This year I’m going to be kinder, more positive, work harder, and put more faith in myself until the very first minor obstacle throws me off for the next 350+ days

Daisy decided to wake me up this morning by sitting on my chest and breathing into my mouth. It was incredibly creepy

*sighs* For everyone complaining that the writing in xyz popular book is bad, please realise that the word you're missing is "subjectively".
eg. it's not to your taste.
You need to understand that not everything is FOR you but that doesn't mean other people shouldn't enjoy it.

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.

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.
