I'M FEELING GENEROUS.
language-games:
I’m moving in a few weeks and I’ve cleaned out my library for the first time in literally eight years.
I want to donate the books, but I thought I’d give you all the chance to snap some of them up.
I have quite an impressive spread.

hi! on my other blog, i’m a full on social justice blogger, which includes not being interested in racist, sexist, cissexist (transphobic), heterosexist (homophobic), ableist, and any other type of ist.

““I am large,” retorted the god. “This is only the part you see. I imbue this...”
