Look. She was my favourite companion. I’m like. Ride or die on bad wolf. But whatever nostalgia bait is suddenly going on in dw… just. No.
She’s an amazing actress, but how’s she meant to save THAT 🫠 *flees into fanfics*

The fact that Sailor J – of “you want to look like a pterodactyl. Men LOVE pterodactyls” fame – is back seems a little too good to be true but DARN it does it feel good.
Yes I can still quote “contouring 101” way too well.

The world is on fire but hey, at least someone is bringing the snark?

Finally got to really use my hanging chair and spend the morning getting my claws into Fox Maidens by Robin Ha at last. A brilliant story. Fox spirits are always a big yes from me :3. Lots of myth, some monster, much fighting and family feels (the good kind!) and the ending <3

I just got it in my head to download my safari bookmarks for once, just to have them save somewhere… yall it’s 18k of bookmarks. And yes, I’ve been building my actually-saved-as-bookmarks fanfic library since I was 13 but that’s … a lot. I just save good stuff! And there’s a lot of that but Wow.

I wrote this as a companion piece to an essay for @solarpunklitmag.bsky.social and a novelette proof of concept I wrote for #Dartmouth College's Speculation Fiction project that paired authors with PhDs using research to inspire fiction. #ecofiction #noir #solarpunk

Found it in the bookstore today and took it home to sink into immediately.
Always a sucker for seas and monsters and where they meet.

Keep telling y'all to study more demonology and human mythbcycles if you want to understand where we're at today

Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25.

That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.

finally started yellowface and the narrative voice is so enjoyably reprehensible. I mean I knew I was gonna like it but wow is it coming out of the gate with a throat punch.
(and ofc terrible people are more fun to read about when they’re fictional smh)

▶More women will find out about it & try it themselves:
"You will tell the whole world that there is such an offence, to bring it to the notice of women who have never heard of it, never thought of it, never dreamed of it." There will be "a perfect outburst of that offence all through the country."

I think this may be the one good thing to happen this year. 💚

Interesting read! :3 Environmental determinism always reminds me of Anne McCaffrey’s PERN series (which. So many of those books on my shelf and somehow I still reread Dragonsong over and over), but these look like sth to check out 👀

Here I am trying to do some work and right as I get into the zone a bloody huge spider scampers across my field of vision.
And just. No sireeee, ma’am, Fridolin.

… Anyway the basement’s getting a new tenant. I’m sure they’ll love it. (Just don’t let me find u in the moving boxes in a month >.>)

Why can I watch a 3 hour video essay twice over in a day but tiktok and yt shorts makes my brain TIRED in less than 2?

…

(actually I blame the I-have-to-actively-scroll-and-skip I think. Sometimes I just wanna listen to how much f-ed up femininity got crammed into bloodborne for hours ok?)

Well hullo 2025.
We’re starting this thing actually trying to be a wee bit more active on here (I.e. actually posting and not just lurking) which is in direct opposition to the stack of books I still need to finish (or start reading >.<) from last year.
