I like that I can just throw random shelf stuff together these days and it makes my life better not worse to eat it

Aragorn's favorite subjects: - you hobbits are weak and careless. You need Strider. You'd die without me - I only keep important secrets from you for your own good - God, I look terrible. No, I do

I know this is technically from tomorrow's part, but when Septimus talks about how terrible it is to see a dog become a man, "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" was my immediate and only thought 💐 youtu.be/6gCj62KHG0g?...

Maybe basic, but during the whole part in chapter 1 when everyone is doing tasks and looking at the queen, I kept thinking of the verses of "Penny Lane"

"an extraordinary summer--all letters, scenes, telegrams." I'm really into the way everyone's immoderate past selves haunt the staid present! This contrast between the vividness of crisis and the warmth of Clarissa's functioning daily reality (Peter and Septimus maybe live in crises still.) 💐

Probably not an awful idea (I have read other pynchon before and am pre-braced for stuff, but might be good to have a little warning!)

I'm really unsure, but I think that's basically how I read it? I was thinking of a weird "eternal feminine"/anima thing, where he needs to see a female spirit in the world.

hot take: high fantasy has become too much about wonky palace intrigue and eldritch spectacle. i just want a series of three books where decent folks walk to maybe 15-20 places and describe how they camp, sleep, and eat at each, plus poems in a fake language

I started rereading Lord of the Rings just bc it is something I've read many times before and it's better to do that at 4 AM than think terrible things. But I forgot just how weird it is, esp how much of it is dedicated to lush travel writing about what it is like to walk at different times of day??

I love how just _extra_ Clarissa and Peter each are, in very different ways. I love also learning, in passing, that Peter Walsh hates the moon? 🌙 👎💐

Kinds of Kindness review: (1) not enough hunter Schafer (2) Emma Stone is amazing (3) what is the director's problem with dogs? (4) I know it is not metal to want trigger warnings but I kinda did. The middle story is grody; the final story is so deeply sad

I'm compelled by the kiss with Sally Seton and Clarissa's holds-the-world-together selfie face both being compared to diamonds! I'm also really compelled by the idea that one is good to other people by trying "to be the same always, never showing a sign of all the other sides of her."💐

What is it like to have Gandalf as your houseguest for two months. He probably cooks weird shit at weird hours. Big reeking cloaks and wizard socks stinking up the drying rack.

I know this is not going to happen but I really am curious about how people would react to this narrative being floated? Like specifically does something like this feel more or less democratic than the current terrible "TOO BAD, you HATE the sick old man but HAVE TO VOTE FOR HIM OR ELSE" narrative??

i mean of course this won't happen! i'm more fascinated by the idea that it's unthinkable to have an option that's like "okay you got me, i'm ancient, i will serve for let's say 300 days, gradually cede more power to my successor, then cede the rest." we have to decline only in four year intervals!

independent of the genocide he is enabling obviously! i just keep being frustrated by the "HE MUST DROP OUT" and "HE MUST STAY" narratives. neither respects the actual nature of time and process. i think leaning into a "our king chooses to die to fructify the land" ritual is, as ever, underrated

i'm dumb but i keep wanting a middle way. i feel like there is some possible narrative: - yes biden is old but he can still do it, FOR NOW - when he can't it anymore? maybe even soon?? he pledges to take the 25th, pass torch to KH - for now, they will be more of a dyad idk-- how would you react??

It is weird, but I *love* that she has weird reading tastes that she avoids her husband to indulge in. When the candle is half burning? When the Baron Marbot beckons from the night table? That is *Clarissa time.* 💐

Okay I was today years old when I realized that JRR Tolkien 's house probably wasn't, like Bilbo's, weirdly dug into a mountain with round windows and doors. He probably just lived in a normal house in Oxford that is above ground, even though this is not what I have imagined for the past 33 years.
