Gracie 💀 'Indubitably, Warden.'

just a few of my favorite vintage gothic romance book covers

a girl like me should be in the sky sitting on a star

This sapphic folk horror story (one of my favorite arc reads last year!) is finally out today! It’s brutal, gory, and horny. Featuring a lesbian nun, a traumatized peasant woman, an evil necromancer, and a talking skull journeying across the war torn plague infested countryside.

World so fucked even I FULLY agree with what the Pope said here in his first encyclical

don't use ai to write, use your childhood trauma like the rest of us

perfect from every angle

I like how the idea of love is gently implied in GtN, like a whisper on the wind and then in HtN Muir hits you with it like an anvil shot out of a canon with "THEY LOVE EACH OTHER" written in bold on the side

very good essay from @writingenjoyer diagnosing what the hell is going on on BookTok

sjm books are white women's bible and i mean this in the most derogatory, insulting way

Alecto the Ninth (eventually)

I'd rather make awful art than have a computer do it for me. To be able to see your improvement over time and the exhilaration of finally getting it right is unbeatable

“Trust us ladies, every man secretly despises you during sex” is such a fascinating ideology because it requires believing women are simultaneously too stupid to understand our own relationships, too delusional to recognize disrespect, and too emotionally fragile to survive intimacy without a self appointed trauma translator explaining male thoughts to us. It’s also funny how this worldview strips women of all agency while pretending to be liberation. Apparently women can become surgeons, lawyers, pilots, and world leaders, but the second we willingly enjoy sex with a man we suddenly need a radfem mind reader to inform us that actually we’re being spiritually degraded in ways only she can detect. Some of you have built an entire personality around projecting your own bitterness onto every other woman on earth and calling it political consciousness.

"There's no way you can write a ten page paper without chatGPT" WE COULD LITERALLY DO EVERYTHING THAT EVER HAPPENED IN HUMAN HISTORY WITHOUT CHATGPT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

I never made it with moderation No, I never understood All the feeling was all or nothing And I took everything I could

I’m speechless

A Family can be Two People

people need to be introduced to the concept of ‘catharsis’ as defined by Aristotle in his Poetics. Fiction used as a mean to have a purging experience, to liberate unhealthy emotions, is a thing since ancient greece.

i don’t think i’ve ever seen an artist sob on stage like this 😭 her vulnerability really is what makes her so special as an artist and we should all be so grateful for that

i wish i could text my cat
