Drunk as hell flying a zeppelin because it doesn't count as operating heavy machinery
I say old chap that airship is flying dreadfully close to the- OH DEAR SPROCKETS!!!!!
In incomplete recommendation list for folks who saw that last reblog and became physically distressed that "Fuck Doll Murder Bitches" isn't a real game they can play:
Daisy Chainsaw by Charlotte Laskowski
Doll.Bod by @ribstongrowback
Dungeon Bitches by @cavegirlpoems
GIRL FRAME by @anxiousmimicrpgs
Songbirds by Snow
(Feel free to add on; I'm more about games about awful little creatures, which has enough overlap with the "Fuck Doll Murder Bitches" design space that I'm broadly aware of it, but it's not my main thing!)
Digital Angel by SandroAD
A few more entries after a survey of my personal collection:
City of Flesh by Elizabeth Chaipraditkul and Steffie de Vaan*
deadly weapons by Adira Slattery
Death Spiral by @sarahcarapace**
Euphoria by Lilith Lilac Leviathan
* This one's arguable; it has "Fuck Doll Murder Bitches" vibes, but structurally it's more "Wysmen of Lübeck".
** This one's an alternative setting book for the aforementioned Dungeon Bitches, not a standalone game.

Did you know that world-renowned writer Stephen King was once hit by a cargirl? Just something to consider.

Genuinely surprised to discover this is a period piece and not fanart of @postoctobrist ‘s WWII LARP character.
it’s the other way around - I literally had this painting in mind when I was prepping for it

It's very interesting to me that a gigantic minotaur is fucking me vigorously. I'm observing the situation as it plays out from a detached academic perspective.
When you're away for university but still want to harass your parents
[eng by me]
and would it be too mean if I said that when it comes to discovering new books to read it seems like of people would rather just act willfully helpless and blame tiktok for "ruining literature" instead of putting in a very small amount of effort to find the damn books?
whenever this conversation comes up a lot of people start saying something akin to "just read older books" and while I do agree that humanity has an absolutely staggering backlog of books big enough to keep anyone entertained, it often seems to come with an unspoken implication (or, sometimes, ca very clear statement) that this is necessary because all books published now are Awful and Bad. to which I would like to say, respectfully, Shut The Fuck Up. the books that annoy you are not the sum total of everything being published.
personally I think best results will always come from just wandering around a library or indie bookstore and picking stuff up, but variety is the spice of life so here are some other places where I like to learn about cool new books coming out
BookBrowse is a great resource that includes readalikes, new releases, and the option to filter fiction and nonfiction by genre, subgenres, time period, setting, page count, debut books, and small presses.
Discover books that entertain, engage, and enlighten. Reviews, excerpts, reading guides, reading lists, info for book clubs & more.
BookPage publishes small monthly magazines that can be found in many libraries and bookstores, but all of their lists, author interviews, and reviews can also be found on their website. each month spotlights new releases across a variety of genres and age groups.
Find expert book recommendations for the best books to read in all genres
Electric Literature publishes short stories, poems, novel excerpts, interviews with authors, and even the occasional book list
Books by Katie Kitamura, Angela Flournoy, and Susan Choi are among the year's most celebrated novels
the Indie Next List compiles a monthly list of titles recommended by independent booksellers across the US, with an archive of lists
Lit Hub publishes lots of great pieces and literary news, in addition to book lists
over at Paste we've got, you guessed it, reviews, recommendations, and author interviews
Paste Magazine is your source for the best music, movies, TV, comedy, videogames, books, comics, craft beer, politics and more. Discover you
like sci-fi, fantasy, and horror? check out Reactor Mag! among other things, they have monthly compilations of all the genre fiction coming out
Reactor’s regular book reviewers talk about notable titles they read in 2025
and for my podcast heads check out The Stacks, where host Traci Thomas is dropping weekly interviews with authors about their new books and the podcasts' monthly book club reads
In the UK, drop by your local independent bookshop and pick up a (free) copy of Booktime magazine - or read it online, here:
The Booksellers Association of the UK and Ireland is a trade body founded to promote retail bookselling in the United Kingdom and Ireland. I
The magazine comes out every other month and covers new releases in the two month period the magazine covers. There are interviews with authors and featured books none of which the publishers themselves have any control or say in; they can’t buy a featured book slot in the magazine. It’s an excellent resource and you can support your local indie at the same time if you have the cash to spare for a book.
ooh, and they post whole issues online! don't mind if I do 👀
If you had the chance to permit the building an elaborate High Speed Train system that linked every Major city together, but you knew that doing so would increase the amount of real life Train Murder Mysteries by 300%, would you still do it?
small price to pay for my personal convenience
there were 2 passenger deaths and 8 employee deaths on trains in the whole of 2024 according to the national safety council
if we assume that Train Murder Mysteries applies solely to train passengers or employees then a 300% increase would range from "still zero" to "30 people per year"
meanwhile, studies suggest that increased public transit can cut traffic fatalities in half, so even if we only consider the ten interstate highways with the highest fatality rates (2,260 deaths in 2020), beesmygod would be saving on net approximately 1,100 lives per year, though that could go much higher depending on the extent of the rail network thank you beesmygod, your personal convenience has made you a national hero

