Hey you

The beauty standards going back to heroin chic level skinny is totally linked to the rise of right winged politics. They like their women weak and emaciated.

I guessed who the body was going to be pretty early on based on who I found most insufferable / likely to be murdered and found myself most suspicious of Katie and Emma

23. The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley

Written in a split timeline/multi POV style, a group of old friends who have all outgrown each other stay at a remote lodge in Scotland for New Years.

I liked the short chapters and pacing

Battling grief and depression, she finds an ethically questionable psychiatrist to prescribe any and all sleeping aids to pass a whole year #booksky

Look I'm probably going to use the same reasoning to justify ordering pizza this week too

Choosing to order Korean fried chicken instead of a Switch 2 makes it practically free by comparison.

See, you get it.

I've never bought anything big on it before, but I'm sitting here, crime scene in my pants, thinking about Christmas coming up and how much more enjoyable my day would be if JB hi-fi delivered me a new switch RN 😂

And the switch 2 version is soooo much better 😭 my brain struggles with some of the visual distortions in Mario kart 8

Here's me. '“People aren’t buying their shit anymore”: They think they can make you forget what you’ve seen'

I still haven't gone back for the third in shades of magic; I didn't mind the first 2 but just haven't felt compelled to pick up the final one yet.
I'll get there eventually for the sake of completion

YouTube video by The Sunday Shot Chris Hedges talks with Dave about journalism, censorship and empire

I interviewed Pulitzer Prize winning war correspondent Chris Hedges for an hour about the Western media betrayal of Palestinian journalists, the National Press Club of Australia, fascism and a violent empire in decline.

It's going well, but the 10.5 hour days are certainly an adjustment.
My back doth protest.

The kids always want a BBQ meatlovers, so the default when they're home is one family sized with garlic bread 👌🏼

20. Vengeful by V. E Schwab

Overall I enjoyed this duology (though not as much as I loved Schwab's Addie LaRue)
Two sociopathic college students unlock the secret to developing superhuman powers, both believing themselves to be the hero of the story while also being serial killers?
