I thought the point of this movie was to have lots of close-ups of Glen Powell in a cowboy hat

Oh I love the use of “soft DNF”—I do that all the time (I think of it as reshelving for another time) but I haven’t figured out a good way to talk about it

@bigbeardedbookseller.com I’d like to apologize for my gross misuse of the word “few” 🥲

My CR is Forest of Noise, so the author is definitely modern and the poems are deeply relevant to current events! I will check out vogue 316 though too! Thank you for the rec 💖

do you feel like children of time (book one) can be read as a standalone? I bought the first book for a book club but I didn’t end up reading it and now I’m feeling a bit unmotivated
