"I have not read 'Ulysses', but believe that the principle of the stream-of-consciousness method is a valuable one—destined to influence fiction in the future. However, I doubt its value as an exclusive method of narration."
—H. P. Lovecraft to L. M. White, 31 May 1935, LJS 356

Not loving the new Mieko Kawakami novel so far. Hoping it picks up for me but it's looking like she's not going to top Breasts and Eggs for me.

Americans love to respect their soldiers so let me make this clear: their military is an imperialist bully-squad, deployed worldwide to remind various parts of the world of America's military might, and always ready to kill whichever non-white people are in the current administration's crosshairs.

dan simmons, author of multiple, deeply contemptible works of racism fiction, has died. congratulations, and no, hyperion was not as good as the obituaries will say it was

The Lv1 redacted deer standing at night in the snow in front of the mountains and the moon.

But tonight Lv1 is alive and in the west
highlands with his herd. It is a perfect

*except a couple, here and there, randomly
