so anyway I’m apartment hunting right now and obviously having a terrible time. I feel like I’m fighting for the “privilege” of giving them more of my money than I can afford just so I don’t have to live out of my car. I hate it here.

End of rant. Please still support your local libraries, we need them now more than ever.

And don’t even get me started on the new design. It’s utilitarian and unwelcoming with nowhere to just sit and comfortably read. Between that and the time limit on parking, it’s like they just want to cycle people in and out. It’s giving hostile architecture.

“Self help” books are an automatic no for me. I’ve rarely come across one that didn’t just feel like a scam. I’m sure there are some good ones out there but I don’t have any plans of finding out.

This feels like too easy of an answer but my initial thought is just a retractor of some sort. It looks similar to some modern day ones that are used often for smaller or shallower incisions.

Thank you! I’m finishing up the last 50 or so pages of The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison and then switching the mood up with an easy fantasy read, Traitor’s Moon by Lynn Flewelling (#3 in the Nightrunner Series)

I get what you’re going for with this (though I highly disagree), but your phrasing is not it at all and comes across low key homophobic. What “isn’t for you”? The fact that two men can fall in love and have beautiful stories written about them? MM isn’t some passing booktok trope or someone’s “yum”

Anything by John Scalzi is generally a good time imo. And very different vibe, but The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer is one of my favorite SciFi reads of last year. Also, This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone is unique and incredible.

not too far off from how it’s done now honestly. instead of a “flap” it’s more of a small incision that the instruments used to break up the cataract are inserted through. but the general idea hasn’t changed much! though the anesthetic techniques have likely improved a ton since then. super cool!

so glad I’m not alone 😅

same! if I added every book I start to my “currently reading” list it would be 30 books long at least. 😅
