why not

it’s fine but i could have sworn that neil gaiman was fruity and now that i know he isn’t i’m less interested

“Many Theresas [of Avila] have been born who found for themselves no epic life wherein there was a constant unfolding of far-resonant action; perhaps only a life of mistakes, the offspring of a certain spiritual grandeur ill-matched with the meanness of opportunity; perhaps a tragic failure which found no sacred poet and sank unwept into oblivion.”

😦 this is gonna be good

“Of course I know in my brain that everything we tell ourselves about human civilization is a lie. But imagine having to find out in real life.”

enjoying more than i expected, given the mixed reviews (compared to CWF and NP, at least)

thinking about how at the va classics convention we had to wear togas in order to eat dinner and i feel like any of this could have happened in an empty room or could have been on the schedule for attendees

okay…….this is making me feel romantic about my six years of latin class which is something i didn’t think was possible. also, this is about fascism, right?

🫢

not as entertaining as shara wheeler so far. i don’t usually read romance so i’m thinking maybe i liked shara wheeler so much is bc it’s like a murder mystery without the murder (a mystery)

i heard this book will make me fall in love with life so i’m trying it, stay tuned

“Having an automobile is like having your own woman. They’re a terrible expense and give you a lot of worry, but once you’ve had one, you’ll never want to be without one” (36).

this is a trip

i'm so tired 🥲

ugh

very gay so far

"What we see in this case, and in many instances of violence against gender-nonconforming and transpeople, is that violence justifies itself by characterizing non-normative gender as itself a violent act of aggression and reading the expression of gender identity as itself a sexual act."

uggggghhhhhhh
