Do you remember
When you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?

(Teenage Anarchist - Against Me @laurajanegrace.bsky.social ❤️)

"Maybe the people who appear brave are merely doing the thing they have to do. It’s not a matter of courage, then, to pack up and leave a life. Just a lack of any other option, and the sudden realization you probably don’t have anything left to lose."
Jacqueline Bublitz, Before You Knew My Name

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

2 is for discipline heedless of trial;
3 for the gleam of a jewel or a smile;
4 for fidelity, facing ahead;
5 for tradition and debts to the dead;
6 for the truth over solace in lies;
7 for beauty that blossoms and dies;
8 for salvation no matter the cost;
Nine for the tomb & for all that was lost

Relistening to #GideonTheNinth for the 84516th time because it is perfect. Then rereading the bonus content in the print edition. Solo book club bc I'm obsessed but no one will read them with me bc the series is unfinished.

Gideon, facedown on the dusty ground, moaned: “I want to die.”
She was nudged with a foot, not unkindly. “Get up, Griddle.”
“Why was I born so attractive?”
“Because everyone would have throttled you within the first five minutes otherwise,” said her necromancer.
