If I stay calm and behave myself, you'll reward me. That's how the system works. [...] The system always rewards good behaviour.

Bitter knew her name was heavy, but she hadn't minded, because it was honest.

"The drawing of eyeliner is as delicate and difficult a task as calligraphy or creating glyphs."

Truer words!

Anyway the trick to life is, if you don't like what is happening, go back to sleep until it stops.

Hi, all! Soo... after years of struggling to make my GR feed less of a chaotic, unintelligible mess, I came to the conclusion that the one thing left to do is to cull my friend list down to the folks I actually do interact with. I tried using the "top friends" feature but tbh I see no point in it? So, yeah, I'll be downsizing my friend list: no hard feelings, it's definitely a "it's not you, it's me" situation!

Starting the year with the comforting certainty that goodreads will glitch steadily throughout 2022 too 👌 At this point, I kind of admire the gall of calling something constantly malfunctioning an "unexpected error".

Cheers, everyone! Happy new year 😁

Hi, friends!

I'll be doing some much-needed revamping of my shelves these next few days - I did change my settings so as to be as unobtrusive as possible about it but (surprise surpriseeee!) GR isn't collaborating at all... which means it's likely your feeds will be flooded by... well, moi. I apologize in advance please don't hate me 😅

... Am I actually supposed to buy that these two dudes are in their late twenties? If Kade hadn't told us so in one of her frequent bits of exposition, I would have pegged them both as a couple of young, awkward teens.

Was there anything in life more pleasurable than the sensation of striking a dark line through an item on one’s list with a pencil? Yes. There was the visceral sensation of taking out one’s pencil and striking a dark line through the last item on one’s daily list.

CHLOE MY GIRL 💕

[...] superheroes, for all their good PR, were terrible for the world.

It needed to be said.
I mean, those costumes.

I discovered last night's winged eyeliner was in decent shape and could be repaired.

I KNOW THIS STORY WELL

"I'm different from all of them..."

No wait, I think I've heard this somewhere before? Mmm.

In her head, she kept going over the litany of Tony's faults: he drank too much, he was lazy, he ran drugs for Rudy. But his smile made her feel like she was flying.

Personally I would have added to the list of his shortcomings the multiple attempted homicides he just confessed to, but hey - so long as his smile makes you fly 👌

Agreed, Sister Faustina, nothing good has ever happened with a pope Pius on the throne - the absolute worst of the whole lot, those Pius(es).

And the moral of that is - "The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours."

🥱😴😴😴😪

"Is the whole freaking universe against us?" Muzibot screams, internally,
externally, and in all those dark recesses between.

So relatable, Muzibot. So very relatable.

Oh look, GR is glitchy as hell, quelle surprise
