You can have my information
You can have the taxes I bring
You can have my fees and my tolls
Use them to fund everything

(Help me) grant funding as well
(Help me) we could be ✨perfect✨
Or we'll elect somebody else

If I need to amp myself up, Ukrainian folk-electronica (www.youtube.com/watch?v=27J4...), Japanese city pop (www.youtube.com/watch?v=daXw...), or forever favourites (youtu.be/c4V9fsq8ctE?...)

If I'm despairing and leaning into it, Shostakovich. No one despairs like Shosty!

A two-panel comic of a goose (from Untitled Goose Game). In the first panel, the goose has its head thrown back with the caption *inhales*. In the second panel, the goose has its head forward, eyes an all-seeing, glowing red. Its beak is open forming the terrible "HONK". All tremble in fear and reverence.

Alright, lads. I have a big Jesus flight coming up and would like your finest book recommendations.

Can be fiction or non, I'm open to most genres (ideally nothing prominently featuring plane crashes, lôl), and the only criteria I have is it has to be SO interesting, you forget where you are.
