Even if the books were terrible the fact Sally Rooney isn’t called Persephone, isn’t from London, didn’t go to private school on the sly and doesn’t have a daddy who’s an investment banker would probs be enough for me lol

Also, this is probably crazy but maybe Sally Rooney is so successful because she doesn’t waste her time writing reviews like this? Just a thought

The uk basically doesn't do gynaecology, rates of say incontinence in women who've been pregnant are astoundingly high compared to other similar countries. If transphobes are so obsessed with vaginas why don't they direct their attentions there instead my god!

All creative industries have been completely warped by the fact that very rich people gravitate towards them, it is not normal for parents to pay rent to subsidise a vanity career well into late 20s even if all your peers are doing it! It’s not unfair if this doesn’t happen!

The ‘trans debate’ isn’t a debate and it should never be discussed as if it is one. It’s an incredibly vocal minority using fake claims, non science and, like, their feelings to scare monger about a group of people’s right to exist
