for fans of shirley jackson: check out kathryn harlan's book of short stories, fruiting bodies. it's so so so very excellent. each story had me sitting and staring into space for a while afterward. the title story is one of the best short stories I've read in a long, long time.

if I had a nickel for every time a doomed love interest named satine died in the arms of a character played by ewan mcgregor, I'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it is weird it happened twice.

they need to add a dust emoji. applications: to express that you have been ground up into dust. when you can't speak and you are coughing up dust. when you are dry and crumble into dust. when you are old and covered with dust. when a villain attacks your home and everything has been reduced to dust

I would like to issue a formal apology to every fic I've scoffed at for having someone walking around on a broken leg insisting they're fine. it is, apparently, a totally plausible thing to go running, go up and down stairs, and work a six-hour barista shift while simply being annoyed at the sharp, shooting pain in your leg.

in my defense, I didn't know it was possible to literally fracture your bones by running, something which is purportedly good for you.

tbh I need people to read Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett just because the frequency with which I want to say something is “a delight unto Nuggan” is like. high.

my little mental health app wanted me to doodle a self portrait but unfortunately I was listening to noah kahan again and I have a long drive tomorrow

Marylanders don’t say hi hello how are you my name is they just try to kill you with their car. which is of course a great honor in their culture

In Northern Virginia the country of my birth people kill you with their car because you deserve it. sic semper tyrannis

did you know that old school kerosene lanterns can be filled instead with citronella oil and used to keep bugs away

cheers to my great-grandfather who worked on the railroad a hundred years ago your lantern holds up good

it's a good thing mensah is already married with kids by the start of all systems red because can you imagine trying to make a new longterm relationship work when you have to explain to potential partners that murderbot will be there. no not romantically or sexually. but it is there.

and, look, I’m not complaining, not at all, but this is why it’s very important to be abundantly clear and specific with your Etsy witch.

While I love all types of female fantasy protagonists, every time I encounter one who (in notable contrast to male characters around her) is only useful in a fight because of nonphysical magic superpowers, I pause for a moment to appreciate Kel, who manages to be a protagonist in an insane monsters-and-magic-filled fantasy world purely on the strengths of

1. Being 6’6”

2. Bringing a giant fuckoff Japanese polearm to every sword fight.
