@AndrewLeaming The writing in imaginary homelands is almost poetic at times. Also, that is very true. Allowing your mind to run free may help you come up with more ideas, but it’s important to be able to filter what comes to mind. #LUAWL
#LUAWL Never forget that writing is as close as we get to keeping a hold on the thousand and one things--childhood, certainties, cities, doubts, dreams, instants, phrases, parents, loves--that go on slipping , like sand, through our fingers. - Salman Rushdie, #ImaginaryHomelands
“The girl I saw was myself yet not quite myself. Long ago when I was a child and very lonely I tried to kiss her. But the glass was between us—hard, cold and misted over with my breath. Now they have taken everything away. What am I doing in this place and who am I?”

How Dan and Peachey looked after signing a contract to not get involved with the women of Kafiristan, and then immediately beginning to sexualize those same women and commenting on how “beautiful” and “exotic” they are 👀
When we realized that José Da Silvestra was a totally perv who created a map to represent a woman’s body, It made me 1. Uncomfortable and 2. All I could think of is how the queen of maps, Dora, would feel. #LUAWL
