@rascalking awesome. awesome book, autocorrect.
so I just finished SEVEN SURRENDERS (ain't book, btw) and Bioshock and Dark Matter within the space of a few days. I'm in this weird spot where I have piles of new stuff to pick up, but I can't decide which one, and I kinda want to just reread a bunch of stuff I've read a bajillion times.

I bet I can customize your Mastodon instance.
it's frustrating not having free time to myself, and not being able to just go do something, but damn if most days the kids don't make that a tradeoff i'm happy to make.
and a day later, despite someone explicitly reply-alling to beg people to quit doing it. i'm still getting replies to that goddamned thread.
