Engine Empire is a trilogy of lyric and narrative poems that evoke an array of genres and voices, from Western ballads to sonnets about industrialized China to fragmented lyric poems set in the future. Through three distinct yet interconnected sequences, Cathy Park Hong explores the collective consciousness of fictionalized boomtowns in order to explore the myth of prosperity. The first sequence, called "Ballad of Our Jim," draws inspiration from the Old West and follows a band of outlaw fortune seekers who travel to a California mining town during the 1800s. In the second sequence, "Shangdu, My Artful Boomtown " a fictional industrialized boomtown draws its inspiration from present-day Shenzhen, China. The third and last section, "The World Cloud," is set in the far future and tracks how individual consciousness breaks up when everything--books, our private memories--becomes immediately accessible data. One of our most startlingly original poets, Hong draws together individual voices at odds with the world, voices that sing their wonder and terror.Binding Type: Paperback

Budget Peptides That Make My Skin Look Way More Awake Than I Feel
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
There’s a very specific moment that hits sometime in your 30s and 40s where you lean into the mirror and think…
“Wait. Have those lines always been there… or did they just clock in overnight?”
That’s when I officially entered my “okay fine, let’s take anti-aging seriously” era.
Nothing dramatic. I’m not trying to freeze my face in time. I just want my skin to look hydrated, bouncy, and slightly less “I stayed up too late editing videos again.”
So I started looking into peptides because every skincare nerd on the internet swears by them. The problem? Most peptide serums cost like $40–$80 and my wallet simply laughed.
Then I found this Good Molecules Super Peptide Serum for around $12 and thought… suspicious. But also, add to cart.
First thing I love about this brand in general: they’re weirdly transparent. They actually list ingredient percentages. That shouldn’t feel revolutionary, but in skincare it kind of is. It makes me feel like they’re not just sprinkling fairy dust and calling it “peptide complex.”
The texture is super lightweight and water-based. Basically disappears into your skin in seconds. No stickiness, no heaviness, no weird film.
It layers beautifully too. I pat it on, wait like 20–30 seconds, then go in with moisturizer and sunscreen without anything pilling up. Zero drama.
After a couple weeks, I started noticing my skin just looked… healthier.
Not tighter like I got work done. Just smoother and a little plumper. That soft, hydrated look where fine lines aren’t screaming at you as much.
Especially around my smile lines and forehead. They’re still there because, you know, I’m a human who laughs and exists. But they look softer and less pronounced.
My skin also feels more “springy,” if that makes sense. Like when you press your cheek and it bounces back instead of just staying tired.
And it’s gentle. No stinging, no redness, no breakouts. I use it morning and night without even thinking about it.
If I had to nitpick anything, it’s not an overnight miracle. It’s more of a slow-and-steady improvement situation. But honestly, that’s how most good skincare works anyway.
For $12 though? It feels kind of ridiculous how well it performs. I’ve tried serums triple the price that did less.
Final thoughts:
If you want to dip your toes into peptides without committing your entire paycheck, this is such an easy yes. Lightweight, effective, and refreshingly honest about what’s actually inside. It’s one of those quiet, reliable products that just makes your skin look better over time. Which is exactly what I want.

I think I'll grab another bottle of this.
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Works fine I believe this gives my argireline & matrixyl 3000 along with copper peptides a really good boost actually, I wasn't that impressed at first but now I've been using it a while I can tell it's been helping .
It's NOT greasy at all and absorbes really fast and well.
I've noticed some of my wrinkles have deminished and some have softened a great bit.
It's semi thick but not where it's sticky or tacky. Just enough that it doesn't feel or look like water. Which is great consistency.
I've noticed my darker spots and skin has brightened up a good bit where I had more skin issues from the sun has lightened up but this also could be a number of products that I am using. But I do believe this one has been helping a good bit with my others. I'd get this again

Amazing!
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this product. I use it daily in the AM and PM and it's a staple in my skin care routine. Glides on, absorbs quickly, noticeable difference in fine lines, much better (and more affordable) than other name brands I have tried.
