Right in the Fucking Feels

“The internet is public space, real space; it’s increasingly where we interact socially, do our work, organize our lives and engage with politics, and violence online is real violence. The hatred of women in public spaces online is reaching epidemic levels and it’s time to end the pretense that it’s either acceptable or inevitable.”

House of Leaves affected me really deeply. I read it in the two weeks after my brother died. I would read it every night and then get drunk. It started to make my depression worse. I played around one night, blind drunk, sticking the barrel of my shotgun against different parts of my head. The book deepened my depression, but I kept reading, and as the book transformed from a black story to a white story, or at least a gray story, it began to help me cope. I read it once a year.
