Has anyone used their own gender version of the Snapchat filter “my new twin” on themselves? I did it and it either gave me body dysmorphia or I’m actually depressingly ugly. And how would I even know which one.

Damn. A few of the book instagrams I follow are posting their 6-month recaps. I thought I was doing a really fucking exceptional job with my 12 books read so far this year.

Fifty-five. One of them has read 55. How is that even possible? They can’t possibly be earning enough from social media for that to be their full time job. And when do they shower? And clean their house?

Anyway, what are you guys reading at the moment? I’ve got Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone going at the moment. It’s so good so far.

And I’m trying to make my way through Junji Ito’s works and Ring and other Japanese horror for a class I’m teaching next semester. Can’t say I’m loving Ito’s stuff.

it doesnt matter how many books you read, just that you appreciate them dor how good/bad they are in your opinion. read mindfully, and for fun.
