Monsters & Magical Sticks: There's No Such Thing as Hypnosis? has some good stuff in it, but when I hear someone describe it as funny I feel like I'm losing my mind
Excerpt from Monsters & Magic Sticks: "I am now going to go out on a limb. I hope that you will refrain from sawing it off while I am perched upon it. If you do saw it off, make sure there is a nice soft pillow for me to land on."

I like how JG Ballard's nightmare vision of modernity was inspired by a six lane highway in London, while the film was shot on the 401 in toronto which goes up to 18 lanes

They appear to be leaving out almost all of Claremont's X-men women, which is fine because they don't deserve them, let alone his fondness for putting characters into actual bdsm leather gear

It wasn't that long ago (well 30 years) that Ben Affleck's character was genuinely mystified by how a lesbian couple could have sex without a hard biological dick involved

Ursula Le Guin
Now the kind of writing I am attacking, the Poughkeepsie style of fantasy, is
also written in a plain and apparently direct prose. Does that make it equal to
Tolkien's? Alas, no. It is a fake plainness. It is not really simple, but flat. It is not
really clear, but inexact. Its directness is specious. Its sensory cues—extremely
important in imaginative writing—are vague and generalized; the rocks, the
wind, the trees are not there, are not felt; the scenery is cardboard, or plastic.
The tone as a whole is profoundly inappropriate to the subject.

Tumblr post: There's something absolutely filthy when you've read all my little posted writings, and I've read all your little posted writings, and we're up in each other's brains that way. Oh, you just referred to something I posted on Tumblr in 2017? Well I'm going to reference something you posted on fetlife in 2021. Doesn't matter whether or not the writings were sexual: it's on, pervert.

I always thought it was funny like when I was growing up and I would see shows like Leave it to Beaver or something like from the 50s and stuff, and everyone seemed like completely different and it was only 30 years ago. And I was like "well, these people are completely different than I am." Then I read like a novel from like 300 years ago and I go, "this guy's *exactly* like I am", like, that TV show's all a bunch of *lies*! They weren't like that at all, I just thought they were. But it is incredible when you read something from like 3 or 4 hundred years ago, and they're talking about, like, not wanting to fuck their wife, and worrying about death, and their kid doesn't love them, and all this stuff, it's amazing, we never change at all.

I saw Paying For It (2024), and I thought it was a really terrific and sensitive story about polyamory and sex work, plus a great 90s Toronto feel. Also probably has the most male nudity I've ever seen in a non-porno