As more and more people are being forced to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft's most AI-malware-ridden OS yet, I've been putting together articles and links for how to undo the damage and save your battery, your RAM, your disk space, your privacy, and your sanity from this bullshit.
FIRST:
The easiest way to get rid of the majority of the bullshit that Windows is forcing on us, as of October 2025, is this one-stop-one-click debloat solution from a modern day hero:
A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customi
It's very easy, even if you're not tech savvy or get scared of pop up windows saying "ARE YOU SURE?" Yes, you are sure, I promise. This program takes maybe two minutes and will save you SO MUCH pain, time, and money (and exploitation).
Now that you've done that, here's the cleanup, to catch the little shit that the debloat might have missed (most of this will already be done by debloat, but hey, it's good to double check).
Microsoft wants to put AI everywhere on your PC, but you can take back control.
Even just reading about some of these features makes me angry. Fucking Copilot and "Discover" AI scrapers are in Notepad. NOTEPAD. And then there's this uncanny valley garbage:
No uncanny valley video calls for me, thanks! (Also, what else is it doing while it scans your face and listens to your calls? What else, microsoft? Because there was a lot of memory being assigned to this program for a simple "smooths your skin" add on).
Tired of Microsoft pushing ads throughout Windows 11? Here are the settings you can tweak to turn them off and reclaim some privacy.
The truly insane number of places they have stuck ads on your own home computer is sickening. Become Unmarketable.
Bonus:
Some background programs you probably don't need that are taking up space and how to remove them (Microsoft forums, 2024)
Your Samsung Galaxy Phone comes with 22 apps you don't need (Android Police, 2025)
How to disable the AI in firefox (still the only browser that lets you do this permanently) (Windows Report, 2025)

hey ceetee👋d'ya have any recommendations either for podcasts in general or specifically for ones abt philosophy/history/etc?
anything for you my friend
SHWEP: A theology podcast for true theology perverts. Proud to say I have interviewed some of the same academics as Earl Fontanelle. Dense as all hell, not for the faint of heart.
OLOGIES WITH ALLIE WARD: General science and science communication podcast. Delightful NPR vibes, always charming, always informative. I specifically love the animal biology episodes. They have an entire episode about Urban Rodentology; the ecology of sewer rats.
MAINTAINANCE PHASE: Podcast for debunking medical pseudoscience, specifically the nonsense of diet culture.
HARDCORE HISTORY WITH DAN CARLIN: Your one stop shop for the type of history involving tanks and cavalry charges. Rigorous, exhaustive, infectious delivery style. I will never pronounce Ghengis Khan incorrectly ever again. Personally recommend "a blueprint for Armageddon" his series about the political economy of WWI, taken entirely from primary sources.
