The Husband of Frankenstein 🧠

Coming to the UK 6th March 2025, the gorgeous new trade paperback edition of #Lightborne, from @atlanticbooks.bsky.social "A stunning debut on queer love, betrayal and survival in Elizabethan England. Perfect for fans of Hilary Mantel and Maggie O'Farrell." uk.bookshop.org/p/books/ligh... 🌈📚⌛📚💙

Hereditary is on TV and I don't understand why Toni Collette doesn't have as many Oscars as Meryl Streep. She should automatically and retroactively get one for everything she's ever done, even the 5 minutes she was in The Hours

I think even some on the left are getting sick of talking about Epstein bc it feels like screaming into the void, but here's the thing: fuck you, this shit matters. These women matter. The fact that we are governed by someone who did this and got away with it matters. Keep screaming.

"In a series of interviews with Democratic staff on the House Judiciary Committee, Beatrice Keul said Trump raped her that year in 'brutal' fashion in a hotel room at Trump’s Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City after the pair spent time with Jeffrey Epstein ..."

Obrigado Brazil. I literally dreamt about burning rainforests last night and woke up to a big sigh of relief!

No puedo votar el N29, pero tengo los dedos cruzados.

Okay okay it DID get better, in fact it got GOOD, but I can't stop wondering what the hell these people are drinking all day long that they call "coffee." It can't possibly be coffee, can it? I need a peer-reviewed essay on whether you could cultivate coffee 1 mile underground.

The Historical Fiction feed is so riddled with AI slop these days that I'm seriously considering finding a new genre. Not that ANY genre is safe from the creeping sludge...

This but for all the books I've bought over the years and never had time to read

Call me crazy but I kind of feel like engineering living beings for use as weapons of war ought to be a felony of some sort, didn't Frankenstein kind of cover this?

My poor dog is about 2 months overdue for a haircut and is starting to look like a field portrait of a Civil War general

My neighbors watching me walk down the street to buy myself a nice barra de pan:

Elected officials should be forced to stare at threatening images of icebergs for an hour every day. This is not just what we're destroying; this is the wrath that is coming for us. Awesome, numinous, beautiful and terrifying.

There's actually a lot of overlap between "You Won't Believe What Nuns Were UP To" and "Niche Tax Documents in Provence". That's the GOOD good shit.

Of all the plot devices out there, amnesia has to be one of my least favorites. It's lazy, it feels like the writers just walking back on interesting ideas, and it's boring as shit. While we're on the subject: does Silo S3 ever get any better or nah?

Really interesting thought! Not that I know of, but I've been out of the loop for ages. Anybody else got anything?

Fun thing! I'm looking at a copy of a book of summaries of Aristotle’s natural philosophy (Naturalis totius philosophiae paraphrases (1538)), and the book has a semi-circle mirror set into the backboard. Has any one seen this elsewhere? What's going on? A device to connect up with the Aristotle?

No donut in real life has ever tasted as good as these donuts do in my imagination

«Hoy Alemania ha declarado la guerra a Rusia. Por la tarde fui a nadar». Kafka, 1914. Ciento doce años después. Abres el móvil, descubres tres guerras nuevas, Musk hace volar un coche y Trump quiere comprar Groenlandia. Cierras la aplicación, te preparas un café y sales a comprar pan.

Hello Tuesday. 🖼️ Edward Gorey

A one-year-old Black BABY was murdered and the state of Mississippi is claiming the white officer who did it was "justified". An absolutely horrifying outrage and injustice.

Grave Goals, tbh

I'm not often jealous of the folks back home (for REASONS) but missing out on the rerelease of THE DEVILS is killing me. This is foundational-level stuff for me, the deep Hesse-lore, and I'll never get to see it on the big screen 😭
