One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

I know the material reasons for the rise of fascism. I also think another reason - which doesn’t get talked about as much because it’s embarrassing that humans can be that naive - is that when you are financially comfortable but bored, abstract cruelty can give you a sense of purpose.

I am extremely annoyed by The Guardian claiming 'Romantasy has reclaimed the geeky fantasy dominion for women, celebrating female friendship, agency and sexuality'.
This skewed view stems from the ongoing erasure of women writers in SF&F through fewer reviews, omission from 'Best of' lists etc etc

A tweet from J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) features a photo of former U.S. President Donald Trump sitting at a desk, surrounded by a large group of women and girls who are clapping and smiling. Trump is holding up a signed document. The original tweet criticizes "every single person on the left" for campaigning against women's and girls' rights. However, the tweet has been edited with red markings to replace "every single person on the left" with "me" and "you" with "me," altering the message to imply self-blame. The tweet timestamp reads 4:27 AM, Feb 6, 2025, with 7.2M views.

"But we didn't evolve to be able to absorb this much info. It makes you devalue the work you can do in your community." It's not that social media is fundamentally evil or bereft of any good qualities. Some of my best post-Twitter moments have been spent goofing around with mutuals on Bluesky, or waxing romantic about the

This is the game I was talking about. There are only 4 playable clans in this. The Brujah are a good entry clan for a beginner both online and tabletop. My only gripe is that the Lasombra won’t be a playable in The Chinese Room’s #VTM #Bloodlines2.

Do we aspire to isolation? Unlearning the dreams of the rich

I wrote about how if we mimic the rich, if we aspire to their lives, we’ll end up isolated and lonely. Only by organizing consistently and working against these aspirations and against capitalism can we have more connected and fulfilling lives.
