Don’t look behind you…

Just kidding! It’s only me.

Hello, I’m Kal! Your local phantom in the library. I’m a horror newbie and a fan of photographing books, so if that sounds cool, feel free to stick around.

Oh, and just to be very clear: Reject all forms and all systems of oppression. On and off the internet. We are only free together, when every single one of us is free. And remember, friends: reading is and always will be a political act.

This is a spoiler-free blog and a space to haunt for lots of recs. I am particularly fond of vintage photography aesthetics, but love experimenting with lots of different things!

Pull up a chair and come stay awhile. I’ve got snacks! 🖤

Harry Potter is trending at #1 on tumblr so I thought I’d take the opportunity to say fuck JKR, fuck transphobes, fuck her stupid books, her theme park, her endless landfill fodder merch slop, and her fucking castle on a hill. Read another book yall!! Read another book!!!!!!!

I want to be weird and whimsical but I cannot stop worrying that the people I love are just pretending to like me, its a vicious merry go round and I think I may indeed throw up

Dragons and deck building and coffee, oh my

Something about shelf browsing and the smell of coffee settles my soul.

Is it weird to make lists of the books I think my current MTG commanders would like or? 😂

I recently got the chance to meet my favorite author (Nghi Vo) and tell her that my current dnd character (a cleric) is based off of Cleric Chih from her Singing Hills Cycle.

It was magical.

Things have been so terribly busy and awfully draining lately (end of degree viiiibes), but I promised myself a bookstore visit this week and it has done wonders for my motivation
