gracedo oh my god imagine if Sascha Baron Cohen was secretly an autism researcher this whole time… DEFINITELY Nabokov’s Metamorphosis lecture I go back to it every few years. I love it because he approaches it from his perspective as a hobbyist entomologist and brilliant artist and rejects the common Freudian or psychoanalytic analysis… “There is no rational answer to ’so what.‘ We can take the story apart, we can find out how the bits fit, how one part of the pattern responds to the other; but you have to have in you some cell, some gene, some germ that will vibrate in answer to sensations that you can neither define, nor dismiss. Beauty plus pity—that is the closest we can get to a definition of art.“ I discussed it very briefly on an upcoming episode of my podcast where I also talk about Tavi Gevinson’s new Taylor Swift zine…

i read on kindle for a few years, until i started noticing that i barely remembered some of the books i read! i like to have a print book now so i can form a relationship with it as a physical object, which i guess helps me remember more about it. lately i’ve been buying them and giving them away after, but i want to use the library more too. lugging around a book everywhere i go is just one of the welcome inconveniences in my life :’)

I very much love to use her to read manga and comics! it fits amazingly in my hand and I get less distracted reading on there compared to my phone, I read from chapter 1 of JJK to 110 in about 2 weeks to catch up! I do recommend it if you do get distracted on your phone easily and need a lil change! ➰💕

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
