Storygraph is a Black woman–owned app that's like GoodReads but not part of Amazon just FYI 😁

(Nothing to do with this book. Just a thought to share with my GoodReads friends.)

I want to live at Cooper's Chase.

"She could even be called a hero.
"Just for one day."

"There's a kind of beauty in accepting the possibility, if not the plausibility, of everything imaginable."

"What it means to be alive is 'to live in a world that is filled with significant places: to be human is to have and know _your_ place.'" (quoting Edward Relph)

The chapter "I Have a Sleep Disorder and It's Probably Going to Kill Me or Someone Else" is upsettingly relatable and I should probably make every potential partner read it to weed out the ones who can't deal.

"In crisis situations, people who cannot rely on past general rules about how their world works must reconsider their cultural and material resources and intentionally make their way."

Why does Rhysand sound like Batman in this audiobook?

Telegonus is why I never want children. 😫😤

Oh this is lovely.

Chapter 7: Crowds is a great analysis of the differences between a successful crowdsourced endeavor such as Wikipedia and the cesspool of other crowdsourced content, like unmoderated message boards.

there will always be a death
dressed as a question,
waiting alone in that godforsaken dark.
