aka @kingrat@sfba.social. I'm following a lot of bookwyrm accounts, since that seems to be the only way to get reviews from larger servers to this small server. I make a lot of Bookwyrm lists.

He sat next to a young man with his hair frizzed out at numerous uncombed angles. He was listening to his iPod while reading a Philip K. Dick novel, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. The youngster wore a Free the Buses t-shirt, a fight-back effort Magrady had belonged to several years ago.

No wonder nobody gave two shits about the homeless. What hopes and dreams could you project on those poor fucks?
