Take a gamble on Submarines, an episodic novel about a millennial fuckup in a deadend job who bets on baseball and doesn’t ever know what he’s doing. If you know @mikeandrelczyk.bsky.social you probably don’t need much convincing but trust me it’s good!

had a dream my cat was hanging around outside a community college and wouldn’t let me take her home. She looked wild and she’d hiss when I tried to approach her. In the dream it was bc of the food I’d been feeding her. The next day I came back and she was still feisty but let me take her back home
