On Returning from Women's Lands by Elle Cooney, 8/12/24 (x)

there were a lot of really, really juicy lines in The Solar War but I think this one was my favorite:

They were the XVI Legion as they had once been, warriors who had earned in blood and death the high place from which they had fallen.

its succinct, but has a twinge of garden path in it. the rhythm is also fantastic. nothing is happening, no one is dying, not at this very second, but it has the cadence of a campfire story, of introducing that which needs no introduction but deserves one anyways. there's an entire arc contained within it. chef's kiss.

He should live, shouldn’t he? That would be the kind thing to do, the reassuring story to tell, but this is a story where that kind of hope and faith is not enough, and the reality is that it is going to end in blood and sacrifice and loss.

Do you remember the episode of Spongebob where he's training gary for the snail race and does a coach persona + calls gary a girl and has an aside where he's like "I called you a lady to demean you 🤓" and right after he says that it cuts to sandy and she somehow telepathically feels that Spongebob just did something misogynistic and us like I feel like I need to kick Spongebobs ass for some reason. And then she appears just at the end of the episode to kick his ass.

Just now at dinner my mom told me that a woman rowed from California to Hawaii and not only beat the women’s speed record but also the men’s speed record

Of course I had to look her up; her name is Kelsey Pfendler

Woman speaks out after history-making row from California to Hawaii

Kelsey Pfendler became the first American woman to successfully row solo from California to Hawaii.

You know I turned on the sound just to help me understand what was going on and I guess it was exactly what it looked like.

Ooh! Spot the industrial safety device! The worker has to press a 'stab the cheese' button with both hands. This is because if they're doing that, neither of their hands can be within the cheese stabbing zone.

This cheese is being stabbed safely

early this morning i heard what sounded like someone sawing wood by hand. not like the euphemism for snoring, i mean a hauling-ass kind of wood sawing, like wile-e-coyote-has-a-scheme-to-put-together-in-five-seconds-flat kind of sawing. which is a frankly bizarre thing to hear in a manhattan walkup, let me tell you. but i looked out the window and didn't see anyone doing any carpentry on the street outside, so i sort of forgot about it.

and like an hour ago i got a hankering to take a bath. i've never bothered taking one here because the tub is old and kinda grody, but i thought "this is as good a reason as any to thoroughly clean it"... anyways i got really fucking impatient because it was taking fucking forever and the bleach stinks like ass so i started going kind of apeshit with the scrub brush. and guess what that sounded exactly like

LTypI

LTypI (a play on ATypI) stands for “Lack of Typographic Imagination”, the act of picking a typeface because its name matches the content. Th

this is pretty funny, examples of signs etc where the name of the typeface matches what it says, usually by coincidence.

after thinking about it, a space marine could probably skinfade himself. for a real person, its impossible because you can't see the back of your own head and so can't keep track of the many areas to shave, each with different guards on the clipper, different lever adjustments, etc. BUT! given that space marines have ridiculously good memory and spacial sense, he could just do the same series of motions each time. he'd just have to get it right once, and then he'd be fine to do that once a week for the next few thousand years. before that he would definitely fuck himself up multiple times and look ridiculous though. thankfully a helmet would hide it until it grows back and he could try again.

anyways i think this would be the most iron warriors thing anyone could ever do because it is:

paranoid (i don't want anyone standing behind me or touching me!)

unsociable (i don't need anybody's help!)

making things unnecessarily difficult for no reason (i'm also not going to shave myself bald or do a crew cut or anything easy!)

a form of art that is often dismissed as a mere trade labor, as if getting your hands dirty isn't a universal consequence of creative pursuits. not to mention the vital nature of barbers, who never get credit for their role in public health and sanitation (mainly preventing parasites from spreading), who never get to retire because they live off dogshit wages with no union and have no one to turn to for help (because they hate each other so fucking bad). have you ever seen what's hidden under a hardhat at the end of a hotass day? or a homeless guy's beanie in winter? because its not a clean head!!! its not!!! a clean!!! head!!! you ever had to scrape the mold off a hobo??? do you think they're capable of giving a good tip!? but it has to be done without complaint because somebody has to be the-- [i am dragged off the stage by a hazard-striped shepherd hook]
