   Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  bookjunkie57 | May 11, 2024 |    ) deborahee | Feb 23, 2024 | I loved insight into Quinta’s life and mind. Some chapters are super funny like when a high-school-Quinta and her friend went to a store to buy some razors for a fight or very sobering like the chapter on a family member of hers being murdered and how isolating it felt to experience that. The collection ends with some 2020-centric essays discussing the pandemic, George Floyd, Americans panic-buying, etc. Overall, a very fitting collection! “Telling [tragic] stories that do not result in action turns those stories into entertainment” (235).(  ) DestDest | Nov 28, 2023 | Quotes Ultimately, the ever-happening change in communication shows that we're all always working on new ways to connect. (26) Does a like replace a lunch? If you're lucky enough to have multiple close friends, even if they aren't lifelong ones, what are you doing to show that you value those people? (57) ...I realized that love, in any form, needed to feel like the freedom to be me, the all-in version of me, without any fear of what others would think. (105) Materialism, advertising, and consumerism [MAC]...releases a toxic energy that infects the brains of strong but vulnerable people. It can take a confident person and boil them in self-doubt. It corrodes their common sense and decision-making skills, telling them they need to buy more to feel better. (178) What a delightful experience to watch without expectation! (193) From my years of social media usage, I've learned that when massive conversations get limited to a small amount of characters, the communication tools can often become more dangerous than helpful. (219) Telling stories that do not result in action turns those stories into entertainment. (235) ...in reflecting on our influences, we figure out a lot about who we would like to be in the future.

HTML: "In She Memes Well, Quinta gives more than a peek behind the curtain. She invites us in, lets us poke around and offers a balm for our aching souls. She moves beyond the jokes into something much deeper, something we may not recognize we need. She is the friend, sister, lover, cool co-worker we all wished we had."??Gabrielle Union, actress and New York Times bestselling author of We're Going to Need More Wine From comedian Quinta Brunson (creator and star of Abbott Elementary) comes a deeply personal and funny collection of essays about trying to make it when you're struggling, the importance of staying true to your roots, and how she's redefined humor online. Quinta Brunson is a master at breaking the internet. Before having any traditional background in media, her humorous videos were the first to go viral on Instagram's platform. From there, Brunson's wryly observant POV helped cement her status in the comedy world at large, with roles on HBO, Netflix, ABC, Adult Swim, BuzzFeed, the CW, and Comedy Central. Now, Brunson is bringing her comedic chops to the page in She Memes Well, an earnest, laugh-out-loud collection about this unusual road to notoriety. In her debut essay collection, Quinta applies her trademark humor and heart to discuss what it was like to go from a girl who loved the World Wide Web to a girl whose face launched a thousand memes. With anecdotes that range from the ridiculous??like the time she decided to go clubbing wearing an outfit she describes as "Gary Coleman meets metrosexual pirate"??to more heartfelt material about her struggles with depression, Quinta's voice is entirely authentic and eminently readable. With its intimate tone and hilarious moments, She Memes Well will make you feel as if you're sitting down with your chillest, funniest fri Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
