It is with great honor I am pleased to announce my position with @furfest.org as supervisor of the Very Large Disintegration Ray that they have installed in the skybridge to the convention center, which automatically vaporizes anyone that disrupts foot traffic by stopping/standing still.

Recently read Strange Houses. After much praise across platforms, I was unfortunately let down.
Screenshot of a review by C.L. Methvin of Uketsu's "Strange Houses": Fluctuating between a two and a three rating on this one. It started out with promise, as the concept of the book intrigued me, and I was definitely engrossed by the way the mystery of the houses was presented. Unfortunately, in the final third of the book, much of the build-up of tension and mystery felt like it was for nothing. The previous storytelling method of speculating about anomalies or inconsistencies gave way to a single character essentially expositing the entire climax of the novel. There was no sense of discovery or satisfaction in such a blunt reveal, which undid much of the excitement in unraveling the tale. Additionally, many of the twists of the novel were wild speculation—so much so that I was stunned not one character in the book acted as foil to these ideas to drive investigation. Someone would say something outlandishly presumptuous about the implication of a gap in a wall (for example), and then the story unfolded from there with no satisfactory reason as to why such conjecture was offered validity. The book was fine, and I admire its format, but I do not see myself suggesting it to anyone. It was a quick read at the very least: got through it all in probably a collective three hours.

The protagonist of this novel pissed me off in the best way. I love that he elicited such frustration. If you like getting furious at fictional characters and narratives laced with queer experience, this book is calling to you 🌀🌀🌀🌀

Do you know someone who's a student or staff member at Columbia University? I need someone to go look at a microfilm in the library, and they won't let me do it. I can pay!

A little style experiment

I didn't want to go with something obvious, so it's more like "brain fog", or when you recall your memories from a 3rd person perspective

Whatever. If you're thinking about commissioning @zavlekat.bsky.social, don't 💕

He took a $300 comm from me almost 3 years ago, ghosts months at a time, STILL hasn't delivered the art, then blocked me when I asked about it.
