kit 👻 🦧

it's my prized possession

some commotion for the 1st edition of south i randomly acquired at an antique mall

toni and addie go viral by melissa marr, home fire by kamila shamsie, labyrinth of ice: the triumphant and tragic greely polar exploration, standing heavy by gauz'

almost forgot to take a pic before returning these

the latest fear i have developed in real time is jello, gelatin & other jiggly foods. i looked at a picture of blancmange and felt a shiver go down my spine

oh my god

my hand holding a pink piece of paper reading "south!"

south! by ernest shackleton

i truly have no survival instincts because if i saw one of these guys in the wild i would just let them eat me

sometimes when i have a headache i imagine that my head is one huge blister that i pop with a sword to drain all the Evil Pus (headache demons) and you know what it works. the power of positive thinking ig

polar bear standing on its hind legs waving a paw

if polar bears are nature's perfect killing machines then WHY are they so cute and polite checkmate atheists

i complain about my job a lot but today i got paid to write about the winchester mystery house AND arctic exploration so this is sort of the dream

hyperlinking a researchgate paper on ichthyology for my msn contentslop because boomers deserved well-cited sources just like anyone else

feeling extremely starving victorian writer rn (had to turn on the space heater in the office so i don't freeze to death during the first snow of the season)

HOW COULD I FORGET CAVES. the nutty putty cave incident would *never* happen to me

new york has a socialist mayor and i'm finally getting over my cold thank you woke i love you woke

cis people will rlly be like i'm an ally! i hear you i see you and i want you to know that i will in fact sell out the second i'm offered a fat cheque

apparently i only post on this website when i develop a fear in real-time or read a book

interior shot of lærdal tunnel in norway. it is long and ominous, lit with a creepy blue light that makes it look even longer and more ominous

shot of a car pulled over in one of the caves in lærdal. it still looks extremely long and ominous

just learned about the world's longest (24k!!) road tunnel in norway and this thing is going to haunt me in my dream. it has designated caves for drivers to pull over in so they don't have panic attacks

my hand holding a pink piece of paper reading "doctor zhivago"

doctor zhivago by boris pasternak

the russian lit grind never stops

a list of other things i'm scared of conceptually
-fish but only when they're dead and not for eating. i'm fine in an aquarium i am terrified in a pet store
-the north sea
-ganges river dolphins
-big bird
-pelicans
-submarines

maybe this is harsh but i think that people who yap and/or watch tiktoks at full volume in the quiet car of the train should die

aerial photo of everest

anyone else terrified of mountains, like just conceptually? this picture of everest has me dry-heaving in terror

today's pick comes from....the saskatoon public library?? i assume someone stole this and that's how it ended up in a little free library in ontario considering it came out in april

i think it's funny how i saved myself a lot of gender troubles by simply having debilitating self esteem. if someone suggested i wear a push-up bra as a teen i would have killed myself

in high school i was briefly entranced by a non-threatening tenor i met once and now we're both gay. many such cases

these margins are a hate crime holy shit

my hand holding a pink piece of paper reading "nansen"

nansen by e.e. reynolds alongside a very adorable stuffed narwhal

latest raffle pick ft nansen the narwhal

daughters of nantucket by julie gerstenblatt, the book of mother by violaine huisman, dostoevsky in love by alex christofi, the orleander sword by tasha suri

belated library haul. dw i read the jasmine throne on ebook earlier this year i'm not rawdogging the second book in a trilogy

why do we say "sausage fest" when "penile colony" is right there
