Dear Manager: 1. I have trained under the immortal sage Puti Zushi in a dream. 2. I talked the Ten Kings of the Dead to remove my name from the Book of Mortality. 3. I have eaten fruit from the Heavenly Peach Garden. 4. I have drank the Heavenly Wine. 5. I have consumed the Pills of Immortality.

The latest @chrisgrey.bsky.social piece is about the reaction Trump, in particular the @bestforbritain.bsky.social paper on Europe recognising UK standards as "equivalent". Advise strongly to read it, as it's quite subtle. Quick🧵reaction chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/02/how-...

people always like to sneer "in communism no one will clean the toilets" and just so you know, I will. cleaning the toilets is nbd and the reason cleaning-the-toilets-type jobs suck is because they don't pay enough and take up too much of your time, not because cleaning toilets is innately degrading

Not a comprehensive journey through China's land-based legends, but an idiosyncratic and highly enjoyable one. My favourite quotes: the Shanhaijing as "Michelin Guide to monsters", female ghosts are "the occupational hazard" of scholars, and "ghost management". #books

Magic is deeply embedded in the human psyche. More than that, it is a projection of the human psyche. Though it has, effectively, been banished from the land, still it surfaces in thought and language: in dreams, in madness, in superstition and ritual. . .~Neel Burton
