we're all mad here
For years, I’ve been making friends on the internet and wishing that I could meet them in real life, but if you’d told 19-year-old Mary that, in ten years, she’d be doing exactly that, I never would have believed you. Meeting your internet friends in real life is dangerous! What if they’re not who they…

I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve moved this posts from my drafts to my scheduled back to my drafts. Like, actual months. And it’s not like I’ve written it or anything, I just keep looking at the title of it and sighing so loudly that I can’t fathom getting into the mindset…

I want to tell you a story. I had something else planned to post today, but in light of recent events, this is more appropriate. I don’t want to drag it all through the mud again, but the tl;dr of it is that Becky Albertalli was ruthlessly bullied and harassed until she felt forced to…

Sometimes, you just know. The opening page of a book is so wow that you know it’s going to be a five-star read. The first few minutes of a film are exactly what you love that you know it’s going to take twice as long to watch because you’re going to be pausing to shout…
