Cat snoozing in a window

Currently reading The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters

snoopy is traumatized:(

i think the worst thing about the whole “anti-woke” culture is how it’s not only dumbing down people (folks are literally forgetting pronouns are an actual word class, an inseperable part of grammar and everyday speech) but also praising meanness and insensibility above all. it has managed to make malice and unkindness synonymous with factfulness and reason as if intelligence didn’t stem from emotions. as if feelings weren’t the very core of human beings. as if knowledge wasn’t achieved through passion, sympathy, and open-mindedness. as if the whole crux of this entire anti-wokeness movement wasn’t rooted in pure unadulterated emotion of hatred and hostility.

Lily is wondering whether there are any cats in The Metamorphoses!!

"All his work, and it hadn't saved anyone, or slowed the moment of their going by a minute."

i loved the sense of freefall in this book — it was persistent but never inevitable; and i loved loved loved the end

So slowly making my way through so many books

sunlight in the reading room

"A man can survive ten years - but twenty-five, who can get through alive?"

breakfast, sunshine and a good book.

i wish i could start my mornings like this every day! ☕️
