I’m dying.

Giraffes are seriously the bomb.

+1 for noting the most bizarre aspect of this whole thing.

On the other hand, Jean Auel’s books ftw.

I do not thank you.

I want to see the flying butter-churns everywhere.

I liked his books for few years as a kid. They seem pretty cringesome when I think back to them, but I’m not surprised I didn’t think of their problematic sides, I was super spacey as a kid.*

For some reason, this provoked one of the funniest threads ever on Kinja.

Laughing inappropriately loudly in a tiny hotel in somewhat alarming Eastern European city.

Best Kinja Koan 2017.

I read PNW at first as PNG and was like “Whoa, Jezzies in Papua New Guinea.”

We’re all still waiting for the shake.

I am totally indifferent to Taylor Swift, but I think it’s fair to want to go to a friend’s wedding and not have to deal with fans.

Can I interrupt this with a short commercial message for Hilary Mantel’s A Place of Greater Safety? It is a really terrific novel whose characters are the Dantonist group, and if you are interested in the French Revolution it is really worth reading.

I double-dog dare you.

DUNE! One of the best books, regardless of genre.

I liked Ancillary Justice a lot, but the sequels were a little disappointing, beyond the central conceit.
