I just remembered that next year will see the release of @voraciousbrain.bsky.social‘s book on disgust. Trust me on this: The history of science writing will never be the same.

when you live in the country, every so often a neighbor down the way will use a bewildering power tool after dark and you just spend several porch sits listening to it and imagining what on god's fucking green earth they could possibly be doing with their flashlight and a dream

I can’t wait to see what Leigh will do with this topic. Their earlier articles which touched upon the topic of disgust are giving me high hopes. I have no doubt that “Gross” will go down as one of the most interesting and most twisted science books of all. 4/4

Leigh’s prior book “Hurts So Good” is a masterful exploration of pain on purpose. It’s one of the most fascinating and insightful things you’ll ever read (I was lucky enough to consult on the pain science in the book). 3/4

I’ve been calling Leigh the best science writer in the world for many years. The reason for this is that they’re absolutely meticulous about the scientific details, and at the same time their writing is incredibly emotive. If Leigh wants you to feel something, you *will* feel it. 2/4

FRIENDS! FRIENDS! There was a book deal announced today, and it’s a big one. The one and only @voraciousbrain.bsky.social will be writing a book on the science of disgust. Here’s why I’m extremely excited about this: 1/4

Deal of the Day
Author of HURTS SO GOOD Leigh Cowart's
GROSS, a deep dive into the biology and psychology of the paradoxically seductive emotion of disgust-how it preserves personal and communal dynamics and protects our boundaries-and its intrinsic relationship with curiosity, desire, and belonging, pitched as Mary Roach with more chaos, to Aubrey Martinson at Crown, by Anna Sproul-Latimer at Neon Literary (NA).

oooh the clothing argument! I like it, but single unit for ass in briefs, two units of all for thongs and gym shorts that have the scrunchie thing up the butt crack two units of boob in a cup bra, one unit of boob for the sports bra the ambiguous nature of humps, may they vex us eternal

Leigh Cowart @voraciousbrain.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

oooh expanding the lump category, a risky but exciting move. Is a word as unsexy as "lump" being used only to refer to erotic lumps and, if so, who defines the erotic? perhaps it is here that the song really reaches for genius
