Some kind of weird bird thing? Horror films & literature; post-punk/goth; joyful cliché (they/them) 🖤
Class means two things in the UK, and a lot of discord is (purposefully) sewn by conflating the two.
Simply, there is class defined by economics. If you need to work to afford food and shelter, and you have no access to the profits your labour generates, you are working class.

My inlaws would disagree, they are pensioners who dont need to work but still consider themselves working class. Fair number of millionaire footballers who probably dont need to work would say so as well.

sirens of titan got me to a place of peace with an inherently meaningless universe that i never thought i’d reach. slapstick got me to understand how important it is to apply your own meaning to things. how maybe that matters even more than an inherent meaning ever could.

Does it instead feel like Britain’s political commentators are a bunch of clueless wankers babbling on amongst themselves, trying to create a country that does not exist by shouting drivel at each other? Because it feels like that is how it is, to me.

I wish teenage me - attempting to navigate identity through the early internet days of AOL/MSN messenger, My Space, Tumblr - had been able to see 'We're All Going to the World's Fair'. It would have been incredibly validating.
Such a cool film (and it's on C4 catch up for UK folks).

I would be shrieking nails-on-a-blackboard to Thomas Ligotti. Every word and gesture.
I asked this before over at The Old Place and the answers delighted me. So again:
Who is an artist you admire who you suspect would not like you if they met you personally?
I think Peter Dinklage is fantastic. I would absolutely get on his last nerve. He'd be looking for the door while we spoke.

It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.
