We started the SH Reviews week with @mattholder93.bsky.social on the weird horror of Ballingrud's The Cathedral of the Drowned:
"while my initial interest in Ballingrud comes from the heavy metal of it all, my lingering investment is rooted in the ecologies and philosophies undergirding the texts."

No criticism about the lion dance(r)(s) - they are massively skilled and athletic, but... sometimes, I wonder what kind of message we are sending out to people, especially kids.

Watching lion dance performances (very popular now, since it's going to be Lunar New Year!). And where I am, the lions give out oranges and plushies.
It's a scrum when they toss the oranges and plushies out - one day I would hear about actual fights breaking out over plushies (usually parents).
