30s, Family Physician/Public Health practitioner. This is my mastodon stan/alt acct. 🇵🇭. She/Her. I have another mastodon acct in another server for serious stuff. I rant a lot, mostly vague. I love stories.

Some posts are auto-deleted every 6 mos. Putting AltText on an image/gif/video increases the chances I will boost a post.

People are furious that Dune (movie) is appropriating Middle Eastern culture.

PSA: The book is a metaphor on Middle Eastern culture and politics. 😅 It is a critique on the “white savior complex”, a story about colonization.

Can’t believe that some Filipinos actually think that a Marcos president is the “lesser evil”.

What the hell, people??????

Marcos and Duterte presidents are the same level of evil. I’d argue that Marcos is still worse because the effects of what they did lingered for decades..

It is always a nice surprise whenever a post from more than 3 months ago still gets a like.

I think this is a peculiar fedi feature 😊

Horrified with all my expenses this week.

Dapat tipid kasi libre food at accommodation. Pero dahil di masarap yung pagkain, puro eat out kaya magastos. Dagdag pa yung mga kasamang mahilig gumala. 😩😅

There was a poll that stated—Rowling’s opening line in the HP series is one of best in the world. Someone posted about how there are a bunch of other opening statements that are better.

Here’s one of my personal favorites, from Gabriel Garcia Marquez (English translated):
“It is inevitable. The scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.”

What are some of your favorite opening lines in literature? 😊

@phoenixashes76 @ukaunz @bookstodon Terry Pratchett’s opening lines always a BANGER!

(Confession: I should read more Terry Pratchett)

@bookstodon So many great responses and amazing opening lines 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Another favorite from CS Lewis:

“There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it.”

@diazona @arisu_m @bookstodon That opening line from Hitchhiker’s Guide is so on-point to the existential dread I’m feeling now 😂

@bookstodon I should have also labelled this thread as:

“Words I wish I had written myself”

😂

@bookstodon I am going to write everything on this thread in my commonplace notebook 🥹

MIBF Book Haul to make me happy on this manic monday!

A relatively smaller haul from my last trip to the book fair in 2019.
