Finishing up finals, I feel like its been months since I got to write anything for myself. Looking forward to rounding out the semester with a nice long week of nothing, might even get something written in between hikes and parks. Can't wait to see Ireland in the Spring without deadlines.

After my years working in libraries, I will never not have a visceral reaction when somone opens a can in a library. The same can be said to seeing children running lol.

Randomly saw Fear and Trembling on the shelf as I walked through the library. I picked a random page and started reading it again. Strange how it all comes back, like talking to an old friend. I may have parasocial relationships with old German philosophers lol. #Philosophy #books

Happy Banned Books Week everyone!! If someone doesn't want you to read something, better give it a read. What's your favorite banned book? Right now, mine is the Bluest Eye. I ran a book club at my old library where we read it, and it has stuck with me.

David @davidsivils.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

So Moving to another continent and settling into grad school was a little more time consuming that I thought. Anyway, Chapter 5 for my ongoing novella is up, lets hope they keep coming. davidsivils.substack.com/p/a-bombing-...

Okay, I'm starting to post a serialized version of a novella I wrote last November on my Substack. I should have two chapters up each month and hopefully some other stories alongside. If you like supernatural mysteries, dark academia, and detectives barely holding it together then check it out.
