take a hike

okay guys i am in an insane reading slump. is there a book that absolutely blew you away? please recommend it to me. i will read anything.

my fav 'i strongly suspect you are bisexual but whatever' podcaster went on my fav 'hello gay people' podcast...

wait did the gay firefighters go canon last night????

thinking about writing out an honest account of the pros & cons of being in union (spoiler: the pros win), what we have accomplished, how we did that, what sucked, advice to keep organizing, etc—would that be helpful to anyone? I feel like it’s easy to find info on how and why to organize but the the nuts and bolts of being in a union aren’t as widely discussed.

Thank god I see Manchester Orchestra tomorrow

how did I get anything done before Beyoncé released Renaissance?

how do I explain this. If I don’t care about something, anything related to it is boring. If I care about it, everything is interesting. No nuance.

just stupid vent under the cut

I miss Tana French Autumn (the autumn & winter I spent reading every single book she’s published via audiobook) so much 😭 I associate it so strongly with my old neighborhood. Living there was fine, definitely had its downsides, so I was happy to leave but now I miss it so much: it’s giant wooded parks, the northern flickers, the empty streets, the almost total darkness at night, the way walking my dog in the dark listening to these damaged Irish detectives ruin their own lives made me feel like the only person on earth. I miss the amber street lights, the twisting backyard trails, the way the air tasted when it snowed, the growl of the street racers as they tore through our neighborhood at 1 am. The coyote pack I’d see late at night and early in the morning. Blue grass night at the pub and movies at the theater six blocks away. Walking in the 85 acre wooded park and trying hard to get lost during In the Woods. Not a forest but not a park. Wilder than your regular suburbs. I think what I miss most about it was what I hated about it: the isolation, and the way that made the entire neighborhood feel like a liminal space at night.

ahhhh I want to see Sleep Token live so badly!!!!!!

damn I know first drafts are bad but why is mine so bad

i just think there is something SO fun about 'found manuscript' books. give me fake dissertations, editorial notes, footnotes, subplots in the footnotes (jordy rosenberg you will always be famous). i love it. i'm eating it with a spoon.
