And like everything else, this isn't going to stop with trans folks. This can very quickly turn into an enforced sort of femininity, one that never lets AFAB leave the house.

Oh hi it's me your pal Panic. Strident literary feminist. Publishing desk job. Ran one marathon one time. "Worryingly erotic." "Disagreeable, quite shouty." "Alienating, dangerous, and perverse." #Toronto

I vastly preferred that first book to any of the vampire ones. Returns diminish faster on that series than Lestat though.
I never ate a freezer burrito in university because I was afraid of beans. True story!
Every time I have a check up with my surgeon I get a survey from Princess Margaret, which is the WEIRDEST thing. "Uh, no cancer this year 5/5"???
Ha ha ha oh no song lyrics I didn't know were Shelley. ๐คฃ๐ฆ
(I don't have a great background in poetry, okay??)
I think I've said this before but it came up last night, hence the burrito post.
A lot of watches will tell you a metric like this based on your VO2 Max, which is not a thing I understand, and mine once put me at 19 which makes me laugh so much because at 19 I lived on 7-11 coffee, Kraft Dinner, and 25 daily Dunhills.
My fitness age is "No Frills burrito."
there is a special place in hell for anyone who polices the ways in which women talk about rape
"Toronto is about to get a guy who likes his laptop for booking plane tickets while listening to vinyl."
If you're reading O'Hagan today know that in addition to "cunty with such literary flair" (as per @tomandlorenzo.bsky.social) he can write beautifully sincere sentiment. Mayflies is a great example. I loved it.
Surely things improve sometime in the next seven volumes.
That's another dude I keep meaning to read.
I mean, I'll keep going because I finish everything I start but ๐ฎโ๐จ
This is why your ninja career never took off.
He's in the middle of everything, watching.
You can go down some fun rabbit holes though, thanks to the internet. I knew about Bvlatsky, for example, but not Comte St Germain.
Ennnhhhhh I don't know about this one. 300 pages in and it's mostly dudes talking to dudes in lists, mostly of other dudes they've read about, sometimes occult trivia. A bibliography more than a book. Eco had a library of 50,000 books when he died and he wants you to know it.
The Ultimate Hidden Truth of the World. You can definitely just dip in and out, pieces of varying lengths. A nice primer on his world-view.

Pushing it a little.
It's so confusing!!
Socialist women started it and Lenin codified March 8th as International Women's Day but now it's been co-opted by capitalist cosmetic companies so I don't bother with it.
We broke it. ๐

One thing I refused to bring over here from the Bad Place is the Cult of the Big Account. I blocked or muted so many of the familiar ones. Woke up to one of them being shirty with me this morning and lady, I'm going to save you the energy. *block*
I felt VERY accomplishy with my three months of Duolingo Spanish. I had whole conversations in Spain! Granted I spoke like a toddler but it was awesome! (And then spoke to another tourist in their native German hee hee.)
Me too.
