performatively reading at the cafe/M train/ park bench to impress girls is OUT. performatively reading at the laundromat to impress six strangers of varying ages and genders and life stages, all wearing sweatpants, is IN.
performative reading in public but make it *ACTUALLY* READING IN PUBLIC. Go read outside!! cute fit just makes it more fun to be out of the house!! I will not be shamed into not reading in public because some poser readers have made it a joke.
