There is this speech in Steel Ball Run by the President of the United States.

It goes something like: when you sit at a round table, the seats are only apparently democratic. If you are the first to seize a napkin, be it on your left or on your right, you will be the one that decides what napkin all the other get.

I think often about this speech.

I surely thought about it this morning, when there were no places where to park my car, and I was in a hurry, and decided to park it anyway in a place where there *was* room to park and there *was* still room to go around my car in a safe way but decidedly there was *not* a diirect designation.

As i left my car, and took a last glance at it, and saw another person park directly behind me, I indeed thought "yes, seize the napkin"

My girlfriend, at dinner, unprompted: I want more Tsurumi in my life

So, some time ago someone (maybe even @pettyinpink) suggested some alternatives to goodreads

could you pass them to me again?

i'm not reading as much as i used to and I'd like a clean slateto track my reading

ideally something that works well with comics since i read more of them lately

Normal conversation with my girlfriend

Her: I’ve been reading this jayvik fic, it’s so, so really horny do you-
Me: does it have machine herald viktor?
Her: no but
Me: then I’m not reading that

No hate of course, they’re great but not reading anything with them UNLESS

Sometimes I think that the first major gay POV in the stormlight archive to be gay is also autistic AND a monsterfucker and think “well isn’t it a bit much?”

But then I think about the people I know and say well no actually that’s pretty realistic

not posting abt it much bc not reading it much bc not loving it much

sometimed it be like dat

My misery, for all to see:

My girlfriend texts me “I listened to a random ep of the Magnus archives. It was the one about the Piper? Most GK episode ever lol.”

So now I’m obviously relistening to it. And rethinking about my headcanon regarding a crossover, obviously.

I then read a comment that says “if you liked this episode you should read X book” which I am OBVIOUSLY CURRENTLY DOWNLOADING PLS KILL M-

The book is getting better

Also nonbinary pg apparently confirmed
