Benjamin "Not Ben Shapiro" Schapiro @vermilious.bsky.social · 17/09/2026One year during undergrad, I found HPMoR about a week before finals, and instead of writing good papers, I read all of HPMoR. Not because I liked the rationalist ideas, but because I liked Harry Potter fanfiction when I was stressed. I fucking hate that this worked out in the long run. 180
