The difference between cucumbers and pickles is jarring.
It turning that the dogs were just following one around because she was in heat is kinda funny.
Why do the figures on the newer ones tend to look like they fell out of those airplane safety brochures that tell you to put your own oxygen mask on first
Your brain is too pure to retain such filth
Deftly upsetting is such a compliment, thank you!
I struggled to find the right word to describe "Vitrification" by Ishmael Grey in @othersidespec.bsky.social but I'm going to go with "deftly upsetting". A scream of grief and it's magnificent what Grey gets across in <1000 words here.
I'm so sorry. Losing a pet is fucking awful.

I read a draft of this and loved it, it instantly hooked me with a cool concept and MC with a great voice. I can't wait to see the final version!
Now there's 2 reasons to give support for Nuremberg 2028 π
The thematic perfection makes me want it to happen.
Keeping on the bug theme, You Weren't Meant To Be Human has worms and body horror and monstrous extremes of self loathing. The most fucked up horror I've read.
The Works Of Vermin, with monstrous bugs and monstrous people. Truly great shit, the messiest queers.
