Whatever the free market can do to the fat body, it will soon do to yours. No one is thin enough and no one is safe. Eyes on the fat canary.

Pay attention to the things fat people won’t do. We know the built environment is crumbling because it collapses for us first. We know air travel is getting shittier because it pinches us the hardest. We know medical care is getting more expensive and more evil because it make us the problem.

It’s realistic! We live in the neglected infrastructure of a crumbling empire!

All this plus I’m not sorry.

The main reason I learned to care so much about trans rights, of course, is that I am very lucky and have had trans friends since I was a teenager back in the early 2000s. But being so deeply enchanted by "Billy Shakes Presents: Gender is a Performance" probably didn't hurt.

Fountain pens are a great idea if you love to aproach your desk in a Miranda Priestly mien and ask "why is no one reeeeeaaady?" while you hunt for ink and lick nibs.

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

Meg Elison's writing is un-fuck-with-able. (Yes, that is a word.) As soon as I read the description of the book, I pre-ordered it. You should do the same.

The picture shows two dolls with movable shoulders, elbows, hips and knee joints. The legs of both dolls are partially broken off. One doll's arm is almost completely missing. The limbs and torso are very long, the breasts small. The faces are largely destroyed. The hair is combed back behind the ears, reaching down to the shoulders at the nape. The ivory, which is actually white, has turned brown over time.

Beloved #toys: a pair of #Roman ivory #dolls with articulated arms and legs found in a tomb of a little #girl from a wealthy family in Emona, Ljubljana/Slovenia.

The majority of the dolls in Roman times were made of less valuable materials such as clay, wood or linen. 🧵1/2

I will not submit anywhere that uses AI for art or content.

I will permanently end my relationship (subscription, sharing, etc) with any magazine/site that does this. If it's a mistake, I need to see real changed behavior and a policy that works to prevent.

No quarter.
