50 pages into If On A Winter's Night A Traveler and, yeah, sometimes the timeless classics people name drop to sound cultured and which seem to be at least 50% an elaborate joke on the reader and/or chance for the author to show off really are as good as everyone says.
im going crazy you have GOT to decouple romance/amatonormativity and marriage in your mind. you have GOT to understand that marriage is a legal document that protects you from exploitation especially if you are a woman or a stay-at-home anything. it is not some evil unique to heterosexual people. it is a legal document that says 'this is who i want in my hospital room when i die, this is who i want to have my stuff when i die, THIS PERSON OWES ME RECOMPENSE IF THEY KICK ME OUT OF THE HOUSE I LIVE IN"
nothing that stimulant medication and a coffee and an energy drink and a bump of coke and a good hard slap in the face and seven years in the harsh wilderness and a hug from a friend and a firm prostate milking and 250mg of MDMA crystals and a top of the line gaming PC and a tall glass of water and a distant memory of summer and piano lessons and four 20mg edibles and a sword that hungers for human blood and a well socialized tuxedo cat and a sushi dinner and a leather jacket and a power nap and a single beautiful rod of depleted uranium and regular estradiol injections and a typewritten sheet of paper bearing the solution to the hard problem of consciousness and nipple clamps and a lobotomy and a gun and another coffee can't fix
I don't want to say "you should never listen to a non-linguist about anything involving language", but like... man, people are so wrong about language. If you are learning a language and want to know how it works, don't ask a native speaker! They don't fucking know! Ok, they do, but not in a way they can convey to you. They'll tell you some wrong shit!
"How does this grammatical construction work in your language?" — you'll get the wrong answer
"How is your language different from English" — you'll get the wrong answer
"What is unique about your language" — you'll get the wrong answer.
"Oh ho ho, I am the exception, I am a very educated person in general and I would never—"
Wrong. You don't know shit. Language doesn't work like that. The things you think about language are wrong. "I always heard it was—" wrong. "I always figured it was—" wrong. Oh my fucking god you guys you would not believe how furiously wrong everyone is about linguistics all the time. It's wild.

Have you guys seen the clip of Anderson Cooper reporting on the hurricane? He's crouching down, holding on to the earth for dear life?
Well turns out the hurricane made him pregnant. He's pregnant with the wind and rain now. CNN released a special report about how they gave him an ultrasound, and how his stomach is full of some new type of djinn or sylph or similar aqueous wind sprite.
He doesn't seem to be in any pain, but whenever Wolf Blitzer asks him about the child, Cooper just rubs his belly and mutters something about "forging a new link in the great chain of being"
