Wow. Wowowow. Unfortunately, I have been online enough for this story to hit; if you have too and you’re not Bee then you have encountered Bee, just not as prolific. Even if I wasn’t that online omfg what a clever exploration of identity, solidarity, loneliness, social media, shitposting, so much. I’m so close to the end, I want to finish the book, but I need to sit with that.

FINALLY reading this while I wait for holds on two other books I was in the middle of
Tulathimutte writes the phrase "vitrified with outrage," which 1) sounds cool and 2) is cool. I didn't know what vitrified meant, so I looked it up--converted to glass, usually with heat. The phrase describes a character who is angry because his friend just read him down, and he refuses to see how they are right. Fun word!
