Since I've gotten more than five pieces published by now, I realized I should make a thread about it.

Below you'll find all my published pieces so far. I'll add my upcoming pieces once they're out, with links.

Art Nouveau is when stuff looks like it was made by Elves.

Art Deco is when stuff looks like it was made by Dwarves.

As a Jew I am far, FAR more alarmed by our institutions equating me and other Jews with the IDF, who are responsible for the murder of over 80,000 Palestinians, by dint of framing any critique against the IDF as ‘antisemitism.’

Linking all Jews to the IDF is *actual* fucking antisemitism.

Very weird to see writers cheering for A.I. audiobooks. This is the same horrible machine that they want to replace YOU. Audiobook narrators are your peers.

It's been difficult to ask for help, but I'm a foreign student in🇰🇷 who's in such a crisis financially and health-wise that it's about survival--for me & my parents in India. Full story below. If anyone can help, even a little, even just by sharing, it would mean the world. ⬇️

If LAPVONA by Ottessa Moshfegh ever gets picked up for a movie adaptation, I want Yorgos Lanthimos to direct it. It's such an absurd, bleakly funny book, only he can do it justice.

Nobody else, only him!

I’m out of money for food and can’t afford my meds for anxiety, depression, and insomnia. I haven’t been able to sleep. I’ve also set up a Ko-fi in case anyone is willing to help, even just a little. ko-fi.com/soumi

The author of the book below, Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, is the pioneer in establishing literacy and liberation among Bengali Muslim girls in early 20th century colonial India. Her birthday came to pass some days ago (Dec 9) and she was an AMAZING woman in personal life as well.

This is her.

Cotard's Syndrome, or Cotard's Condition, is a belief that you are dead, missing body parts or blood, or do not exist at all. It is named after psychiatrist Jules Cotard, who said in 1880, it was "le délire des négations."

There are only 200 cases known worldwide.
