This is 108 pages so like, reading slump breaker of chains. Anyway, this is great to read at the same time as someone else because itās really fun to talk about all the hypotheticals that it leads to. My non-reader boyfriend read it in an hour and a half.
Click the link to take you to an online version of the library of babel (youāll see.) Enjoy the existential crisis as you realize everything thatās been said or ever will be said has been written already.
Heās also making his own version of hell in video game format in the form of a rhythm game if anyone is interested in that after š

Blew threw this in an afternoon, but it left me utterly lost at just HOW vast Borges' Library of Babel would actually be. Great little intermission between PI.FYI BKCLB books.

šThis book is 110 page long existential crisis- in a good way! I think about it once a week, and has become my Roman Empire.

i read this book in early 2022. i saw it on tiktok. im admittedly not a huge reader, and books i do read seriously have to surprise me to keep me entertained. im the same with movies.
i spent months trying to track down a physical copy of this book. tiktok would never reveal too much, it really just appeared in haul videos and the comments would talk about it like a secret club. i wanted in.
i eventually gave up and read it on my phone. i wish i waited.
things have gotten worse since we last spoke is hard to explain. its the most pathetic, entrancing, and unforeseen story i have ever read. i sincerely hope someone has read this and recommends me something even more insane because ive been chasing this high ever since i read it.
the story is told over a length chatlogs shared between two women (more points for lesbians). i dont want to say much because half of the thrill of this book is discovering whats really behind those fucking emails but its a basically psychological thriller romance. dark psychological thriller romance with body horror elements but thats all im telling.
my favorite sentence ever is in from book. what have you done today to deserve your eyes? i think about it once a day. its my bio for like everything.
seriously, read this if your into the macabre. especially gay body horror stuff.

ā„ļøsincere posting look away if ur not a lovestruck fool
sometimes i look at this man with so much love in my heart it feels like butterflies again. i have best friends, of course. i love them so much and they will be in my life forever. but in these moments iām struck with the thought āyou are truly my best friend.ā in past relationships, iād try to force that feeling. now, it really does just occur to me. i get so excited for forever with him. most days, itās not like this. most days weāre just together and thereās no stress or worry about our relationship. weāre just two people together, happy and thatās that. i am so used to this kind of love, itās become my normal. but some days, i am struck by how in love i am and how lucky i am. the first time i realized this was forever, a part of me felt weird about that. i had to say goodbye to the part of me that loved first dates, first kisses, and the āwill they wonāt they.ā Forever was always what I was looking for, but when presented with it, I worried about never feeling that way again.
Anyway, I donāt get first date feelings now, and Iāll never kiss someone new. But this feeling is so much better. Heās asleep right now, and I cannot wait for him to wake up so I can spend another day laughing with him.

āI cannot help being a panopticon unto myself so I am documenting every time I cry in 2024 and I have an emoji based system for the cause. I also include the title of the media thatās made me cry.

Gifts for my partner - things he mentions throughout the year off handedly.
Monarchs/monarch adjacent people I am interested in learning more about from my English/French/Scottish monarch fascination earlier this year.

A list of people my best friend and I predict will die in 2023 and 2024. I won last year.

š¹order a dark n stormy at the bar. it is the off putting perfume of cocktails. itās delicious and not too sweet or too bitter. itās the perfect balance.
occasionally the bartender doesnāt know what it is. but thatās okay because itās just a moscow mule with dark rum (not spiced) instead of vodka. so youāre not like annoyingly secret menuing someone.
also it will make your inner 19 year old, who didnāt know what drinks to order to make herself seem like an adult, proud.
