Friends, it has been an absolute delight to be a part of this community for the past 9 years. I'm so grateful for the friends I've made, connected with, and reconnected with. I've made the difficult decision given current events to move to StoryGraph. You can find me on there at sometimesbryce. Sending everyone all the best bookish vibes as you navigate the future. I love you all. I really mean it. Thank you!

“You can prepare and prepare, but it’s the stuff you don’t anticipate that always throws you for a loop. And it always happens. You’re going about your day, and bam! An asteroid comes out of the blue, ruins your life. How are you supposed to live in a universe like that?”

“The universe is spinning apart: a pinwheel driven to the point of failure. Darkness and emptiness, and what matters still? The warmth of friends, the light of human kindness.”

Girl

Girllll

“When someone dies, where does the way they eat egg rolls go?”

“The more we live, the more we lose, the more we believe we are lost. The song says, if you remain elegant you will be found. It might take a while. You may have to chill in misery for longer than you feel is necessary. Hang in there and you will receive grace.”

OMG

“Senator Fulbright gave a speech on the floor of the senate and said of the late physicist, ‘Let us not only remember what his special genius did for us, let us also remember what we did to him.’”

One has to wonder in light of Monday, which era of America is it that so many are hungry to return to?

It’s difficult to understand the argument that science and its practitioners are somehow inherently good given how the third reich was weaponizing “science” at this exact time.
