"I'll definitely remember that book's title," I said in January, closing the tab. "I don't need to write it down anywhere."

Apparently, Silent Book Club is a real thing, and they have been the victim of so many scammers they have a dedicated page for it: silentbook.club/pages/cautio...

oh! oh! *i* can think of a type of effeminate gay boy who is regularly and vociferously told he's actually a girl and may even be forced to live as one & go through a female puberty by his parents, teachers, doctors, etc

I may crash and burn at any time. This could be the best thing that's ever happened to me and then I disappear but the lesson here is to keep working. It doesn't matter what people say, or how they try to drag you. Keep working at your art. They can laugh as much as they want. I'm doing the work.

Ooooh good idea, simple commute
