I'm reading The Historian by Elizabeth Tova. It's been a difficult read because I have to actively fight the urge to skip ahead and see what happens—the story is so tense and stressful and I can't take it LOL.

Reddit has its fair share of "repeat" subreddits. This isn't unique to a decentralised platform.

Personally, I think Spez is counting on users to think the way you do — make a big fuss, protest by leaving for 48 hours, and coming right back even if nothing has changed. Reddit has no reason to backtrack if they can just wait for the storm to blow over and everyone returns to business as usual after two or three days lol.

I will literally judge a book by its cover. I'll check the genre and synopsis of whatever catches my eye. Friends (or other people whose reading tastes I trust) are my only source of book recommendations.

I was the stereotypical tomboy growing up: I hated the colour pink, had no interest in dolls, and actively fought against being put in dresses. When puberty began between 5th and 6th grade, I cried at being unable to fit my favourite hand-me-down clothes from my older brother. I was miserable when my mom took me shopping for training bras.

I lived with a persistent feeling that something was off about me and my life until one morning in 10th grade journalism class. While browsing the net on a school laptop, I happened to come across the Wikipedia page for transsexual. I'd never heard of it before. I read the page from top to bottom during that class. My heart was racing, I had chills, and I felt scared for seemingly no reason. Everything seemed to click into place in that moment, and I knew I was reading about myself.

Naturally, my sexuality flipped from heterosexual to homosexual. It felt natural and right and how things were always meant to be, and I never had cause to question it.

CJUgames, Many A True Nerd (MATN), ManlyBadassHero, and Markiplier are my favourites. Except for MATN, they all focus on horror games. I like MATN for his strategy game playthroughs, such as Civ or Xcom.
