I Just Finished The Basic Eight And Even Though I Knew The Plot Twist Beforehand It Still Got Me. I Honestly

I just finished The Basic Eight and even though I knew the plot twist beforehand it still got me. I honestly felt like I was falling, and my head is still spinning and I can’t think straight. Sorry for the ramble, anyway please read this book now.

RIP Flannery Culp you would’ve loved Lana Del Rey

Who is your favourite Basic Eight character and why is it Natasha Hyatt?

any australians in the crowd tonight, the national library’s fabulous online resource trove is losing funding next year and if nothing happens to change that it will likely cease to exist. trove is not only a valuable resource for historians like me, it is a national cultural archive that is of great importance to australian society today. it is also completely accessible and free of charge to anyone with the internet; how fucking rare is that! we can’t lose it. i can’t even imagine the consequences.

if you’re as emotional about this as i am, or even if you’re not but love pestering people in power for any reason whatsoever, please contact your local mp and ask them to save trove and commit to funding this invaluable resource beyond july 2023. you can find your local member here. please also contact susan templeman mp, the special envoy for the arts, and tony burke mp, the arts minister.

non-australians, i would really appreciate a reblog. funding needs to be secured for trove and it needs to happen now.

the dark academia community is sleeping on daniel handler’s the basic eight, it should be right up there with the secret history as a first media recommendation
