I should be rereading annihilation but I’m sure it’ll be fine

But yk like 160 because of the 30 page intro

The intro was 30 pages so technically I’m on page 30 right

“We put poison out for rats and protest their use as laboratory animals. We shoot deer in the fall and show their adorable offspring to our children in spring. Vertebrate pests lay bare our internal hypocrisy.”

“Why did Nikolai have to live in this time. All he wanted was a quiet place. Somewhere between all the events of history—the war and butchery, the revolutions that smeared cobblestones streets with blood, the religious fanaticism, the burning of cities—there must have been so many quiet times, so many safe places. Gaps where one could hide an entire life.”

"When a brown hare senses a fox stalking it, it does not run. It stands tall and faces its pursuer. The fox then knows it has no chance of catching the hare. This saves both the danger of a pointless chase.
In the animal world, cooperation can even exist between predator and prey.

In our human world, the predator will pursue its prey until both are destroyed in fury."

Expectations high

I started reading and realized I was reading things I’d already read. Idk. Redacted.

Actually have no clue what’s happening, don’t recommend this to your bookclub (but I’m still into it even though I’m quite confuzzled)

Playing “homeless” as a child instead of “house” is crazy work

1 instance of unprompted ear licking is already too many times.

Home stretch

This book is tea

So I started the show. Despite the gross CIS MALE casting, he’s got the narrative voice down and the cast is lovely and diverse. Anyways I dislike that we are back in infected planet territory

Murder mystery sign me up

Back on that bot grind

If I had a nickel for every time someone crawls into a buffalo carcass I’d have two nickels. And that’s too many probably

Moral of the story: be nice to beavers.

Good

Prepared to have my mind blown but also be very confused!

Just found out they are adapting murderbot into a show and casted a CIS MAN?! Will not watch

Miki mention brb crying

🕺 murderbot and me also when there’s free time to watch tv

I’m not sure I really know what’s going on. But bees!!
