My Dad asked me what I want for christmas, and the trouble is that I don't really want anything.
I basically don't drink these days. I suppose I could ask for a bottle of liqueur or whisky for those rare occasions I do drink?
I suppose I could ask for a kitchen knife. The handle on mine's parting.

I'm reading A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers and HOO BOY. If you like your horror lush and visceral and full-bodied, based so heavily in the physical that you want to roll around in it, this is the book for you.
Summary: A food writer murders shitty men. There is cannibalism.

the rich are obsessed with hating fat people because it's a strain of cruelty seemingly normal people will respond positively to AND if you're rich and you don't want to be fat you just pay a team of specialists to make you not fat. it's a class war wedge.

@rahaeli.bsky.social Apropos of nothing, every time I see your name, I have to read it twice to stop reading it as "rakali" which is an Australian type of otter (they call it a water rat but it's almost entirely carnivorous). They're very cute!

The new Frankenstein movie is the platonic ideal of a GdT gothic. Absolutely visually beautiful with the underlying theme of “we owe kindness to each other/our children”

There are people who say “I would sell my soul to write a book that good” who aren’t willing to write the four or five shitty books that stand between them and the good one.

Holy shit you guys, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is so good. What it does with shifting perception and humanising the monster, and contrasting his atrocities against the larger atrocities of genocide/colonialism and then gradually taking it away,and then the slow dawning realisation that it's revenge.

Having to keep myself nice on main when what I actually want to do is talk about how leftist spaces are all "oh inclusivity! BIPOC authors!" until one of them actually succeeds and then it's all "oh they're problematic!" and full erasure of their race.

@tillywizard.bsky.social Hey, I'm looking to Improve Myself. I have a science degree and kind of... skipped over anything that wasn't personally interesting to me once I transferred out of my 2/3 of a drama degree. What would you recommend I pick up?

This time in adventures in public transport, a pair of eshays just got in the train and are punching/kicking one of the seats. Time to practice my survival skill of “appearing to be staring out the window obliviously while actually watching them through the reflection”

people conflate their politics with their fiction the same way they conflate morality with politics - not as a genuine indication of their beliefs, but as a way to permit themselves to condemn others for theirs.

I'm reading The Buffalo Hunter Hunter and it's like stepping onto something & then realising it's is the top of a column held up by stuff you don't know anything about. Obviously I'm not going to know about Blackfeet culture, but now I'm feeling like I'm behind and didn't do the required reading.

hear me out, THIS time "finding some fictional element from pop culture that mostly women like and deciding it should be destroyed because it's... making society immoral or something" is DEFINITELY going to get us back on the good timeline. we just need these chicks to see reason

*sighs* Pleased to see that being an anti continues to rot brain cells (and yet doesn't stop people from attempting to grift off the content they claim to abhor.)

Another book I would like to rec is The Graceview Patient by Caitlin Starling. It's a horror about chronic illness, medical systems, and disease. I actually had to sit with my feelings a bit because it made me feel the need to justify myself, which is my sign that this is A Good Book.

the pursuit of moralizing fiction is in fact a fascist movement and more importantly, it seeks to deny individual thought by replacing it with group adherence. if your morals are broken by a work of fiction, your morals were not real in the first place.

I would rather fund 100 "welfare cheats" for the one person who needs it and I think cuts to government welfare programs that catch the 1% as well as the 100 are fundamentally unethical. I think the government should have been prosecuted over Robodebt.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Day whatever of reminding people that having their feelings hurt does not equal harm. It's shitty, it sucks, and I'm sorry you feel bad/that happened to you, but also it's not harm.
You can expect your feelings to be hurt in life, and you should have the emotional resilience to cope with it.

I caved and bought a danish from the work cafe. Surprising no one, it was terrible. The triumph of optimism over experience is constantly disappointing.
