About this site
I’m Brittany.. also affectionately known in virtual spaces as bookish millennial.
My page has book reviews (most genres) & content about reading, libraries, local bookstores, & intersectionality, as everything *is* connected.
To gauge your expectations, these are my values:
-anti AI; I’m begging you to stop using it
-anti capitalism & antifascism
-anti racist
-abolitionist & intersectional feminist
-pro trans, immigrant, brown, Black, queer, science, choice, CRITICAL THINKING & BASELINE LEVEL HUMAN EMPATHY
-free Palestine, Congo, Sudan… LAND BACK!
-I do NOT believe safe spaces exist, but I DO encourage brave, accountable spaces & call ins (1:1 dialogues over call outs/passive aggressive sub-tweeting)
-NOT a perfect ally or activist, but I’m a lifelong learner
I lead The Diverse Baseline reading challenge, Bookish Millennials Book Club (hosted on Storygraph, we meet via video call on Discord), Steamy Lit Reading Rainbow Book Club (Zoom), & SF Bay Area chapter of Cassie’s Walking Club. I have curated book rec lists on Bookshop.org & Libro.fm. I have mutual aid lists, & this is all in my linktree.
I’m Filipina, Chinese, bi, demi, neurodivergent, chronically ill, & an insufferable Virgo & dog mom. I lean towards unpacking nuance, abandoning binaries, seeking understanding, & holding onto hope. Consuming media doesn’t help me “escape” the world, but it sure does help me live in & make sense of it.
Above all, I’m happy you’re reading or curious about reading. We need more humans intentionally engaging with their media, which has larger implications about how we engage with everything else. I’m rooting for us baby!
I’m glad you’re here, not just on my website, but on Earth, because I recognize it’s a hard place to be. I’m always rooting for us. Thank you for subscribing & following along.
Let’s keep connecting <3
