Earthlings

Sayaka Murata
ALIXALIX

My two favorite things, anti-capitalist rhetoric and cannabalism combine in a weirdo thought experiment that is Earthlings by Sayaka Murata. Check trigger warning because this one's not pulling any punches.

Shit, Actually: The Definitive, 100% Objective Guide to Modern Cinema

Lindy West
ALIXALIX

Lindy West's insistence in her book Shit, Actually, that American Pie (a movie I was never allowed to see and don't regret skipping) is the stupidest movie ever made and gave the white patriarchal system a second wind, makes my teenage hood make sense.

It

Stephen King
ALIXALIX

Cult Classic

Sloane Crosley
ALIXALIX

Cult Classic by Sloane Crosley scratched all my itches. I love a high-concept story that lives without needing a giant character arc. Needing a character to have an earth-shattering revelation is a sign you are missing the subtleties in your life. https://t.co/kR8ucBmpnD
