Monologue for a second date Mostly, I stare at the ceiling and think about how much I don’t want to die. I have a head. In my head is a circle farm. A woman waves from a burning roof. There’s also falling from sixth-floor balconies, windshields, suicide bombers, stairs, my eyeballs smeared against the windshield, safety pins, shawls caught in car wheels, knots, snowdrops. I have a head. In my head is a stomach full of butterflies. The butterflies are often sharks and they want out. I let them out. They trip on the threshold and smash their teeth. I have a head. Inside is a living room. A suicide bomber’s watching syndicated comedy. My head plays only reruns, cleaner ads, wet floors, skulls cracked open. Nothing after that. All dark, all air chastising its emptiness into the thought of you. I squeeze my eyeballs shut and think of you. I think of you in as many ways as the rains falls.

In my head is a circle farm.

Hi folks, Facebook very kindly restricted my account under the guise of "cyber security". I've appealed but won't be surprised if I don't win. So if you're wondering, that's why I've vanished.

A slightly battered copy of The Communist Manifesto with an introduction by A.J.P. Taylor. The book is black with red and blue text. It's sitting on top of a blue book, on top of a pale woodgrain laminated desk.

Not gonna lie, coming in to work and finding a copy of The Communist Manifesto on my desk is pretty funny

Yeah but I’m cooked different

The Internet peaked in the early 2000s forums era and has only gone downhill since

I think it might’ve been slightly better for people when “going on the computer” was a distinct, time-limited activity.

"[Neil Gaiman] has felt entitled to take what he wants from a woman, without her permission, and without any acknowledgment of her contributions."

On the influence of Tanith Lee's TALES FROM THE FLAT EARTH on THE SANDMAN:

THIS!

Please do not feel that you 'have' to read this article. It is long and contains some distressingly detailed accounts of deeply traumatic actions. If you are feeling at all wary of reading it, for ANY reason, please do not.

I rather wish I hadn't, frankly.

There Is No Safe Word How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades.

An incredibly well-researched piece on the horrors of Neil Gaiman. It is extremely upsetting and explicit. Please be careful reading it.

My wife called me Snow White but for bogan animals. Honestly. She's not wrong.

Please look at this armadillo named Wilson running on his treadmill.

A lot of silent era white supremacist garbage is able to fly under the radar of modern viewers because they have a very simplistic view of the KKK, seeing only the pointy hats and burning crosses.

In fact, the movement as much more insidious and had numerous ways of sneaking its message across.

Photo of a black staffy with a grey muzzle sleeping on a fluffy pink cat bed that's too small for her. An assortment of dog toys is scattered in front of her on the floor. There's an empty dog bed on the right side of the photo.

ngl in light of all the troll/discourse bots showing up on bsky, remember that you do not owe anyone a response. You do not owe anyone online your time or attention, and replying to people is not an obligation. If you don't feel joy talking to someone here, just mute/block them and move on.
