I had a dream I was following my work crush's Goodreads account. I didn't FIND it in the dream—I was already following it. A fascinating concept because I probably follow less than 10 accounts on Goodreads so I remember following every one of them, and he had his full ass name on there for some reason. And he was showing up on my feed because he has been very active going through lists of interesting lists I would frankly not expect the average young white man from New Hampshire to be reading, and marking things "want to read"

#idk what this dream says but it feels like somehow a consequence of when i found his linkedin by accident #i was just trying to see if he had a staff photo (he doesn't) but i suppose if u search someone's name + place of work. u get linkedin #i think so little about linkedin that that honestly didn't occur to me. i will never seek out anyone's linkedin intentionally. i prommy #i will do my damnedest to forget about the existence of linkedin #not of goodreads though. i really do just like reading and leaving reviews tbh #tales from diana #the books he was marking as want to read were like. queer feminist books on sexuality #fiction by indigenous queer authors #stuff *i* don't even rly read but ppl i follow read and review sometimes #high expectation of again. a young white man from new hampshire. i hate to say it but that's what he is #i like how i know literally nothing about his hobbies let alone worldview so my brain was like. yeah no he's woke #it's funny bc whenever i don't specifically meet someone in like a queer-affirming space or whatever #and it's a cis man im like ooooh what if he's like transphobic and racist for all i know. bc that happens irl!!#and obviously knowing nothing about him but how pretty he is. i am very much holding back the urge to idealize #tempering it down with the reasoning of 'well he could be awful and i wouldnt know'#my dream was like 'no. not only does he Get it. but he's Well Read about it'#i do not say this lightly: lol.
