performative reading in public but make it *ACTUALLY* READING IN PUBLIC. Go read outside!! cute fit just makes it more fun to be out of the house!! I will not be shamed into not reading in public because some poser readers have made it a joke.
performatively reading at the cafe/M train/ park bench to impress girls is OUT. performatively reading at the laundromat to impress six strangers of varying ages and genders and life stages, all wearing sweatpants, is IN.
had a bad day? go look at the ocean. had a good day? go look at the ocean. feeling out of sorts? go look at the ocean. celebrating? go look at the ocean.
go look at the ocean!!!
