You mean you’re gonna batch heads, right

Saw a 12yo in a Blink-182 shirt and stopped dead in the middle of the sidewalk on e 11th. This is the absolute value of a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac and I don’t like it.

Also I call myself adaptable but they switched audio narrators for book 3 and it damn near killed me, so.

Am up to book 3 in Thursday Murder Club and this run of internal monologue Ron has during his couples’ massage is about the most fun I’ve had in a book in a decade

Jason do we have twins??

Number of days in trip x 3-5. Underpants math is nuts.

I kept all of my Luxe HCs and reread often! True love

6:45am crying on the L train at the Zohran goes to a Wu-Tang show clip how bout you

The skeeter in question wearing a green dress with white polka dots and absolutely looking like a preschool teacher

“Make sure you get the one that’s dressed like Miss Honey so no one can say we’re profiling.”

Got bag checked getting on the subway this morning like it’s 2011 or something

The best Ozzy book is obvi @themountaingoats.bsky.social’s 33 1/3 on master of reality, true heads get it

Ordered more books for the store at the news of Ozzy Osbourne’s death than I did for the Pope but at least I’ll finally have something to talk about at confession

Tim Weiner: Here’s my first book in 17 years!
PRH: {immediately runs out of legacy of ashes}

Reverse Ebenezer Scrooge: he's a queer socialist librarian who hates having to close on the 4th of July because he knows people in the community need the wi-fi and air conditioning

we did not give “stormin through the party like my name is El Niño” nearly enough credit as a song opener but there’s time to fix that, friends

It’s on order 🫡

“and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart” is my new favorite ironic/ acidic “gee whiz,” like even better than there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see and also not spoken by a monster so that’s cool

yes I am bragging about knowing *a* poem but also this one guy yesterday got so confused when I did ee cummings i carry your heart with me it was absolutely worth it, I highly recommend

Have been responding “eat shit” to any vote Cu0mo texts or phone calls for weeks but since they’ve really ramped up in the last week I’ve had to as well, so now I just start reciting poetry as soon as I pick up the phone

"i asked chatgpt" yeah well i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains, i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains there's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line and the less I seek my source for some definitive closer I am to fine

Okay I did just come up with the exact perfect genre term for We Were Liars (“seersucker gothic”), though, so I’m not totally out of this game

Vintage book jacket of Katherine Paterson’s Jacob Have I Loved

Book jacket of My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite.

Yesterday I got to hear @lexiatwork.bsky.social describe My Sister, the Serial Killer as “Jacob Have I Loved with knives” and fully lost my mind. Top that, handsellers. The bar has been SET.

This is a meme made in the style of a Penguin Classics book cover. The main image shows a line of heavily armored police officers standing in front of Randy’s Donuts, a famous donut shop in Los Angeles with a giant rooftop donut. The lower part of the image mimics a book cover for Capital, Volume I by Karl Marx, published by Penguin Classics.

If I worked for Penguin I would try to figure out a way to make custom meme covers of Penguin Classics.

No one gets this much head, even on the slutty ones

literally perfect

I know there’s a metric ton of menopause books releasing this year but I choose to wait for American Girl Co.’s Care & Keeping of You Vol 3

Edmund White dies during Pride with his last published work being The Loves of My Life: A Sex Memoir, what an effing legend.

We wind up talking about Frankenstein every day at work and everyone else’s comments are getting progressively more erudite as time goes on while I’m just “he’s just a big, mixed-up guy!” in every convo, not that that is inaccurate but still
