If the argument involves "firmly held religious beliefs" you can translate that as "but you're going to Hell, I'm allowed to be mean ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ˆ"

Just "love" how every legal argument in support of people who get fired for anti-trans shit boils down to "buh-buh-but it's my RIGHT to be an ASS HOLE ๐Ÿฅบ"

I was introduced to this song during a burlesque number last Saturday and I must say I've rarely heard a song so perfectly engineered for men to bump dicks to at the dick-bumping bar

Coney Island has many sights for the connoisseur of weird ephemera and Uncanny Valley denizens. Here I paid my respects to the "Watch Her Dance to the End of Love" mannequin and the venerable Grandmother's Predictions fortune telling machine ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ”ฎ (There's video on my Insta)

Far-right chud in NYT: "They went about the ordinary business of life - laboring, raising children, worshipping their creator - untroubled by futile expectations of change." Medieval commoners: "I would rather the king and all kings were dead than that my son should be hurt on his little finger."

It's also easy to say something like that until accusations come forward against someone whose artistic output you DO regard highly (because sex pest behavior is unfortunately depressingly common, especially when one is insulated by fame and wealth)

When some famous creative professional is outed as a sex pest, one of the most grating responses is "Well, *I've* always thought his work sucked, so no big loss." I've been seeing A LOT of that lately and it really is not helpful. The quality of the work is not the issue here, buddy

This same great-great-aunt added later that it was a minor family scandal when one of her brothers asked their father to pay him for his work on the farm. She ended up becoming a nun BTW

Sometimes I think about the family history written by one of my grandmother's aunts. She recounts how she wanted to leave home when young to work as a teacher: her father was dismayed because, as he told her directly, he'd had a large family specifically for the unpaid farm labor ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Brave New Weird 2 is here! (I think this is my Tenebrous Press subscription copy rather than my contributor's copy, but anyway.) My story appears on p. 69 (nice) and was partly inspired by my hatred for Christian Nationalism (unfortunately timely)

I've been lax posting about recent books I've obtained lately. The first three photos are all from preorders and book subscriptions from April until today; the last spread of Infinity Land Press books was sent in compensation for some freelance proofreading work I did for ILP.
