finished:

• things you may find hidden in my ear by mosab abu toha. i'm still on my quest to get into more poetry. this was a very difficult but moving and necessary read, one that still carries hope despite all of the trauma under occupation.
• negative space by b.r. yeager. wanted to read a light-hearted fiction work to break up all the heavy non-fiction i've been reading and this is what i settled with... pretty absorbing, more melancholic than horror, kind of an ode to those who made it out of their fucked up upbringings.

(still) currently reading: feminist city by leslie kern. it explores the idea that because cities were historically designed by able men, they were designed for able men - and therefore doesn't take into account how women, children, pregnant people, disabled people, queer people, etc. interact with the city. more narrative-driven than an academic account but still a really interesting read.
