Currently doing an Insomniac's Gambit. For those of you who don't know, this is when you mess up your sleep schedule badly enough that you attempt to fix it by skipping an entire night of sleep then going to bed at a reasonable hour the next day. Crucially, it does not work

they need to invent a running away & never coming back that doesn’t affect your life

i finished Hocus Pocus by Kurt Vonnegut and this was my favorite passage, which I can't find online anywhere with the important context:

Back when we were neighbors, I asked the Warden why he never left the valley, why he didn’t get away from the prison and me and all the other ignorant young guards, and the bells across the lake and all the rest of it. He had years of leave time he had never used. He said “I would only meet more people” “You don’t like any sort of people?” I said. We were talking in a sort of joshing mode, so I could ask him that. “I wish I had been born a bird instead." he said "I wish we all had been born birds instead.”

it makes me cry
