For your convenience, the Pride and Prejudice live-posting super-thread 📚
A drawing of Elizabeth Bennet, a lovely young woman with her long hair tied up nearly under a ribbon and wearing what is most likely a neo-classically inspired dress, looking pensive, two letters in her hand. Meanwhile Darcy, a handsome but stern-looking fellow, looks longingly at her. Also there is me, a little gremlin in big round glasses, skulking about in the background and hoping that they kiss. 

The accompanying text reads “Trung reads Pride and Prejudice for the first time, somehow.”

I warily scoop up the gelatinous apple and place it my crate of faerie throwaways—floating fish that gasp and thrash in water; flat cat-eyes; a wolf’s hiccup. The apple quivers before exploding with a belch of foul rotten eggs. The fish flail away, but the ouroboros snake only eats its own tail.

Sometimes I feel so hungry for life that I keep biting and biting off more than I can chew. I wonder if it’s a spoonie thing.

If you want to listen to the whole episode, I'd love that. It's a talk with Stephanie Foo about complex PTSD, a condition a lot of people have without knowing it. Maybe you? It may also do a little bubble bursting if you idealized This American Life. maximumfun.org/episodes/dep...

Counting treasures I found in 2025: “What My Bones Know” by Stephanie Foo was a blistering read that, in its ever present undercurrent of hope and healing, gifted me a future to look forward to. And coming out of whatever rock I’ve been under to find Philip Pullman’s works was pure joy! #reading
