USHIROMIYA BATTLER: Uwoooooh!!!!! It's useless!!!!! I can't figure out how this is possible!!!!!
ME, ALSO CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW IT'S POSSIBLE: battler you are so fucking stupid get it together man
would you trust him?
who is that you're dancing with?
i have a personality flaw that always positions me on the side of characters who are hiding everything and refuse to accept help. like do NOT confide in people. confiding in people is the enemy. REAL winners lie and lie and continue lying until they ruin every single thing theyve got going for them & didnt fix a single goddamn thing. keep digging grandpa youre almost there
i say yay outloud too like this isn't just my internet persona this is real me
It is imperative that the customer remain unaware that employees drink water, it frightens and scares them to think of an employee as having human needs

Books For People Who Liked Leverage and White Collar
I've always been a big non-fiction reader, and I'm particularly fond of frauds, scams, and white collar crime. Ever since I finished White Collar last year, I've been meaning to pull together a collection of related books. As you'll quickly learn if you dive into this list, the truth is often wilder than fiction. (A lot more FBI agents yelling FUCK YOU!! at each other across board room tables, for one thing.)
IMPORTANT! Please don't pirate! It hurts authors. Most of these books are available through your local library, including as e-books. You can help local bookstores by purchasing through bookshop dot org, or as audiobooks through libro dot fm.
Category #1: Stand Outs and All-Time Favorites
Bad Blood reads like a thriller, and I genuinely mean that. It's gripping, it's incredible reporting, it's just a jaw-dropping story. Theranos was one of the biggest corporate frauds in history, and Carreyrou masterfully details its rise and fall. Not to spoil what could be considered the book's big twist, but there's no one better to write it, either.
Empire of Pain is also masterful reporting by a well-regarded journalist, but it leans more family drama than thriller. This details the personal machinations that helped create the opioid crisis in America. [Leverage: Redemption 1x1, which IIRC was actually written before the Met removed the Sackler name from their exhibits. Also goes well paired with The Fall Of The House Of Usher.]
Rogues: True Stories of Grifters, Killers, Rebels and Crooks is a collection of Radden Keefe's writing for The New Yorker. It explores wine crime (Leverage 5x13 and White Collar 1x12 directly draw from this), a passionate defense attorney, whistle blowers, hit men, and international organized crime. While I recommend the book, much of this content is available for free at newyorker dot com / contributors / patrick-radden-keefe (you can use paywallreader dot com to legally get around the paywall).
Number Go Up moves quickly and is full of fascinating characters and unexpected celebrity cameos. You've got your cringe rappers, your coke-on-a-yacht billionaires, your Harry Potter rationalist poly cult. Seriously, I wish I could read this again for the first time.
Category #2: Odd, "Cozy", Strange
The Feather Thief covers a unique crime by a 20-year-old obsessed with fly fishing.
The Art Thief tells the story of Stéphane Bréitwieser, the most prolific art thief of all time. He stole during the day, from museums full of people, again and again - over 200 times, in fact. He kept his treasures in his bedroom. A fascinating portrait of a strange criminal.
Category #3: Grab Bag
Including stuff that's more adjacent to the topic but still of interest, books I got part way through, and books that are still on my TBR.
Chickenshit Club I'm part way through and enjoying, Never Split the Difference is GREAT and includes lots of true hostage negotiating stories, Fancy Bear Goes Phishing I couldn't get into but that could be because I don't need two pages of text explaining what a string is. (I'm planning on giving it another go.)
Anansi's Gold and The Corporation are both on my TBR; Con Queen of Hollywood is a riveting con story for the first half but gets a little bogged down in biography in the second half.
The Confidence Game is on my TBR and is a classic of the genre, Molly's Game is one of my partner's favorite books, and The Gospel Of Wellness does a great job at exposing how scammy the entire wellness industry is.
Genuinely there are SO many more books I could have included, and I might do another post at some point. Some books were left off intentionally, because I didn't care for them or because another book did it better. Some books were left off simply because my white collar/fraud/cons TBR is extensive and I can't include everything! And some were left off simply because I don't know about them. I'm always looking for quality non-fiction - please do share any related recommendations in the notes.

urgent: help a gazan family remain housed
hello everybody!
shaima and her family, whom i have been working with for over a year now, needs funds to keep the room that she and her disabled family members are staying in.
this room is extremely important to them, because shaima's grandmother has alzheimer's and uses a wheelchair, and shaima's 7 year old nephew is chronically ill with a kidney disease. these struggles are hard enough for anyone to deal with on top of experiencing an ongoing genocide and navigating the stressors of this new version of life.
we need to raise a total of $445 by march 03 in order to pay their rent on time. anything and everything helps us - we would deeply appreciate your support!
link to support our friends abroad is here. you will either need a paypal account or a card of some sort to donate money through this link. however, if you encounter any trouble, feel free to shoot an ask or a dm!
please feel free to view our previous rent campaigns here (or check cygnettes.tumblr.com/tagged/shaima!)
