very funny of me to also be reading Macbeth for the first time which is about a man murdering his way to the throne. killing all opposition to attain power himself & what this ultimately does to him.

It's especially fascinating to me how they might all share an ultimate kind of plot point but manage it/take it to different extremes or implement different thematic elements. they all have an overarching: breaking a person down to just a TOOL or UTILITY purpose

I keep finding myself picking up books where the characters have a loss of body autonomy in some way by sharing their brain or physicality w/ another in some way, whether corporate, militaristic dead madman strange bodysharing or governmental brainsharing by memory implant or robot hivemind weapons

I've finally started stepping into the Final Destination movie series. having fun! maybe I'll watch the 3rd one today, who knows.

I'm gonna try that Palia game in a bit and if I meet that robot guy expect me to not shut up

it's my birthday so no studying, only fun

I played baseball. 野球しましたっ☆

🎉

should I watch an episode of Criminal Minds as a lead in to my birthday?

alright that Palia game has a tall robot guy and now I have to play it

I have started reading The Luminous Dead (after finishing Ancillary Justice bk1) because I have experienced many stories of people going caving and these stories have freaked me out the most, so let's see what Caitlin Starling has in store for me

readers or writers what are some uncommon words that you like to see in books or use yourself when you write? I just think this can be fun and says something kind of small but fun about a person I'll go first: relinquish, harbinger, behoove, copacetic, taciturn, ruination, acerbic

I'm up to S4 with Red Valley now! it's been very fun. I love that Warren fell asleep listening to Gordon's voice in his archives in S3. very sweet. also I do believe I detected jealousy when Gordon wouldn't shut up about Oscar. I had a laugh.

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck. Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special. "She probably doesn't mean me" I do.

one of these days I'll finish reading rashomon it's been on my currently reading for like 2 years at 50%

I tried watching that M*rderbot show to see if I'd enjoy it better as a show than I did the books, but I'm still just not interested in how certain people write robots. they make them so boring and make them look like humans so my interest plummets to like nothing

if your political candidate isn't saying they intend to bend and rewrite the laws that were written to strip your rights and freedoms to exist and to get access to gender-affirming care then they were never on your side to begin with. they are the enemy. they see you as expendable and always will.

reattempted to draw a person I didn't do well drawing before and I drew him better this time! little steps.

I want to rewatch Andor

fascists love the willfully ignorant

"not proship or anti but an adult with a job lol" okay listen I don't use the labels either because I think "tastes in fiction are not inherently indicative of character" is common sense, but this little silly internet argument DOES harm people and you're dismissing it.

I started reading Ninefox Gambit on Libby the other day and Jedao is fascinating to me. I love a mad man.

< prev post that should be expected of every candidate at baseline, bare minimum anything else is ableism from your candidate, take it from me, a disabled. and we don't even have that bare minimum! sad, embarrassing, disappointing, disgusting. all of it.

Every candidate should do this.

pretend i posted this on father's day

erotica and horror are two sides of the same coin, if you wish to write good horror, you must be willing to turn someone on, and if you want to write good porn, you must be willing to scare someone

Getting stuck while we're writing is a feature, not a bug. It's the point of the exercise. It's what happens when we are trying to express something we have not expressed before. That friction forces us to make the tools we need to understand and express it. Getting stuck is how we make meaning.

Everyone always says "that's what good pussy sounds like" but nobody considers the thunderous roar of the evil pussy
