n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 04/10/2026i do want to have more people over more often, please tell me your fave soups & maybe i'll make them for my mates at some point 011
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 04/10/2026social soup seems to be my autumn 2026 vibe. i've cooked three meals for people coming round to our house over the past three weekends, and they have all been soup-based (for the interested: green minestrone, ramen, leek & potato) 160
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 03/10/2026oh wow, that's wild. it's more like i've noticed that trend of reflexive defensiveness in people who have very parasocial relationships with anyone with any form of social capital that gets accused of rape/dv/other serious interpersonal violence 030
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 03/10/2026(disclaimer: don't know this youtuber, did not read that article, but at the end of the day these things often boil down to the same essential ingredients) 130
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 03/10/2026at the very least, actually reflect on things and come to a proper conclusion rather than some kneejerk 'oh, this online person i think is my long-distance low-commitment casual bestie did a bad thing but i'm a Good Person who likes Good Things so that means it's complicated' bullshit 130
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 01/10/2026makes sense! i put leeks in mine, so i think you could definitely make a very tasty one without onion. 010
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 01/10/2026yeah, i'd never really had this kind of chowder style soup much before moving up, but since trying cullen skink after i moved to scotland, i've really enjoyed making it! there's something about the smoked flavour that just makes it feel even more warming and comforting 110
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 01/10/2026looks lush! never heard of this before, but i think i'm going to need to add it to my autumn/winter soup rotation! 110

n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 29/09/2026honestly i would not be surprised if companies just deliberately did not provide good information about consumer protection so that it's underutilised & maybe scrapped 020
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 28/09/2026yeah, it read a bit fanfic-esque to me bc of how unearned it was, like some sort of early modern au. there's a good book in there somewhere i think, just needed a bit more time to cook 010
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 28/09/2026the religious themes of between two fires also read less like an intro to catholicism post you might find on tumblr; it's probably more overtly christian/about christianity but i found it more readable bc i think the writing of btf is just better 110
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 28/09/2026@stillicides.bsky.social so i finished bone of my bone & didn't really like it that much either. for comparison to between two fires, the latter feels much more rooted in a medieval setting, the relationships between characters felt stronger, and it was also a more creepy & unsettling read 131
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 28/09/2026bone of my bone - johanna van veen didn't really care for this one, the plot & characters both felt half-baked. very AO3 (derogatory). find it hilarious this has two separate trigger warnings for christianity, but absolutely no forewarning of the numerous explicit (if tamely written) sex scenes. 000
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 28/09/2026still reeling from the time i went to a queer event & someone else (a student) clocked i was older than most other people there, but told me they thought this meant i was 25 💀 030
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 28/09/2026saw an ad for an event saying it was for people 28+. presumably a typo of 18+ but, omg, please, wouldn't it be wonderful to go to a social thing that definitely isn't just students and recent grads 130

n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 25/09/2026yeah, like i do not rate QT as a director & do not really like his other films, but i guess seeing this on the big screen as a late teen begining to explore anti-fascist values just kinda stuck with me lol. unfortunate, but worse things have happened 010
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 25/09/2026mood!! i get that with some other actors & completely with pitt's more recent stuff. IB is like a weird loophole for me, like i first saw it at precisely the right time which allows me to overlook its many flaws 110
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 25/09/2026i do think it is one of tarantino's best (hardly saying a lot lol) but yeah, it is long. & i can imagine the ads just cut into a lot of the tension that makes it more durable as a complete watch 210
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 24/09/2026also not yet watched ngl my biggest motivation is seeing people say taz muir drops p obvious references to it in gtn so like. now i need to see it to more fully appreciate this ridiculous book 120

n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 23/09/2026book club is next week (i like to live dangerously) so you will hear them soon 010
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 23/09/2026yeah, i've heard that they're kind of similar in that regard. bone of my bone is actually my next book club read, so probably will be the next entry on this thread haha 110
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 23/09/2026but yes i also wanted more weird creepy fly-worm cult stuff! i thought that part was so interesting & wished it had been a stronger part of the plot throughout 110
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 23/09/2026as a reader as well i think it's harder when it seems like a topic more raw for the author - like the book is experiences they are still processing, rather than shit they've largely processed. which is not to say people shouldn't do it or want to read it but just as you say, it can feel more insular 110
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 23/09/2026kind of hard to say concisely bc i think it links into both the explicit a to b to c mechanics of the story, and also into some of the themes that the plot explores. i imagine people might have a v different experience of it based on where they're coming from re: feelings & knowledge on the church 010
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 23/09/2026there's some stuff in there about holy relics, so it helps to know a bit about like the story of the bible and the history of the church. there are some meditations of faith and religion, but not in a particularly preachy tone, i found it almost heartwarming? 210
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 23/09/2026ofc! so, it's set during the plague & the whole story is framed around a battle between hell & heaven. one of the central characters is a priest, and the conclusion of the story takes place in avignon at the residence of the pope. 110
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 23/09/2026i can totally see why it would speak so much to some people & i did actually think about you when i was reading it, bc i thought it might be more up your street 110
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 23/09/2026yeah & i was excited to read it too, which i think didn't help! i would have enjoyed it more if i'd not read some other personal trauma books so recently, & i was kind of reflecting on why model home (which felt similar in many ways) hit so much harder & it v much is the personal experience thing 120
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 23/09/2026rebecca - daphne du maurier SO good. been vaguely on my to-read list for a while bc of the reputation, but i'd felt reluctant bc it's so often branded as a romance, when it's a v rich psychosexual bourgeois gender horror. daphne du maurier, i owe you an apology. i was not familiar with your game. 140
Reposted by nSMD's pension @anothersmd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The whole "small boats" issue is a problem created out of thin air by successive right wing governments and amplified by a racist media who don't want a single brown person in this country. It's so simple it fits in one post and I can add this sentence too. 1382119
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 23/09/2026this works on two levels: cops and politicians don't disagree with the aims of the fascists, but also fash violence is a disciplinary force on leftist critics of the state that they don't want to get rid of 021
n @falsedmitry.bsky.social · 23/09/2026re: all the danno tommo stuff, to anyone who's paid attention to fash organising in recent years, it's hardly surprising he's out on some massive fascist crime spree. these guys do crimes in front of cops on the reg & the response of the state is tolerance bc they don't actually want to stop it 152
