stiff paperbacks ruin the entire reading experience for me. it’s worse when they have smaller margins, damn i’m just trying to read? i don’t even mind the creases in the spine… anyway this post isn’t about that, i love when paperbacks have a good flop!!! nine times out of ten the pages in those aren’t rough too 🙂↕️
if it’s not a little tattered and fucked up I can’t really mess with it. I like the weathered look, things written in the margins. it shows me it got the love and attention it deserved.
there is something so deeply intimate about knowing a person’s penmanship. you could know someone for years even but not know what their handwriting looks like. i had a coworker (turned friend) at my old job tell me how when she misses me she looks at the post-it with the passwords i had written for my work accounts. (sharing mine here bc in my head i’m friends with everyone who comes across this post. pi.fyi community has gotten me through some tough times last year and i love learning new things through people’s recs here!!)
it still baffles me that there are people out there who heavily rely on chatgpt, maybe even have fully replaced google, to make the decisions for them. idk which is worse using chatgpt or tiktok as a search engine bc what the actual fuck ?? 😭
