taking a ux design class at uni + dont gaf about ux design personally + have to read this book written by a designer whose biggest opps so far are glass doors, his own watch, and his fridge and i am obsessed with it

"illusion of transparency"

on authors as devices

on an incipit of a book

"i contain multitudes!" (w.whitman)

–172. on written/unwritten

identity complexity

haha. HA

actually lowkey forgot how fast the training sequence ends in this series and how immediately we're on literal frontlines in a sieged city covered in english mud and facing death and starvation

on telephones and anxiety

on truth

on "arabian nights"

in the spirit of me studying to become an archivist as of this year i thought it fitting to slowly take up a reread of this series. oh how far we've come.

anyway. obsessed with the dario x jess "and they were roommates" situation

on the past and the whole

on authors and their true form

о нееет зачем открыла в два часа ночи блин теперь не могу остановиться ПОМОГИТЕ. кстати купила эту книжку когда она только-только вышла, и сериал пока не смотрела потому что гордость не позволяет — сначала книжка. НУ ВОТ МЫ ЗДЕСЬ

this takes place at a place called Valentine Academy for Boys and their crest is a pierced heart and their uniforms are red and dark blue. i am imagining it all as a Barbie dollhouse full of Kens. a Mojo-Dojo Casa House, if you will. i am enjoying myself

hi sorry first off i find it hilarious that Lomeli was renamed (to fuckin Thomas Lawrence) in the movie and seemingly everyone else was spared the name changing. idk why they did it im sure there was a reason maybe just cause Ralph Fiennes does not look italian enough (?) but its still so funny to me. also this does feel like reading an advanced burn book of sorts omg

feeling ambitious, upped my goal to 15 books (i bought four recently one of which is conclave by robert harris)
