"A prayer, offered in avarice," the cyst-mother murmurs in a voice that is not her own. Her sutured lips are stained by pollen and thin honey; her words emerge from the wasps dancing through her gall-laden hair. "What a delicious thing. I think I will keep you."
I'm reading one of the most infuriating articles I've seen recently, which is a high fucking bar, and *of course* the root of it is lesswrong. Of course.

I hate it here.

yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

Every time I say this, I get some type of backlash, but to be a good writer, you have to be a good reader. Yes, read your niche, but read widely too. I read poetry, horror, graphic novels, picture books, and non-fiction, too. It's only made my writing better.

When politicians talk about holding each other accountable I always think about William Graves and Jonathan Cilley, and the congressional culture which led to the one killing the other.

Not for any particular reason, of course. Just ... wow, isn't accountability amazing?

The idea of trans women being inherently "murderable" is so beyond challenge that the responsibilty falls on those who "turned your child trans"

The *murderers* certainly can't be blamed, for acting on natural, inevitable urges, can they?

It's just all so fucked

You may not remember this but you broke into my forest cabin and stole a cursed amulet in your previous life. Would you like to have breakfast with me?

Sometimes I worry that I only exist in reference to other people, chat. After all, what is someone else left all on its own?

y'know, I'd probably be happier if I was into being cucked. A ton of people want to (& do) fuck my gf anyway, so imagine how fun it'd be to get off on that ...

but, well, I'm a practical learner,

Y'know, if spending a day not drinking anything because I was too afraid of the empty house to go downstairs wasn't a one-off it would be deeply concerning.

Butttt as a single event easily explained by sleep deprivation &tc, it's just a funny story ;p
The house is empty. I am alone. This is the truth.

But I can hear things moving in the halls and figures lurk at the edges of my eyes, and when I try to look at them they reluctantly become boxes or furniture or the light on a badly placed picture-frame.

And then, when I look away, they return.

Do any of y'all want to go out into the hills and erect a ring of megalithic standing stones for ritual purposes, using rocks which don't match local geology from a quarry at least a hundred miles away? idk I think it might be a good time

I'm not sure whether combining viagra with a fast-acting SSRI does what you'd assume or not, but it makes me happy to know that that's a thing you can buy if you want to make it a bit easier to edge women until their brains break.

Not that I'd ever do that, of course.

trying your best to be a good person according to a value system that rejects the idea that people can be truly good may seem like a good idea, but the contradiction at the heart of it will eat you alive someday

the inherent romance within the doomed royal revolt of a listless heir, seeking to claim tinted glory; only realizing the stained glass was shattered oh so long ago after a spear is driven through the gap between one's lungs

what better to be a symbol that inspires an eternal revolution, than the evil tyrant that was slain, and gosh, what a princess-like duty it is to fulfill
