Yes!!! Could not be more happy about this!!!

The point of reading, especially good fiction, isn't retention. It has never been. It is empathy. It is exposure. It is bliss. It is humanity. It is to open up one's imagination to numerous worlds. Never retention. And that's the beauty of reading. I hope to read more this year.

The Kingdom of Kent no longer needs its castles for defence, so the ramparts are now patrolled by trees

breaking my silence: I enjoy The Oscars. even when it sucks. it’s like that family member you see once a year on holidays and sometimes they’re the worst but other times they’re an absolute hoot n’ holler and a half

Ray Bradbury said the goal of all his writing was to “nurture a medieval atmosphere in a modern, credulous world” and that’s what fantasy does: it re-enchants a world starved for meaning. I can think of no nobler purpose.

Now that everyone is in love with Glen Powell as a romantic lead, I must once again bring up Set It Up, one of our best modern romcoms ft incredible chemistry and pizza scene I think about far too often. Need him and Zoey Deutch to make at least 3 more romcoms together thanks

doing duolingo in a new language has reminded me of how much I hate immersion pedagogy. explain the rule to me! explain it to me or I will KILL YOU

thinking about how, in 2014, the pope released two doves in vatican square as a symbol of peace for ukraine. both doves were immediately and randomly killed in front of THOUSANDS of people, one by a seagull and one by a crow.

Me in middle school:

Obsessed with this baby. I'm pretty sure he'll never do anything wrong. I think he might obtain world peace. I don't want to burden him with impossible expectations, but I suspect he'll invent time travel by age 20. Maybe even solve the zodiac killer mystery.

My friend just had a baby yesterday and this is what he said about what it’s like

unfortunately taylor swift can do whatever she wants and i will remain tuned in because she wrote fearless at 17 and rewired my brain forever
