dissenting in an age of frenzied heterosexualism

And he absolutely had to find her at once to tell her that he adored her, but the large audience before him separated him from the door, and the notes reaching him through a succession of hands said that she was not available; that she was inaugurating a fire; that she had married an American businessman; that she had become a character in a novel; that she was dead.

Oh, I'm curious about this

Defining public sex as doing any sex act more intense than some over the clothes action, in a place that is not a private residence, e.g. a park, an alley, a bar, a public bathroom, etc.

#i don't have a thing for fucking in public but i love when you want someone so bad that it doesn't feel like you have much of a choice#you look at each other and realize that not only can't you make it to bed you can't fucking make it to the car#you can't truly understand the destructive nature of desire until you're sober & throwing it back for someone in a moving freight elevator

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

bonus it ALSO fills that dopamine hit of in-person shopping. “oh I didn’t go in looking for this but hmm, I’m tempted… I can’t resist… oh ho ho I have made some irresponsible decisions at the library today [carrying my stack of ten random books]” and then it doesn’t even matter if you don’t like them because a) free b) you’re gonna give them back anyway

Librarian here! Please please please please PLEASE do this! We don’t have any way to know if you read them, and we don’t care! We’re happy to see those books go out because that helps our stats. And that affects how much money we can get.

So grab that silly paperback romance, and maybe this new YA fantasy, oh and check for the new movies too! And don’t forget to check Libby and hoopla for music and ebooks and e-audio.

#my dad used to say that he felt terrible when we moved here bc we were living with relatives & relying on foodstamps and jcc for everything#so he and my grandma took me to the library and let me go fucking ape shit because it felt good not to have to say no#i microdosed on being a dauphin by getting like 20 picture books and swimming in them like scrooge mcduck all week

my vibe for real

#my job has made me desensitized to regular degular bad writing. can't even get a partial from YA or romance genre lit#what i want to read is the magnum opus that someone poured years of effort into that somehow against all odds still fucking sucks#i want to smell the flop sweat. i want to see the price tag on your creative writing mfa#i want to see that you put the blood of lamb on your door and the angel still rang the bell and shot you in the face when you answered#that shit keeps us all humble#i know that sounds sadistic and it is but it's also heartening to know that art picks favorites.#even if it isn't me#there are still things in this world that can't be bought borrowed stolen inherited or even earned and that fucking rules

i read this anecdote about mongooses a long time ago & it's never left my brain

The owner of a small zoo lost two prize animals in a fire. To order another pair, he wrote a letter to a zoological supply company: "Dear Sirs: Please send me two mongooses." That didn't sound quite right, so he began again: "Dear Sirs: Please send me two mongeese." Still not sure of his plurals, he made this third attempt: "Dear Sirs: Please send me a mongoose, and, while you're at it, please send me another mongoose." ~Richard Lederer, Writer's Digest, June 1991

every so often i start referencing it & then realize most people will have no idea what i'm talking about

#i’ll take Mongoose.....also [winking] Second Mongoose#richard changed his whole shit for this
