    “do me a favour, chris, and don’t show initiative. unless it’s to advocate for the president’s agenda next week, i don’t want to see you on newsnight. i don’t want to see you on cnn or capitol beat. can we be clear on that? i get that you're the new guy around here but leave putting out the house fires to other people for now.”

      “ heard a nasty rumour today. “   ever straight to the point. he’s talked to charlie who talked to mac who talked to maggie who overheard sloan in the ladies room.  “ why does anybody expect sloan to keep a secret? “

you’d be surprised what even a good man like him is capable of in the right situation.

❝   i would be surprised. that's not really something i want to consider. ❞  there's a slight wrinkling between her brows, above her nose, like she'd caught the scent of something distasteful. and she has, in a way. she turns from phillip without any real dismissal in the action, more looking to reconnect to her previous preoccupation, a draft of some speech she's meant to give reaffirming her position on tax reform. it swims before her gaze, and she gives it a moment of genuine effort before sighing, placing it back down on the desk and glancing back to him with a look of shallow reproach on her face.

recommend and review a book.

i’m so bad at reviewing books mikel why would u do this to me

BUT.   six of crows duology by leigh bardugo!    it’s one of my favorite books and definitely one that i’ll carry with me forever methinks.    it’s plopped into the YA genre but it’s not a YA in my eyes <3    i mean,   it is ............. but it doesn’t follow any of the formulas that we’re familiar with and cringe at in a YA.    it’s found family in a world that encourages cruelty,   in a world where love and patience and gentleness and comfort are seen as weaknesses and flaws for survival.    it mixes fantasy and crime in one bundle,   and it’s executed well.    it’s got a sexy heist plot in which six lil dum dums attempt the impossible for $$$$$$$.    each of the characters have their own backstories that are intricately woven into each other and the plot,   and there’s a unique display of how trauma presents itself and how a person lives with it,   and how it affects their relationship with the world.    the dialogue is well written,   the vibes are immaculate,   the level of detail put into the methodology of various crime aspects are Chefs Kiss   ( like,   picking a lock etc etc ).   I JUST RECOMMEND IT.    READ IT!!!!!!!
