We have tyranny at home, no need to get extra tyranny. Or something. He really does have little to be proud of.

Disabled performer, feminist, exhausted. Love books, musical theatre. I knit, garden, read, roll my eyes at politicians, yell at ableists, avoid cold weather, back up people making the world better, etc. Trans rights are human rights. Ban cauliflower.

Jealous!! They look great.
It's a fair critique, and I am ABSOLUTELY one of the obnoxious nerds who love this activity. I will freely admit that trivia nights (and Trivial Pursuit-type games) bring out the worst in me.
I know that @fractalecho.bsky.social and @lizjackson.bsky.social wrote a great piece on a related topic: how disability tech and technologies of war and violence are entangled for @thenewrepublic.bsky.social
Itβs a must read to understand disability and AI discourse

And all those confused cows.
You can see the EXACT moment when she does, one of the best things on the internet ever.
I notice bagpipes are not on the banned list. Just saying....
That is genuinely horrifying to read.
SSSSHHHHH, DON'T GIVE THEM ANY IDEAS!!!!
I had to buy a new washing machine last year, and I still haven't recovered from the fact that I had to specifically look for one that DIDN'T have internet connectivity. Whyyyyyyy???
Yup.
I will never ever ever read first person romance. Massive ick, as you kids say. 2 - yes. 3 - rolls eyes till they fall out.
Yup. There was also The Land Before Time. Sob.
SIX???? π€’π€’π€’π‘π‘π‘
Came here JUST for this.
You are in for such a treat. I have been a devoted de Lint fan since the 90s, his books are wonderful.
Dear god, the suffering. I'm 5 10.
We'd be better off if these people did drugs.
And, well, one of her characters does play rugby, which I LOATHE (I was born in NZ to a rugby-obssessed family - I have FUCKING EARNED that loathing!), but that I just reread that book and it's a favourite comfort read, and... DAMMIT, off the bridge I go. (Some authors are literal sorcerers).
Oh, that's me and KJ Charles's Magpie Lord series. I am flinching and cringing through the gory bits, but I have still read the series several times because I LOVE the characters and her writing so much. And I will rec The Price of Meat to anyone, but I could only read it once.
You couldn't PAY me to say something like that to an author. There are authors I LOOOVE and auto-buy everything they write, and occasionally they write something I can't (horror) or won't (anything with sports, yuck) read, and I grumble in my head and just reread their books that I like.
Ah, a brawn purist!
And I just figured out what he reminds me of - and I mean this in the MOST complimentary way because I loved these toys - Weebles! `Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!' He is an adorable human Weeble.

Yes, plus Hemingway.
YES. So much boring male-gaze tedium.
FUCKING TARANTINO IS SO VERY OVERRATED.
Who resurrected this rancid excuse for a human being? I really hope this backfires on ON.
Lol, autumn, we wish! Gasps...
