sometimes it feels like being nonbinary is about having to decide which way you'd prefer to be misgendered.

Especially if you live in a country that has a gendered language... I can't even gender myself correctly because that's just not a feature my native language has

obsessed with mass market paperbacks. their pleasing rectangular proportions. how they fit badly in a hoodie pocket so you can drag them around everywhere with you like a temporary little buddy. the way they fit in your hand because they're MADE for human hands and not as bookshelf decoration. the way the pages feel when you riffle them gently with your thumb. How pristine and crisp they look when you get them and how creased and folded they look when you're done, even if you try to be nice to them. how that wear is okay, how that's correct actually, because they're made with the philosophy that books aren't meant to be PRETTY, they're meant to be read. that little ripple new ones get on the left side from where you hold them when you're reading, the way the ripple only goes as far as you've read, because u change stories by reading as they are changing you. how you can find thousands of these creased and folded and loved little dudes in every thrift store and used book shop and neighborhood library and you can instantly see the ones that someone carried around in a backpack for weeks or read to pieces or gave up on halfway through because they wear being read like fresh snow wears footprints. I love these poorly made, subpar little rectangles so much. truly the people's books.

Over here in Germany our bookstores have started setting up tables with the books currently being banned in the US. I'm making it my mission to read them all.

Rilke, my boy! I didn't know that quote but I really like it because it represents growth so well

Lil man got the equivalent of a baby falling asleep at home and waking up in the grocery store, except it's a whole ass climate zone

reblog if it’s totally chill for your mutuals to slide into your DMs and start a random convo just to vibe and maybe become friends 💬✨

I never like it when adaptations don't portray Victor Frankenstein as a college student. I think there's a very particular type of mental state that you can only get from being a sleep-deprived, overworked college student that makes Frankenstein make sense. Grave-robbing? Stitching together a giant monster? Performing questionable experiments? Avoiding his problems by constantly fainting? Yeah, I probably did some stuff like that last semester, I don't remember
