A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul G. Tremblay is such a mind fuck.

Auschwitz A Doctor's Eyewitness Account is depressing (but a quick read).

The Troop by Nick Cutter had some horrific body horror.

I read a lot of horror.

The Icarus Girl by Helen Oyeyemi. Sort of a fantasy/horror novel that's kind of mysterious and not obvious in what it means. I really loved it.

Yoon Ha Lee, Raven Strategem
Margaret Killjoy, The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion

Good Omens 😇

(First time reading it, actually - I watched the miniseries first and maybe liked it slightly more, but the book was good, too!)

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory by Caitlin Doughty (of Ask a Mortician on YouTube). I actually read her second book first, From Here to Eternity, which was also very good.

The Silmarillion. It's the interesting case of a book not really being good because of how it is, but for what it is. Fake mythologies are all over the place, so it says a lot about both Tolkien's work and their place in contemporary culture, as well as his skills at his field, that he did that and he made it work.

Steering the Craft by Ursula K. Le Guin
Among Others by Jo Walton
An Unrestored Woman by Shobha Rao

re-read Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik

I've been reading the Prose Edda, by Snorri Sturluson. (technically, it's norse mythology, so everything's been translated half a dozen times already)

Disappointed

[(Anonymous)]

Probably not being able to do something I've wanted to do for about 6 years, and I suspect I will have to go through the disappointment again. :(

Re: Disappointed

[rosehiptea]

I'm sorry to hear that anon. I hope you get to do it soon, whatever it is.

Re: Disappointed

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry, anon. I hope you have the chance to do it soon. Dig your heels in and insist, if the problem is other people.

Re: Disappointed

[(Anonymous)]

I hope you find out what's fixed for you, disappointment sucks, and it sucks you have to go through this.

Open borders is the starting point. There will be a few restrictions based on criminal history, but open borders will be the norm and starting point.

No hate speech. Racist/sexist/homophobic/etc. hate speech is considered a threat and banned.

Declawing cats is illegal.

Animal abuse is a crime.

Climate change is happening, and we will do what we can to stop it.

Parents are required to vaccinate their kids.

Reserved seating is not allowed in movie theaters so no one is caught in an awkward panic at the box office when the theater employee spins the screen around and tells them to pick a seat, and then they invariably end up climbing over people in the theater because the screen didn't show where the aisles were.

Logic rules over all.

Stuff strangely popular on Tumblr

[(Anonymous)]

Greek mythology. Especially Haides and Persephone. Did the non-Greek Tumblrites all go back to grade school? Why is this an obsession?

Moomins. I'm kinda unsure whether this is an annoying trend. I liked the Moomin books as a kid (I've only seen a few bits of the cartoon on Youtube). They've always been lowkey popular on Tumblr, and it makes sense: they're cute, they've got the cozy/rural aesthetic that's popular in some areas, they fact that there are comic strips means you get funny rebloggable panels. That isn't annoying. But now people keep making awful headcanons and shipping Moomintroll and Snufkin, and... ugh.

URLs that are [some LGBT-related term][some fictional character]. You could make a generator for them. ButchVoldemort. GayFrodoBaggins. LesbianZaphodBeeblebrox. Etc.

The general obsession with calling a character or even real person a 'top' or 'bottom' based on personality traits. It's just Uke/Seme all over again. And it can seem kind of gross and invasive sometimes (when applied to people who aren't fictional or even famous).

What is your fav character comeuppance?
