Status Updates From The Sweet and Simple Kind

a joke about Nazis in frankly the most boring chapter of the book so far

also damn, at least Jane Austen knew to get to a point of some kind in the first couple of (very brief, actually) chapters

Sometimes I'm a vibes girlie and I was told the Jane Austen vibes would be on point (I even recognize similarities in plot summary to Mansfield Park).
