Remember when Erotica was a genre and not a subgenre of Romance?

The first chapter of one of the novels I’ve been working on for a while now. Cabaret Delancey. Rewritten and worried over. A woman learns to seduce. A mirror, a camera, a couple, herself. This leads her to look for new avenues for her desire. open.substack.com/pub/dandywri...

Vanessa never meant to seduce the mirror.

Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups and reproductive health organizations in the past weeks in what campaigners call one of the “biggest waves of censorship” on its platforms in years.

No big deal. Just meeting a hero who ended up being kind and talkative and amazing.

You’re a bear? An otter? I’m a capybara. I’m mellow, everyone likes me, and I’m kind of a slut.

I did so many amazing things in France and Thailand, but feeding and petting capybaras is pretty high on the list.

Lots of things are illegal and still ethical. In fact many things that are illegal are morally imperative.

FYI I don’t use the term ethically non-monogamous because I don’t think people get to label themselves or their relationships ethical. In fact I find that concept super weird. I just say non-monogamous.

Being the out polyamorous person in my office means women tell me about the shitty interactions they’ve had with “ENM” dudes. And I’m like, yes, but also, now tell me about all the shitty interactions you’ve had with "monogamous" dudes. It’s not non-monogamy, it’s just toxic masculinity.

To me, Andor is the perfect example of how constraints can help artists. It's essentially a French Revolution saga forced into Star Wars' childlike logic. That limitation, plus compressing years into one season, made Gilroy craft and distill and hone everything. 1/2

Andor is proof that you should always give Tony Gilroy lots of money.

Review for Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir - It was fine. Propulsive and dripping with science, but the whole time felt like a retelling of The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton. It has already evaporated from my memory. The ending was very unsatisfying, and not in a way that felt intentional.

"Prevost has opposed the ordination of women to the diaconate" "Opposed the inclusion of curriculum regarding 'teachings on gender in schools'" "Lamented that popular culture fostered 'sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the Gospel'" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Le...

I'm reading Project Hail Mary and like all Andy Weir it is somehow both completely fun mindless entertainment and the most intensely hard sci-fi homework ever. It's very much like watching in-depth chess recaps at 3am. Which I've also been doing.

While I loved Thunderbolts*, I'm enjoying Yelena Belova/Kate Bishop fan fiction much more.

#bookreview of Luster by Raven Leilani A complicated read on a few levels. A narrator who is remarkably different from me, but with huge overlap. She’s living in Brooklyn, graphic design background, artist, bisexual, non-monogamous, weird. She’s a woman, Black, different trauma, Gen Z. 1/3

The country seems split into two camps: capitalism doesn’t work unless we traumatize people vs capitalism doesn’t work unless we traumatize people.
