learned yesterday about the legend where my great-times-10 grandpa's was saved from execution by a gnome who owed him a favor. very much a "yeah i'll incorporate that into my belief system" situation. gnomes exist. grampa godfrey got away

this bit made me happy. peer-reviewed ishmael mobydick understander

screenshot from a goodreads review

Specifically, Esmail Rostami stands as as one of the best adaptations [of MOBY-DICK's Ishmael] I've read, and Savannah's character and relationship to Noah feels very lived in. The ConBod storyline started out as a cool way to explore how disability and bodily autonomy will be handled in the centuries to come, and ended up as one of my favorite sci-fi plots in recent memory.

the beginning of the chorus to "9 to 5" has been perpetually stuck in my head for over a year. it just lives there now. and elbowing its way into the scene is part of a song from repo the genetic opera (2008) and lemme tell you. "zydrate comes in a little glass vial" does NOT fit dolly's meter
