that moment when you realize all the social networks you've built up for years are nothing now due to age or capitalism or people just not liking you anymore and now you're left with no one except books and your reptiles.

truly a unique experience as someone in the reptile hobby witnessing the insanity that is the venomous snake owner who apparently free handles his hot snakes. who is now in the hospital.
i promise we're not all like that. some of us actually like our animals and our lives at the same time.

genuinely losing it at this list challenge on storygraph, titled "sapphic horror" in which it has several books that ARE horror, but don't even have sapphic characters.
some of them seem to consider the "sapphic" part to be nonbinary/non-gendered characters, or are simply taking very minimal +

It didn’t really occur to me that I should disavow this man who never meant much to me in the first place but I realize now that it’s necessary for the SFF community to come out in full force against abusers if we want to have a safe space. I believe Gaiman’s accusers and want them to have justice.
