Zuckerbook

Goes really crazy actually. Basically the k8s bible. I hope to one day care about my future children like 1/28 of how much this guy cares about kubernetes

Strikes the perfect balance of tech policy discussion + “and Mark Zuckerberg was just there, being weird and pale” anecdotes. Really really really really good so far

I love you I love you I’ll kiss you on
The mouth!! Sylvia

Jesus fucking Christ btw

Cant stop thinking about how she was the smartest person in the world and we let her die….????

Lisa stans rise

Exactly the kind of dry, white, middle-class writing I would produce and therefore resonate with.

Not sure if I am into gay boys or want to become gay boys.

Someone on the bus looked at me like I could be microwaved and ready in 3 minutes whether or not I wanted to be !

I cried so hard in front of a random man in a bar that he gave me this and said he doesn’t care if he gets it back, I just need to read it. Gonna crack this baby open on the 10:30 bus home

This goes crazy. Surprise favorite so far is the essay about sleep / its relationship to fiction. What Women Know always slaps.

Instills a deep urge to read more Virginia Woolf and commit more androcide.

Al Gore was the answer fuck 😭😭😭 how could you guys let this happen

Men be like:

“bae I won’t go to havnor I swear 🥺”
*literally sails straight to havnor like a boss*👍🏻👍🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣

“I share the secrets of the King.And when he leaves me,he hides in the place of the ordure,
in foulness itself,and yet again in the vile place he waits for me to come and take him up and cleanse him as he cleansed me,so that each time we grow purer together…I am the one who shits moonlight.You will not know another such.And more than that, the King enters into my seed. He is my semen”

me abt White Claw SurgeTM

Ik this makes me an elitist or something but I simply cannot imagine being dumb enough to ban embryonic research in the name of “morals” or whatever I hate you people how do you even exist

Need to think about Tehanu for a bit before I do my review.

A note to the patron of Iowa City Public Library who checked out this book after me, so I cannot renew it immediately and will have to give it back this week: kys

Two Truths and a Lie, Tehanu Edition:

1. Ged loses his virginity at 53 years old.
2. Tenar raises a pirate, misogynist son who refuses to do the dishes.
3. The Master Patterner comes out as gay.

“Fear is the mind killer” but about men who abuse you is so much more valid than whatever tf they said it about in Dune

“We make up most of the differences [between men and women] and then complain about ‘em” so true anyway canonically horny Ged is not something I thought I would ever have to think about but here we are

RIP UKLG you’ve would’ve loved the Barbie movie
“I’m a man without power. Does that make me a woman?” (this is a joke don’t @ me)

Fr tho a sexy little story exploring the relationship between gender and power? Yes plsss

Dream blunt rotation LFG!!!!!!!!!

( Tehanu )

Goha is canonically Garnett Paltrow. The two things we know about her are that she has a “foreign name” that no one knows and her child is named Apple. I rest my case

“Instead of fear, then, great pity rose up in Arren, and if fear underlay it, it was not for himself, but for all people. For he saw the mother and child who had died together, and they were in the dark land together; but the child did not run, nor did it cry, and the mother did not hold it or ever look at it. And those who had died for love passed each other in the streets.”

Why tf would she say that jw

What an absolute genius. Got to be the best of all time. I have not been enamored with a book like this maybe since Harry Potter when I was 8. UKLG is the only one who deserves to use the English language; the rest of use should cut out our tongues and forfeit it. I feel so alive

if call me by your name took place in the ocean

I’m a sucker for a good foreword/afterword/extended edition/etc so you know I had to pick this bad boy up. Reading the prequel short stories and knowing what they are going to become (aka this whole series) is so neat and lowkey inspiring. Currently on The Farthest Shore (#3) and obsessed so far

This is absolutely cleaving my brain open I just had no fuckin idea about how technology intersects with politics apparently I feel dumb

Ged is so sexy. Am I a furry?

This shit is quite literally so fucking good I want it to go on forever if I had encountered UKLG while she was writing this I would have Misery-ed her and forced her to keep writing this story for ever and ever and ever amen

Realizing how little history ik and kind of embarrassed about it. What was school for
