"He detested Alfonso Reyes with a tenacity worthy of a nobler enterprise." ⭐️ I've been obsessed with Roberto Bolaño for a while now, but am especially excited about this, my new favorite sentence, as I too am prone to detesting things with tenacity worthy of nobler enterprises. ⭐️ #booksky #bolaño

If you know, you don't just know ~ if you know, you snorted, you choked on your beverage a little, you might have been at mild risk of peeing yourself 🔥 (subtitled: once upon a time a russian major) #booksky #rabihalameddinegroupies

Turkish food, American groceries: Combine something white and crumbly with parsley, roll it up in triangular phyllo sheets (Kirkwood Intn'l Market, St. Louis), fry them in a pan of oil, refuse to further acknowledge the social construct called "recipes" 🌱 #veganfood #veganturkish #sigaraböreği

Incoming mail: Arranged a vegan snack swap with a German pen pal while I'm in St. Louis, because the Turkish postal system would charge hundreds of lira in customs fees to receive this but the US postal system is pleasantly apathetic 🤷♀️ #veganfood #veganjunkfood #notveganforhealth 🌱 #snailmail4eva

On vacation in STL, discovering a vegan deli in Bevo Mill! I thought the prices were a bit high (I'm Turkish, I'm poor 🤷♀️) but then received a sandwich (Chicago Italian beef) the length of two hands that took me ages to finish. Amazing cost-per-unit value 🌱 #veganfood #veganstlouis
