"How many of us do you have to kill to keep us safe?" Still goes raw as hell. Also the fucking "you need me on that wall you want me on that wall" at the end Christ I need to watch this show again

I encourage you to stop on in to the 'Shale and Well Met' for a pint of.. well, I'm not sure what. But boy is the company great!

Whenever I see “what should be a proper gateway text to sff” discourse, I’m torn. On the one hand, I agree with the consensus that you wouldn’t want to drop either the dated sexism of an Asimov and Heinlein onto a 15yo or even something as heavy as a LeGuin.

The STP newsletter has returned! In which I elaborate on what I mean when I say we don't publish moralising stories. Expect copious reference to Walter Benjamin.

I made a hat out of some Noro silk garden my friend @waiterpe.de got me, and with 45% silk, 45% mohair and 10% wool, it is very, very warm. (I made the wurm pattern linked below, adapted for the different gauge. 80 stitches to make a medium, 8 purl ridges) www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.

Manchurian Candidate Movie: look at this charming man with a hidden secret. He's smooth but watch out Manchurian Candidate Book: look at this piece of shit. Oh my god. I fucking hate this guy. He's literally the most unlikable person anyone has ever seen. He regularly gets cucked by his roommate.

Lets fucking go it's time for GOOFY POLICE ACTION

Reading 'Manchurian Candidate'. It's pretty nice how overt the text is about this man being the most bitter piece of shit, and they know it! Lets go men being pieces of shit!

You ARE the editor lmao

God I need this framed up on my wall

How it feels after eating an entire pack of chocolate coated digestive biscuits in one sitting

This is the kind of bait that would revive me from a heart attack

Learning things over the last five months so I can go insane and smash out 5k worth of scene outlines in a day and not feel like I'm going to fail all the time

Dorian, as always, brings an incisive, insightful eye to a work, and echoes my thoughts on the wonderful and deeply disturbing YOU WEREN'T MEANT TO BE HUMAN www.patreon.com/posts/review...

if you weren't into girls on girls yearning have you considered watching the uma musume pretty derby movie

All the arguing of hope vs. doomerism is making me tap the sign

Is adobe stock cratering or is it underoing the overdue correction after the COVID tech stock boom and then GenAI boom?

How SFF is going in the real world: went to the book store, and the SFF section (which used to occupy several walls) now takes up a corner. It has been replaced by teen, romantasy, horror...

Verdi's on a smoke break on your timeline, don't mind him!

Have trouble sleeping? Have you considered dedicating the entirety of your attention to a single piece of creative work such that when it breaks you feel so mentally exhausted you have to sleep?

Watching Fate/Fake I feel like I'm supposed know something about the Fate universe before watching so I can be pandered to betterer

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

Guy was pathetic even in death lol

I lift the heavy thing. I eat the spicy food. Who will tell me I am not a man?

“bsky is boring!” 1) good 2) social media should not be a cornerstone of your everyday entertainment 3) I find new artists to follow every day and look at pretty art endlessly on here when I feel like it 4) get a tactile hobby where you create something with your hands 5) read book 6) walk outside

Spooky curse husband!

Human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you. Let it be this one :' )

Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I’d strike the sun if it insulted me.

"jg ballard is the author that the most clearly saw the shape of the future" is a pretty fucking grim conclusion

Last year I didn't read many short SFF stories. None of the circles I am in talked about them either. We didn't even do the thing of laughing at the award slates.

I was in tears reading this part. It hits HARD.
