eventually i may do a more proper intro post, but as a placeholder for now:

hi, i’m alyssa, or lyssa, or alice. or a bunch of other names if you know me well.

i don’t know yet what i’ll about yet, but possibly my daily life, or things i read or watch, or write.

convenient when the person you’re really hoping is the murder victim in a murder she wrote episode dies.

a downside of the ubiquity of whatsapp here is the ubiquity of audio messages

my initial impression of Cortázar is that he would have been way comfortable as a very online teenager in the early 2000s than Borges would have been
