Being late millennial/early zoomer owns. I’m going to get my kids confusing German high modernist toys too and they will love it.

based department?

fun to see where my head was at approximately 1 year ago (in the sand, as usual)

yo is Bluesky a happening place now

My cosmology is a bit different from ALC’s so I am actually a sub to God, or trying to 😇

I think there’s room for the fun reading too though—afaict she says if you have a desire, you’re not choosing to desire something, just embodying it (which is still a useful concept in less bleak ideologies)

Fairly late in the book, I think maybe even the infamous sissy porn chapter, she’s talking about how we are all just acting on desires that are handed down to us, come in from outside (even/especially desires for power) and this is female™️

I ended up actually reading Females and I can’t agree with you more. I do think there’s something to her ontology actually, but the real thing is more like “doms are actually subs to the universe”?

I thought about making all kinds of meme-myself-a-bf/gf joke posts but honestly, at this point my ideal partner is just someone who's honest and reliable and actually wants to spend time together. Anything else, I can make it work, you know?

One post per person per day for some group, choose post with most likes

That’s what I was thinking!

"Morning bun" sounds too cute to be the name of a real food you can eat.

Americans and possibly much of the world do not know what brown sauce is, I didn’t learn until going to the UK

What Exactly Does Ketamine Do For Depression?

Wait so do we know for sure that anesthesia in general isn’t somewhat antidepressant? Maybe the brain likes to be turned off and on again.

Also like, if people wanna write about sissy porn so what. Consider yourselves lucky! Could be me up there spilling a ton of ink on the semiotics of watching girls pee or whatever, good thing I’ve got actual work to do

Ottessa Moshfegh Is Praying for Us The author has been hailed as a high priestess of filth. Really, she wants to purify her readers.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but a lot of the Andrea Long Chu reviews are slappers. I’m glad the Pulitzer went to her instead of boring stuff I won’t read. https://www.vulture.com/article/ottessa-moshfegh-lapvona-review.html

sent in revisions this morning. looks like now, only an entire year into my phd, I will finally be done with my masters!

Chocolate > raisin, but honestly I prefer cookies that are all one thing with no bits in them (peanut butter, snickerdoodles, oatmeal cookies w/no raisin)

@xenoduck.bsky.social self care routine

Junji Ito is listening intently

Okay yea, the like battle of the sexes rhetoric on twitter (and other places, like I got some good book recs out of red scare discord but was it worth it?) was Bad For Me

tpot acts all wholesome but they have a lot of Stuff To Work Out in that arena

Also yeah that’s mindblowing lol

I studied abroad in Wales for a year so I wanted to learn some Welsh. (It turns out I actually have some Welsh ancestry, but I didn’t find out until after I left—that side of the family thought they were Irish! American immigration is a real trip)

I don’t know! I learned Spanish and Latin in school as a kid and those were taught in a more grammar-first way. I don’t remember much of either years later but I did learn a lot at the time and it’s on me for not keeping up.

I really admire you for learning enough to write poetry! I spent some time trying to learn welsh on duolingo but it was really hard, I just couldn’t figure out the grammar without more structure

Absolutely deranged. I hope you had fun learning Cornish at least?

Omg what happened?

@mantis.red were u involved

Viewing myself as female -> nonbinary

some of us like tummy rolls okay??
