphors, so so so good! Also big fan of Wolfe’s “A Room of Ones Own” for any writer or creative :)

tavovargas.dng :

Hear me out I know this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but Mirror Stage by Lacan is not only in line but imho informed even a few of these essays and is a solid exploration of misrecognition (metaphorically) in a way I haven’t seen many others

ren :

not to sound like a stalker, but i noticed the like recipe video and was wondering if you have any recs for vegan/animal lib theory (outside of the 2 books ive read which are This is Vegan Propaganda and Think Like a Vegan, and a book i havent read which is Animal Liberation)?
