Hounds of the Matskervilles

It's a haunting story just dripping ichor but it comes at the cost of making all of India a dark religious disgusting amalgamation of sin and murder. There are so many lessons to take from it both good and bad.

I just heard praise of his writing and dove in with Kali first. And it was ... stunning horror. And racist as shit. And the racism is what made it so good. And I've always struggled with that.

Good example of racism doesn't mean stupid. I can at least read some of his others without feeling ick.

Judging by the fawning he's getting in his passing, plenty of people have 😭😂

If something changed, it was only that he stopped trying to hide who he was. Song of Kali was '85 and it's dripping with Otherizing racism. Deeply frightening book, in part because the racism flows through it so heavily.

Don't forget Flashback

Get their ass. So gross that these people take advantage of our communities in so many ways quietly and then run when the people take the slightest action

My favorite take on him is the NPR review of Flashback.

"I suppose it's possible for an author to combine an entertaining story with explicit political evangelism and come up with a book that works on its own merits. But Dan Simmons is not that author, and Flashback is definitely not that book."

Take them to your local library! They should have a disposal program.

Also the Boston regularly called the most racist city by athletes. The city has problems.

USA USA USA USA

THIS JOY FOR THIS SHITASS COUNTRY WILL LAST MAYBE 5 MINUTES

Absolutely unbelievable

Absolutely unbelievable

USA's goalie is performing miracles on the ice

Don't forget the weird Asian fetishization phase where she had people as accoutrements

Naming and shaming, let alone just caring about whether someone clicks the like button is extremely weird behavior

A cast iron skillet loaded with chunks of chicken, green bell peppers, and red onions. You can tell I know how to season and manage my heat well and it looks pretty close to restaurant quality.

Made some fajitas, as a treat

I refuse to admit how often I eat red baron frozen pizzas, even including when I worked in a high end pizza restaurant.

Michigan/Duke is gonna break me.

That kindergarten teacher calling the fake ICE tip line on her own student tells me all I need to know about the state of people in this country.

Thank you. It's definitely frustrating to be on the outside from everything. Lots of stress with very little to distract me.

I'll take any and all good vibes please. My mom had a small stroke yesterday in Singapore. She's okay and I've talked to her, but they're doing tests Monday and she's stuck there for at least a month. My sister lives there and Dad's with her, so there family's around, but it's lonely and scary here.

Okay but country used to be punk af. Waylon, Johnny, Willie, Kris... The outlaws were an amazing era of fuck the police anti-establishment rebellion.

This album... is not it though. Cure Country manages to do both worse.

Hank Williams III is a great modern version worth checking out though.

It is officially jelly bean szn. Starburst and sour patch kid acquired.

Also getting ahead of things but absolutely ship it by media mail from USPS. Dirt cheap that way.

If you have a record shop locally, they're probably the best place to ask. They usually have them dirt cheap or just give them out

Tres magnifique. That would be amazing

You have my attention. Do you still have the box it was shipped in? Would $60 shipped make sense for you?

Again, ahistoric. Enjoy your evening, you clearly want to be right more than correct.

You're right about the jogging while Black event but wildly wrong about him not being the progressive champion of that race. To suggest otherwise is ahistoric as all hell.
