Kinda slaying

I finally finished another book, I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF!

Just unabashed inceldom all around. It is so fucking crazy what a man like Jordan Peterson can publish in a book. Men who don't get the girl are defeated lobsters or something, idk man...

I've been reading this book more slowly than usual because of corpohell and also trying to genuinely appreciate craft and text and like THIS BOOK IS SO WILD 😭😭😭😭 It's been a while since a book caused my jaw to drop left and right, and not from skepticism, but like genuine shock and horror. 😟 The vibe has been: RIP Emmett, lil bro just doing his bestest

SORRY TO ANYONE FOLLOWING ME!!! I'm just updating some books I didn't write reviews for in the past. Thanks for bearing with me <3

Unsurprisingly, still an absolute fucking drag. And now he's yappering about how great US military in Afghanistan is, which is awesome and so fun to read...

Oh, this book is as gloriously bad as I've seen it be made out to be. And it's awesome. My pet peeve has always been dual-POV books with little differentiation between how the perspectives sound. Guys, dual-POV books is a medium of writing in and of itself, you can't just do it so I can see sex from dick view and vagina view!!!

I really, really disagree with a lot of Obama's opinions! But it is pretty enlightening to see how he mobilised the people and ran a campaign of grassroots. I will not lie and pretend that I don't miss Obama-era politics— the energy and feeling that an individual could change the world. Obviously, it wasn't 100% true then either. But hope is hope. And that matters.

This is one of those moments where I'm grateful to have taken a creative non-fiction class. The writing has none of Michelle Obama's grace and is honestly just difficult (because of the consistent bracket breaks he loves so much). Like I get it, he's a well-travelled man of many experiences, but I think I agree with his self-deprecation here that a more skilled writer could lend some brevity to the work.

More fun classes!!!! I am very excited to move on from classes though I am getting Fatigued

I've spent a lot of time reading through the free rules but man, the player's handbook is where it's at! Every class seems so interesting 🤔 The possibilities of species and class mixes are awesome, and the backstory potential?! Thus far I've read barbarian and bard and I'm the type who's partial to magical characters, but I feel like some fun combos of barbarian x gnome / halfing seem like a good time :)
