starting on 2 books this week (The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability and Red Vienna: Experiment in Working-Class Culture, 1919-1934); optimistically i’ll get both of these done in the next day or two

    Read annihilation in like 3 days last week! Whew what a story!

    I borrowed it from a friend so now I’m debating buying the rest of the trilogy (and risk having only books 2 and 3 on the shelf, which I also did with three body problem and that gap is Staring At Me Daily™)

    Also still looking for a job but I’m deciding to ignore the recruiters for now. They honestly haven’t done much for me at all and in the end have just been a waste of time.

    I’m just going to do applications by myself because tbh I’m perfectly capable of that. I’ve received really good feedback from some positions where I didn’t make the cut, so I’m feeling confident enough. Just keep on grinding.

    Theres one position I’m excited about though - my friend referred me so that’s an easy way to make a good first impression and I did indeed have a great first talk this morning :). Fingers crossed!

    Final item: went to see the borderlands film yesterday, very impromptu because some out of town friends happened to come see it at a cinema close to my house. Was fun to see them and the film was uhhhh ok, definitely not good but at least I’m excited to play borderlands again 😂

      I really liked the whole Southern Reach Trilogy, but it’s not for everyone. Each book is very different from the last, and you’re not going to get all your questions answered. If you don’t think that will bug you, give it a shot!

        During annihilation I felt like the plot was in just the right spot between answering and not answering the questions that arose in me, so I’m fine if the series continues like that.
