DNF List

If This Gets Out - I read over half of it and was just annoyed and honestly I haven’t recovered from the slump it put me into in fact I haven’t so much as looked at my Kobo since.

Kittentits - HATED the writing style and the main character was irredeemably unlikable imo

The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi - I found out its book 1 and the second doesn’t have a release date yet so I’ll pick it up again once I can binge the series!

Infinity Alchemist - Right book, wrong time! It did not fit the mood so I’ll pick it back up again sometime

Honey Girl - same as Infinity Alchemist, i have not been into romance since August

Ngl it's time for thoughts from out of left field.

Some of them may upset you, but freedom dictates that you don't have to keep reading if you find what you see offensive. I know it probably won't get very far anyway.

~~~ (To be continued because I know people don't like reading walls of text)

Fallout Franchise: Baseball

Since the Fallout franchise is set in the United States of America, it makes sense that our national pastime would somehow be represented. Of course, this is not the USA of our timeline but it is close enough and they certainly had baseball. As far as we can tell, the sport had the same rules as it does in our timeline, or at least close enough. It certainly had the same equipment as you can find…

So as a bitch in their 20s, I'm experiencing a lot of "fuck im old" moments for the first time and one just happened to me that I NEED to share!

I was working at a program for queer kids and they had a little library section so I picked up Out of Left Field by Jonah Newman (review coming soon <3) and omg its so strange to see people publishing debut novels from their experiences and this one takes place in 2010 (thats POST I Don't Dance). I'm so used to these kind of books taking place in like the 80s and 90s MAYBE super early 2000's but the 2010s!? I was a whole as chronically online person then!!!! The kids were talking about how weird it must've been to be "around back then"....and I'm just sitting there like...

anyways im a decaying boomer.

read Out of Left Field

I was thinking of presenting my paracosm as a series of videos. But reading this makes me reconsider using an online encyclopedia format instead.

Maybe I'll reserve the videos for the action.

I am slowly losing my mind over the shift towards video as the default media format.

I do not find this to be an efficient way to absorb information. I am bored and distracted by the time the largely unnecessary introduction is over. I can't use ctrl+f to find the specific information I'm looking for. If there are instructions to follow, I don't want to have to constantly pause and back up to the part I need.

At least give me a fucking transcript.

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

And that my friends is why I don’t go in the outside. With people from the inside places.

Everyone: "Unova had a bunch of references to it recently and we had gen 4 games not long ago, next mainline game is gonna be in Unova!"

Also Everyone: "Gen 2 would be up for a new game soon after Let's Go did Kanto, and the whole Pokemon Present was FILLED with Johto related stuff. Next game will be Johto!"
