just finished b.r. yeager's 'negative space'. i keep seeing 'beyond the black rainbow' come up with this author but the whole time I was reading it i really thought more about the vibe of 'i saw the tv glow'.

nothing smart to say analytically or whatever. for whatever reason even reading fiction i feel like my brain is often in reading for information mode rather than a more imaginative and associative place.

Balance. ⚖️
