ALICE IN WONDERLAND x BABEL

PhD fellow Guia has staked her research on myth as nothing but a political farce. But when Matthias comes for her, erstwhile figment of her childish imaginings, he tempts her with something she's rejected to be true: a parallel Manila. #questpit #W #F

In many ways, this does read personal essay collection than academic text, in which case, I'm reading it wrong. Funny. Ironic, even.

I generally like Castillo's writing, but I'm so confused by her insistence on using both Filipinx and Pinay. Confused not in a I-don't-get-it kinda way, more, is this meant to signify identity-as-FilAm writing specifically about FilAm experiences in a book about how to read?

I super appreciate FEATR in terms if introducing and reintroducing food anthropology to its viewers pero baka pwede namang mga hindi puro laking aircon ‘yung members ng team. We need anak ng may-ari ng karinderya, laking kusina sa lola sa probinsya, mga ganung perspective sana.

absolutely losing my mind that you have hundreds of international citizens who were been abducted, abused, some raped and tortured by Israel and… crickets in our news media. We are beyond “complicity” and ‘giving Israel impunity’ - its complete acquiescence and surrender.

I’d look at other people’s handwritings and just know I was a special girl meant for great things, like becoming a benevolent dictator.

My academic interests were formed because of my two favorite professors, bought a book because of Sally Rooney, take book recs from Sara. I’m human, of course, I would.

If I’m to speculate for a bit, part of why there’s been a global downturn for romcoms is because we live in a very ironic, very meta, very referential, very selfsame age. If all the romances are meta, it’ll become the new hallmark. Sincerity is required! Lean into the cringe
