Play this on your boombox outside my window 💘💫💖 Call that jawn “whose?” 💅

#CurrentlyReading Saw this recommended a few times and found a book club trying to talk itnover so why not? Barely 100 pgs - the vibe of the prologue seems promising that I will be able to sleep tn, but trust I’ll be back here to confirm if it fucks me up lol

#CurrentlyReading 13 pages in and the line “good-person drag” took me out.

My cousin had a baby three/four weeks ago. Her husband gave an interview to HONY while waiting to commute home (and being social media-less, oblivious to who he was speaking to). Wanted to share it bc the way he talks about his newborn daughter is the sweetest: www.instagram.com/p/DGQexBwuAv...

#CurrentlyReading I didn’t want to touch this book for idk what reason - then I saw a tok that it’s about a guy dungeon crawling on live intergalactic tv in nothing but his underwear, crocs & a jacket with his cat, Princess Donut, who shoots laser beams out of her eyes. That set my soul aflame

#CurrentlyReading Idk what it was about Intermezzo but I needed a break. Def not a dnf, but how internal that book is watching these people deal with grief I needed a break. This book on the other hand? Omg it’s giving hxc severance vibes. I will be finishing this tn

Casual reminder: Remember when the apps on your phone were things like a “lighter" or acting like you were drinking beer or that talking tom cat thing? Everything apps were before apps became synonymous with "software"?

#CurrentlyReading The lack of quotation marks when a character is talking is throwing me so much that I’m struggling only one chapter in, but BookTok cannot stop recommending so we’re gunna power through

What setting do I need to adjust on my phone so I can share my precise location with Jupiter?

#CurrentlyReading Not usually a fan of westerns, but 1/2 thru & this has totally changed my opinion on them (think TCM if they were good & modernized). I knew after reading Trust last yr I wanted to read his 1st, but didn’t expect to be this absorbed by it. “Engrossing narrative” is an undersell

A large study of 30,000 adults diagnosed with ADHD in the U.K. found women with ADHD died roughly nine years younger than women without a diagnosis. Men had about a seven-year shorter lifespan.

Me, after seeing my niche interest does not have universal appeal at the function:

Me entering the function with my niche interest:

The first two chapters had me cringing to the point where I was like “ok should I DNF this?” And the third chapter (still made me cringe in the end iykyk) but convinced me the back cover reviews are 💯💯💯 Honestly a fantastic impulse buy

One things I’m gunna miss about #booktok is how spoon-fed it was. I could - w/o having to seek it out - not only get a book rec for me to save for later, but quickly compare to that creator’s other recs if I wanted to toss/save. Ironically, no txt-based app will be able to replicate this w/ ease.

I feel incredibly comfortable AI is not going to steal people’s jobs. At least not without utterly destroying the reputation of the org using it. This tweet alone is giving “we hired a boomer who isnt a journalist to generate AI imagines of boat life in downtown chi and write about it”

I feel like I’m being kicked while I’m down lmao why that screenshot?

Uhmmmmm did RF Kuang purposefully write this sentence like this in the chapter where the kids are studying etymology? If it wasn’t for that joke in Severance and googling that camera & camaraderie share the same latin root, I would have 100% missed this and it is 🤌💋 incredible INCREDIBLE writing.

12/10 | If you, like me, have never read Dorian Gray (or only read the censored, og-publication) I cannot recommend this ver enough. I skipped the intro bc it was getting spoiler-y and went back after; the context provided of Oscar Wilde’s life make the novel that much more prophetic & powerful 💔

The pro-tik tok ban argument is so embarrassing bc the crux of it is the influence social media has on our lives can be used by bad actors (China) to control our us, playing the perfect lap dog for the CEOs (who built the industry that way purpo$efully) using the govt to elim their competiton

Got to the chapter on Greed and literally “woah”d out loud. I have a million things to say about it, but s/o to the ppl on the internet confirming this written in 2000.

It’s always “i could never go hang gliding bc i’d be afraid of falling” and never “i’d be afraid if we just kept ascending and ended up in space”

Shrek is just Beauty & the Beast: The Remix

Truly baffled by the positive reviews of #RemarkablyBrightCreatures If your media diet exists exclusively of Secret Life of an American Teenager, 13 Reasons Why, and Hallmark Movies, then do I have a book for you (derogatory)

Before airpods/bluetooth headphones, Id buy cheap $15 ones - when I realized how often I was replacing them, I researched & bought good bluetooth ones instead. I refer to this every single time people are like “u got $” like - no I don’t & thats exactly why I saved and bought this instead.

Just started this book and already know it’s gunna slap bc of Rebecca Makkai’s commentary that people who use poppers for anything that isn’t sex are the most chaotic #TheGreatBelievers
