sooooooo frustrating that paperbacks aren't the immediate release. i want a physical of everything must go but i refuse to annotate a hardcover :/

related: that book is so interesting already--chock full of references (in my case, recommendations) and wonderfully written, engaging conversation on The Eternal End Times. love it <3

god, this guy is insufferable. arrogant, self-aggrandizing, cocky, and just plain annoying to read from. at this point i just can't wait to see him get caught.

this is gonna sound weird, but i'm getting a similar feeling to when i was watching succession for the first time, in the early seasons. i find it hard to believe it'll be anywhere near as affecting; it's that emotionally invested ethically confusing dread-sick feeling but Worse Because They're Kids

"i tend to think the saddest and most desolate things are also the most beautiful, he would later write. i realize now this is not a passive tendency. i plot my own sadness in the interest of this beauty. whether this is a coping mechanism or what dr. apple calls 'self-sabotage' i don't know. i am sad all the time and there is a magic to it."
