Finally finished reading Babysitter by Joyce Carol Oates. Omg. So dark and intense! I'm so glad it is over. Now I've just started White Nights by Fëdor Dostoevskij. As for other stuff, I washed my black clothes and went to the grocery store. Pretty casual day.

Did a lot of reading. I'm almost finished with Babysitter by Joyce Carol Oates. Such a "traumatic" read, so dark and uncomfortable, but beautifully written. Worked on my Substack. Then went for a little walk at the park.

worked on some articles for my Substack, made a lot of progress with Babysitter by Joyce Carol Oates (this book is...devastating and kinda traumatic), did house chores, and went for a walk.
current reads:
• Babysitter by Joyce Carol Oates
• Sappho of Lesbos by Alexander Trocchi
• The Triumph of Death by Gabriele D'Annunzio
• The Dead City by Gabriele D'Annunzio
Current read + me wearing my bf shirts on repeat! 🔁 Men's shirts are my Roman empire.
currently: reading carnivorously Lady Chatterley's Lover, mentally preparing myself for my next read (i.e. Babysitter), eating pokè, enjoying the warm weather and sunny days, wearing wide leg jeans + my bf botton downs, and starting a commonplace journal.
