“Let’s not consider the possibility that you’re not currently deep into a book.” In newyorkerhumor, kerr_elson asks a dreaded question.
Hey, thanks for coming over to catch up. How are you? Actually, let me stop you right there, because I have a more important question.

Turn that ship around and let me know which Pulitzer finalist you’ve been engaging with lately. Mmm, the mental engagement I’ve been feeling!

The text is teaching me so much.
