@grittysstepson oh hey I know a guy @OedipasKvass gravitysrainbow.substack.com

@_Soup_65 I just started part 3. I definitely recommend consulting some kind of guide after finishing the scenes.

@corpseinorbit You dreamt your way under the mountain and into the rocket city

I dreamed that Hell is a literal, physical place, and it consists of 2 parallel mineshafts, each the shape of an S if it were pulled out so far it became nearly straight. There is a secret connection btwn the mineshafts that corresponds exactly to the wound of a broken galaxy

For the first time in the history of D/C, at least to my memory, I actually gave myself nightmares by assembling the beginning of the next episode. Rathenau #2 shd be out within 48 hours

fwiw, the most english (derogatory) thing about T.S. Eliot is not the conversion to Anglicanism, it's the fact that he hated Titus Andronicus

Titus Andronicus - Shakespeare. Much needed reread. Utterly fantastic. Has elite brutality dead to rights and handles the madness of that so well. Also, goddamn hilarious, like shouldn't be this funny funny. Surprised to learn it's one of his most hated, but maybe I shouldnt be.

The American Slave Coast. Fantastic, horrid study of US/Atlantic slavery that emphasizes the financial import while also providing impressive detail surrounding the whole of it. One of the more important histories i've read in a while I think

Power is just about doing things

The american dream

Anything special about it follows from the fact that it's not special

Shout out to people who can be normal about a place that's just one more place where people live and do things

Rape, murder, and the greatest ypur mom joke of all time goddamn
