Getting jacked is the best thing I can do to prepare and thrive in our increasingly absurd and unpredictable world. I have no idea what's going to happen from one week to the next, so I train like some stupid shit is always about to go down.

You're an intense weirdo. You are going on a tropical vacation. What will you pack to read? Something sunny, immersive, without too much romance or heteronormative stuff. Nothing too sad. Something indulgent, that you want to reach for over and over.

I imagine myself returning from a morning of sleeping on the beach, fixing myself a plate of cheeses and fruits, pouring myself a very cold drink, and diving deep into a book while hot wind blows through the windows, and my skin still feels warm from the morning sun.

A book that doesn't take me away from where I am, but rather keeps the rest of the world away, functioning as an additional sensory buffer that prevents reality from rushing back in.

A book that makes me think deeply about the little things, maybe a slow burn with rich descriptions. Maybe something absurd or surreal.

What would you suggest?

I think sports are good and women should be allowed to sunbathe topless.

We need lesbian media that isn't sad or sexual.

Sometimes living in a slightly homophobic country is easier because you have to commit to the game.
