Recently finished reading “Gefährliche Verwandtschaft” by Zafer Şenocak and “Felidae” by Akif Pirinçci, and there’s only one thing I ask of my Turkish German authors….please make a likable character named Sascha who doesn’t die in the first 10 pages 🥲

Don’t come for my handwriting. The cashier at the co-op yesterday told me it was pretty, but mind you, speed writing and real writing look v different. Grad students know what’s up.

During my GSA roundtable, I mentioned that I type/write exactly how I think. Exhibit A: My notes from my class on Schiller this morning.
