They have no gods. They work magic, and think they are gods themselves. But they are not. And when they die, they become dust and bone, and their ghosts whine on the wind a little while till the wind blows them away. They do not have immortal souls.

Reseña de 'Follow me to Ground', de Sue Rainsford. "Una novela con tintes de película de terror de A24 o del propio Cronenberg, ensamblados en una historia de horror corporal con tintes weird y de cuento de hadas oscuro". Vía @mangrii.bsky.social

I've lived too many lives in the last four months. I know I've said I want to live every possible human experience.
I didn't mean in the span of half a year.
I came back from Colombia to France and temperatures decided to fall drastically the day I arrived. It snowed... In Paris, where it never snows. Am I cursed?
People saying "but if we defined 'middle class' that way there would basically BE no middle class in America!!"
Me:
I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.
This is blackout poetry to me

A medieval illustration of a hedgehog with grapes skewered on its spines
It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea
Might not finish 'The Magic Mountain' by Thomas Mann. I like long, philosophical reads, but this one feels off. Part of it is bc I grew up at 2600m in Bogotá, and this novel takes place at the 'mystical' height of... 1300m. It's too European for my Colombian ass. Maybe I'm missing the point but idc.
Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event
Es a penas la segunda vez que vuelvo a Colombia desde que me fui hace más de cuatro años. La vez pasada fue un reencuentro con un país que extrañaba y empezaba a desconocer. Quería volver a mi casa en París.
Esta vez se siente distinto y por primera vez en mucho tiempo me pregunto cómo sería volver.
A writing schedule reads 530am wake up and lie there, 615am get up and eat breakfast (lots). 715am get to work writing, writing, writing. Noon lunch. 1 to 3pm reading, music. 3 to 5pm correspondence, maybe house cleaning. 5 to 8 pm make dinner and eat it. After 8pm I tend to ve very stupid and we won't talk about this
I far prefer LeGuin's writing schedule.

the "medieval people didn't know how to draw animals" crowd has been real quiet ever since john siferwas dropped the Perfect Woodcock
And it's still going on, dear lord, make this month end once and for all.
Make them understand we don't want their planet-burning slop machines.

Sometimes I wish I could hide away from all responsibilities and just play video games forever.

I loved this game but I was always too dumb to actually understand it. My cities would always succumb to fires, drought and famine.
I am become death.
One of the joys of collecting folklore is having conversations where lines such as: “When my sister spent some years transformed into a fox …” tumble out quite naturally. – #CLNolan #FolkloreSunday
This is the truest truth of any creative career
"For me, so much of the value of horror is seeing characters stand up to forces far greater than themselves -- forces they often don't even fully understand. Characters in horror learn as they go. They adapt. At The Meeting, they share what they've learned. They come up with a plan. They don't always win. But they show us how to stand up."
Why I love horror.
Also: this is not just a post about horror.
