I love worldbuilding, material culture, history, wuxia, intersectional criticism, fictional moms, and tea. I'm currently studying Classical Chinese and I post the occasional translation. Sometimes I write SFF criticism and fanfic too.

I've had a couple of things by CM Wagoner on my TBR for a while (I've been struggling to engage with new fiction) but I hadn't heard of that one! It looks fun!

I was really pleased with the quality of comments that piece got! People said some really chewy and thoughtful things

I read it years ago and loved it, but also its pretty heavy and I'm not rereading it anytime soon

I regret not starting to study Chinese earlier, but also I'm so grateful for the tools we have today

That sounds frustrating!
Weirdly I like I like material culture history because it has less names and dates, but its also less like a story

I don't know if this helps but I don't read nonfiction for the facts, I read it for arguments
So like I love Empire of Style and I could tell you the main argument, but zero facts. (If I wanted to use it for fic reference I'd have to reread)

I spotted that quilt in the first picture I saw of her after I made this account, and it made me very happy to see that she still loves it. I hope she can come home soon!
